DC Comics Droppin’ New Logos, Applies For Trademark. Hint: They’re Ugly.
DC! You’re always changing man. You just dropped a new logo like seven years ago, and now you’re already filing for a new one? And it’s way ugly? Settle down, I hardly know you these days.
Hit the jump to peep the logos.
DC Sells Over 5 Million Issues In 6 Weeks. Hype Wins.
All the buzz surrounding DC’s confusing, crappy, underwhelming and poorly reasoned relaunch has resulted in beaucoup sales for the published. Lots and lots of sales.
Variant Covers: Smile! The DC Relaunch Is Here!
The DC relaunch is here. Hide your children. The DC relaunch is here. Jim Lee is ruining your favorite characters’ costumes. The DC relaunch is here. They’re going to treat the Universe’s continuity like a buffet line. Picking and choosing what to keep. The DC relaunch is here. Their talking heads are spitting double-speak corporate nonsense, starring in embarrassing videos. The DC relaunch is here, they’re taking away our handicapped heroine, dragging Wildstorm and Vertigo characters into their orbit. The DC relaunch is here, and they’re going same-day digital and stabbing your favorite crusty old comic book store in the heart with a solid gold stake.
The DC relaunch is here.
And I think it’s for the best.
Video: DC Releases ‘New 52’ Commercial. This Won’t Work.
Putting aside any sort of snark, I cannot fathom this DC commercial for their ‘New 52’ persuading anyone who doesn’t read comic books to come check out their reboot-refresh-tabula-close-t0-rasa bullshit. I really can’t. It’s a cheese vomit concoction.
Hit the jump to check out the video.
And probably shake your head.
