Wednesday Comics
Ok, I’m really excited about this. starting July 8th Dc is starting a weekly series called Wednesday Comics. Each week a variety of artists and writers are going to provide one page stand-alone(-ish) comics featuring a bunch of the DC heroes you know and a lot you don’t know. They are approaching this like the Sunday newspaper comics so anyone will be able to jump in at anytime without needing a lot of backstory and who everyone is and what’s going on. I think this is a great idea and gives a lot of exposure to different kinds of writing, artwork and characters.
Here is a list of the artists and characters that will be featured in the first 12 weeks:
- BATMAN, WEDNESDAY COMICS‘ weekly cover feature, by the Eisner Award-winning 100 BULLETS team of writer Brian Azzarello and artist Eduardo Risso
- ADAM STRANGE, by writer/artist Paul Pope (BATMAN: YEAR 100)
