It seem like just yesterday that DC unveiled the swirl logo that is at the top of every New52 book. It was actually about seven years ago.
Now they have unveiled a brand new logo over at Fast Company and on their blog The Source.
The big reveal teased at the way the logo will get tweaked for various properties... including WATCHMEN!
The logo will start showing up on comics in March, so get used to it. |
 You've read the novel, you've seen the Swedish film, you've seen the Hollywood film, but let's be honest what you really want is the graphic novel featuring Lisbeth Salander.
Vertigo Comics - you know, the guys and girls behind Hellblazer, Y the Last Man, Sandman, Transmetropolitan, Fables, The Unwritten and heaps more of the most cutting edge comics not suitable for the little ones - have announced that in November they will be publishing the graphic novel adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s international sensation THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO!
We don't have any catalog details for this book yet so stay tuned for when we make the announcement that we can start taking pre-orders.

 Like all good things, not every title of the New 52 could last forever.
So DC are bringing six titles to a close at issue #8.
But fret not, there are six new titles riding in to fill hearts with anticipation and your standing order drawer with comics!
While it is always sad to see series we enjoy draw to a close we must admit that we are dead excited about these new titles! Not only do we get to see Australia's own Nicola Scott back on a regular monthly super hero book, we get to see more of Morrison's Batman, the return of Power Girl, The Unkown soldier and a great new version of a book that is essentially Ben 10 for adults!
