Comic Superheros have provided the movie industry with some of its biggest blockbusters, so when DC Comics (a subsidiary of Warner Brothers) announced it was going to re-vamp and re-fashion all of their super and not-so super characters it generated a lot of tense anticipation.Well that day has come. New comic issues will re-start with the #1, as DC decided it wanted the decades old characters to reflect new and modern versions of themselves. "We want to inject new life into our characters" explained Dan Didio, DC's Co-Publisher, "we want to focus more on the interpersonal relationships between the characters which will be set in new story lines".
All of the DC characters from Superman to Wonder Woman will be given a new look and costume coupled with persona changes to better resonate with their audience. In fact, DC has spawned several new characters: Lesbian Batwoman, Hispanic Blue Beetle, and African-American Cyborg. The first comic to be released with the new specs will be "Justice League No. 1" out August 31st. In September, no less than 51 comics will debut.DC is making all of its new comics available digitally via apps and the DC website the same day the print versions are released. DC and Marvel Comics have both made mega-millions off the movie adaptations of their characters, both have a bright and lucrative future, so a face-lift and re-set were in order.
Can't wait to see the new Flash, my favorite hero.
Best and Happy Movie Going!
