"Just a quick thing I want to shout out: DC are really showing a commitment to their series, not just stopping and starting constantly with new #1's after every 5-10 issues. Well done! So while the blog posts here may look like DC aren't putting out much new stuff, it's actually just because they are having really successful continuing series that are worth jumping onto instead!" - Brayden
