Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked: Publishing News
By Tom Spurgeon
*
this news article about DC doing a Frank Miller/JR JR year one of Superman book this summer has a significant supply of story hooks. The creators are at interesting points in their careers, the character has a high-profile within the comics line, the idea of bring attention to a project like this one with book-publishing type strategies bears watching, the whole idea of where this project will sit. with similar stories at the same company might be a bit nerdy for most but it's something that still has some weight. I'm sure there are a dozen more. I figure how this book works on audiences will drive a lot of its impact. That sounds banal, but comics has a long history of manufacturing event-type comics and rules for their success have yet to be set in stone.
