DC Comics Announces REBIRTH Line with All Titles at $2.99


The curtain has finally been raised.

Comic Book Resources has posted the full list of titles for DC Comics'  upcoming "Rebirth" that is scheduled to begin on May 25, 2016 with the release of an 80-page special DC Universe: Rebirth #1, priced at just $2.99.

Afterwards, DC will start releasing various "Rebirth" specials and relaunched #1 issues for their ongoing series, apart from Action Comics and Detective Comics, which will return to their original numberings where they left off at #957 and #934, respectively.

According to the article, the line will include two types of books -- those published twice monthly and those published on a monthly basis.  Every DC Universe book, regardless of their publication schedule, will be priced at $2.99.  The line will consist of 32 total ongoings, 17 twice-monthly and 15 monthly titles.  DC will also publish 23 "Rebirth" one-shots ahead of launching the new ongoings.

"At DC we believe in superheroes, and what makes them great," said DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Dan DiDio in a statement.  "And, we also believe in the direct market and the core comics fan. 'Rebirth' is designed to bring back the best of DC's past, embrace the stories we currently love and move the entire epic universe into the future.  We are returning to the essence of the DCU.  With 'Rebirth' we are putting the highest priority on the direct market and we will continue to create and cultivate new opportunities for retailers to thrive and prosper, grow readers, fans and customers."

The article also states that creative team information on DC's new lineup is set to be revealed next month at WonderCon in Los Angeles, on Saturday, March 26.  The event will be live-streamed on DC's YouTube channel, for those unable to attend the event in person.
