I talked about this in the DC Nation thread but I think this could be a big thing so I'm going to make a thread for it.
DC's Dan Didio announced the next weekly comic-book from DC at the ComicsPRO Annual Meeting. Called "Wednesday Comics," this 12-week series will resemble an oversized comics section that folds down to a traditional comic-book size.
"It's an experience now," Didio said. "The art is larger. There's a lot of story on each page."
These will be 16 pages featuring fifteen original one-page features. Mark Chiarello championed the project, Didio said.
Creators involved with the project include Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso, the "100 Bullets" team, will create a Batman tale for the project. Neil Gaiman and Michael Allred will be involved with a Metamorpho project. Other creators named were Paul Pope, Walt Simonson and Dave Gibbons.
Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner will be involved with a "Supergirl" serial, and Joe Kubert will be returning to Sgt. Rock.
"I love the excitement, I love the energy that a weekly comic brings," Didio said. "We're anxious to stay in that business."
I think this is a brilliant idea. The fact that it's got great creators, great characters, a unique format, free from continuity and is pretty much stand alone is brilliant. This is the kind of stuff that will attract new readers to comics. I am very excited for this. It's probably DC's best idea since 52.
And here's some art from Kyle Baker's Hawkman story:
Now you get one of those pages each week... times 15.
No word on price yet but it shouldn't be too much since it's newsprint, a different format and it's trying to attract new readers.
