At first, I didn’t really like the idea of three of him, by the end of it, for some reason, I kinda liked the idea.

DC COMICS WILL CLOSE DOWN IN JUNE SAYS RUMOR
It's claimed that DC Comics will close down as we know it by June 2021, according to information provided to Ethan Van Sciver, a twenty-seven year veteran of the comic book industry who also recently said Jim Lee will be leaving the company.
Van Sciver, known for working on DC's Green Lantern with Geoff Johns (who recently announced he is publishing a creator-owned comic book at Image Comics and not with DC) claims an insider filled him in AT&T has plans to close down DC Comics publishing by June.
Van Sciver says that while the publishing of comic books will end, the popular characters such as Batman, Superman, etc. will live on in the form of movies, TV shows, and video games, which make money for AT&T while the comics do not.
Van Sciver continues, "I received a tip, by the way, an unverifiable tip, I gotta say, I don't know if it's true or not, but they are saying DC Comics will close down publishing paper comics in June of 2021. I think they just solicited March's comics, and I guess that, if this is true, that's going to be it."

ok hopefully it's bullshit then.wease wrote:Van Sciver is a far right wing nut.
Well, the story that bada posted (and didn't link to, by the way) claims that they AREN'T profitable. But I can't imagine that ceasing the comics would be good for the other mediums. When Marvel was trying to fuck with FOX, they stopped making the comic specifically to hurt the movies.VinylGuy wrote:Imagine having one of the most profitable ips in the world and not doing any comic books anymore. It doesnt make sense.
im sure they are. They just want MOAR money. Its super weird to cancel those IPS.B wrote:Well, the story that bada posted (and didn't link to, by the way) claims that they AREN'T profitable.
