Following the overwhelming success of 2013’s “Villains Month” 3-D motion covers, DC Comics is bringing the technology back this September! Spinning out of the events of the new weekly series THE NEW 52: FUTURES END, comic books will leap 5 years into the future! This fall expect the books to have even more depth and motion than before!
DC announces its September event for the year.
In all honesty, if this isn’t accompanied with a “Hey, we seriously fucked this up last year and we’ve learned from our lesson and here’s proof – for one thing, we’re going to overprint the whole thing so that retailers aren’t screwed again” type mea culpa from DC, they’re doing it wrong.
Related: As much as I like the idea of Futures End in concept (I suspect the execution will be too dystopian for my liking, but we’ll see), and as much as I like the idea of jumping all of the regular comics forward for a month to give glimpses of what’s going to come even though it probably won’t – hey, I bought all of the Armageddon 2001 annuals way back when, and it’s exactly the same gimmick – and as much as I like the idea of weekly comics in general… Adding all of these together sounds like a Countdown to Final Crisis-esque disaster waiting to happen to me.
