Marvel had the 'nuff said month in 2002. Howabout a special month of silent stories for DC?
Batman - Maybe a many deaths of Batman remake running through all the bat books.
A Harley Quinn silent gag-strip issue, Green lanterns encounter a race that uses a different mode of communication, Superman/LOSH using Kryptonian and Interlac, Ravagers/omega men in the silent vacuum of space....
Your ideas on this?
Jericho, Bizarro and Cass Cain going on adventure together
Not that Bizarro
Not that Bizarro either
Byrne's Bizarro

Deadshot silently taking out a hit
Deathstroke in a gunfight where gunblasts and explosions drown out the sound of characters trying to speak
I love silent issues, but jeez, you gotta have a good writer/artist team in sync with one another or it's a complete mess.

You make an excellent point. It is a gamble, even with a wonderful idea as some of those that have been offered are. In my opinion, the silent issue is a gimmick and the silent month screams gimmicky. I'd think a few issues as opposed to a blanket theme would work better and have far more of a chance for critical success. Stuff like a Flash running faster than sound so hearing dialogue would be totally different could also be a good fit.
The idea definitely has potential. I like it.
With regular monthly books going for $5 a pop, I want every bit of value I can get out of them. These days I'd feel ripped off if I bought a comic with no words. :)
The issue where Damian Wayne died many years ago (maybe not the exact issue) was a silent issue I believe. I may be wrong but I remember something like it. It was simply amazing. Very moving issue.
This sounds like an awesome idea to me. It is a total gimmick, but so much goodness could come out of it.
