DiDio, Lee on DC’s Rebirth, comic pricing & sales numbers

DiDio: One of the things that’s strange is we were planning #1s through September and possibly into October, but the relaunch was so strong at the beginning that we actually delayed some of the later books into next year to give them more time to spend, to build them creatively, but also we didn’t feel the urgency. We wanted to make sure we didn’t overwhelm the fan base right from the start with so many titles that we decided to delay some of the material. So we made slight adjustment on our schedule so books like Justice League America and Super Sons that we announced for later this year are moving into 2017.

Dan Didio announcing that they’re extending DC Rebirth into 2017 and pushing back the debuts of JLA and Super Sons to next year is pretty big news. Did anyone at CBR catch that? Seems like it’s worthy of its own headline.

2017:(

Okay but who are the writers

>Super Sons is not cancelled

NO NEWS :(

yup,

He's lying. Stealth cancelled confirmed.

?

>we're earning so much money, we've decided to not earn any more money this year

Surely Sup Forums won't swallow this?

Marlel did it with a lot of their titles and DC did this with new 52 as well.

DC!=Marlel

why do you think it's being pushed to 2017

If you launch too many #1 at once the bigger titles will cannibalize the smaller ones.

damifag in rooins

>We were earning good money with 19 titles, so we added a hundred more to earn more money.
Impeccable economics 10/10

I'll believe it when I see some comichron numbers
Cause DC has like 8 minis + 4 Young Animal books between September and November

It makes perfect sense. When you know you can get more money off #1 sales, it's smart to pace them instead of all at once making the fanbase have to decide which they want more, leaving some books in the wind.

At least they're not pushing back Young Animal.

this is exactly why omega men did so badly

More likely due to writers. Didio said that Super sons was his favourite title, so it must be someone important enough. Maybe DC are waiting for the writers of both titles to have more free time.

Well that and it was too dense for the average comic book fan.

>rooins
I do not know the English word?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Alright.

Enjoy 2nd place again, guys.

better than cancelling it 5 issues in

Okay.

>muh iraq war
>dense
Wew

You are joking, but that's what DC is doing right now. They are not planning to surpass Marvel( publishing less than 40 books overall is a clear signal of that), the current goal seems to be to increase the quality of the whole line, regain the fans trust and reinforcing the A-listers with the biweekly releases.

They're playing the long game, while marvel is relying on events and shit to spike to the top for a while. I think DC's plan is the most sound.

Long game only works if you stick around long enough for it to pay off.
So let's hope Johns don't jump ship to Marvel

Considering Johns' position within DC right, Marvel would have to offer him EiC or Publisher and a fuckton of incentives.

why the fuck would he you retard, he has a very high position in DC that hes worked very hard for.

>delusion

>So let's hope Johns don't jump ship to Marvel

You do realize that Johns is the biggest DC fanboy who's ever lived, right?

Why in the FUCK would he leave DC? Especially before he's been made EiC or the actual President (not the pseudo-president) of the company?

and he doesn't seem to have the same kind of love for Marvel characters, based on his Avengers run

Johns is CCO, co president and is practically doing Harras' EIC job.

> super sons, moving to 2017
Why do you hate me so, universe?

once again:

The
writer
has
not
been
announced

Stop thinking with your boner. There's no reason to think the book would've been good in the first place, so nothing is lost.

It's better this way. It won't have to complete with a lot of new #1s when it launches later.

Maybe it's possible that Jorge is also doing the writing?

JSA, Atom, and Captain Marvel WHEN, DC?

Good idea though. Smart move on their part, honestly.

>Super Sons that we announced for later this year are moving into 2017

Fuck you

>we made so much off the #1s that we want to get some #1 dollars next year too
seems reasonable

>is the biggest DC fanboy who's ever lived

>didnt read vertigo aside from animal man
>didnt like batman
>never touched a wonder woman comic until 2014
>didnt read the new gods until his run as JL writer

He is a fanboy of some characters, but now he is a fanboy of himself

He's more of a fan of 80s and Silver Age stuff. Guys like Superman, Flash and GL that are simple characters but are plain heroic. Also the guy loves his obscure and not popular characters.

Literally all I want is the atom book and for it to be good
Pls

He wasn't even born during the silver age.

>You have to be born right when the comics are coming out to be able to read them growing up.

Okay.

Yeah, he used to buy back issues from ebay or pirate them or read them on Sup Forums during 80s.

There aren't a lot of writers I trust with the JSA, honestly. I know Orlando has expressed interest and he'd probably be pretty good, but I can't think of anyone else offhand now that Johns got kicked upstairs.

I think he actually did steal them since the story is different every time he tells it (sometimes from a relative, once he found them in the woods) but it seems like he and his brother read an old box of silver age stuff and then the first book he bought was an issue of COIE.

I think

>he found them in the woods
Somehow I will believe this to be true if it's Johns
He sounds like the kind of person that will find strange shit in a box in the woods

He's fine, but he's already doing Titans and Aquaman on top of Earth 2.

Its not unheard of. Around here, you can find sheds and barns filled to the brim with old magazines. Easy to imagine comics were kept in the same way when Johns was young.

Just like the old stories of finding a box of porno, eh?

>tfw older kids found our box of porno and burned it all
Fags.

While you were typing out your post, Marvel relaunched it's books SEVEN TIMES.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're just waiting to have a solid plan for the JSA before canceling Earth 2. Lord if Abnett isn't trying to salvage it but the thing is clearly running on fumes.

>Earth Two just reboots into JSA Proper

It becomes Earth 2.2

>On one hand
YAAAAY Super Sons isn't cancelled!!!
>On the other hand
awwww man, I have to wait a year.
At least it will give them time to perfect it.

Not really a year, I mean it was coming out late 2016, so if it comes out early 2017 it's not that much longer

I'm getting flashbacks from mighty no. 9 all over again

They are probably going "the real reason New-52 was such a clusterfuck was that it was too much to fast" and trying to play it safe..

...

Prez part 2 is still coming out this year... right?

they already have like 11 or 12 non rebirth books coming out through november so it might get pushed back a bit if it's not in the next solicits

Didn't he say that this book was his favourite from Rebirth?
