DC is repurposing more of the new stories from its DC Giants print anthologies for new digital releases for the second week of its expanded “DC Digital First” initiative.
For the week starting Monday, April 27, DC will be releasing second issues of these “DC Digital First” titles which have been debuting this week on what the publisher is referring to as their “new seven-days-a-week cadence of digital comics,” another clue as to why this appears to be the tip of the iceberg in an upcoming larger digital push.
Tuesday, April 28 will be an especially interesting day – as not only will Batman: Gotham Nights #2 debut digitally, but DC’s regularly weekly releases will resume in print with a new Tuesday release date thanks to its new comic shop distributors Lunar and UCS.
Here is DC’s descriptions of the “DC Digital First” titles coming next week:
