DC’s next weekly: Wednesday Comics
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — DC’s Dan Didio announced the next weekly comic-book from DC at the ComicsPRO Annual Meeting. Called “Wednesday Comics,” this 12-week series will resemble an oversized comics section that folds down to a traditional comic-book size.
“It’s an experience now,” Didio said. “The art is larger. There’s a lot of story on each page.”
These will be 16 pages featuring fifteen original one-page features. Mark Chiarello championed the project, Didio said.
Creators involved with the project include Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso, the “100 Bullets” team, will create a Batman tale for the project. Neil Gaiman and Michael Allred will be involved with a Metamorpho project. Other creators named were Paul Pope, Walt Simonson and Dave Gibbons.
Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner will be involved with a “Supergirl” serial, and Joe Kubert will be returning to Sgt. Rock.
“I love the excitement, I love the energy that a weekly comic brings,” Didio said. “We’re anxious to stay in that business.”
