I came here to laugh at you.
Can it even advertise things that aren't Twix?

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.

That was Chris Burnham who deleted his Twix tweet. I hope he didn't get in any big trouble about it :ohdear:

He also said they're in all the new DC books. And they're all two pages so it's that and the page opposite it. Thank God I only get digital books now because I don't think I would buy a physical copy with that in it at all.

Do we know if those ads are here to stay or if just something for the number 1s?

They are totally going to be around to stay, at least until DC finally submerges that sinking ship all the way underwater.



Either that, or you kill the internet to revive print media.

I'm not loyal to anything, General... except the dream.
DC's long-standing tradition of defying my expectations has reached a firm middleground.

So don't worry
I imagine doing it for the #1s is because June is such a highly publicized month, cramming more as in means more revenue when orders are certain to be in high numbers for many of these books.

But god why on the interior pages, that's just insultingly bad. Nobody wants to pick up a comic and have their reading interrupted by the equivalent of a pop-up ad. Just toss in an extra page of ad-space, don't gently caress with the creators and their stories like this.

What happened to the books Mystic U and Dark Universe. Did they get cancelled?

Mystic U is still happening iirc but Dark Universe might have been dropped for now since Tynion and Doyle dropped out due to workload (they're already doing Hellblazer)

Having worked in consumer products supported by advertising - once you create a new ad unit for advertisers, it'll always be on the table. Advertisers are always asking for new, better, and more intrusive ad units to get in front of consumers before the ad format becomes ruined/ignored (display ads).

At first it'll be a premium rate and only on special occasions - maybe twice a year or quarterly. Then it'll be every week. It may only be planned for one month now, but this is not the end of it.

Capullo and Snyder forced DC to drop the price of Batman back to $4. If this becomes a regular thing I'm sure they'll step up over it.

Damnit DC, I just added about 5 of your new titles to my pull list and you go and do this bullshit. I try split up my physical copies/digital copies evenly but this is really making me reconsider.
