Beware of spies traveling through your multiverse especially if they wear a 4
Just so you know, unlike certain Comicsgaters, I have never reported that DC is shutting up shop. Because it is not. It is, however, changing its business model. And that is what i am reporting. Rather than "the sky is falling" I am reporting that comics book sales are up. It's just not in comic book stores.
What’s the status of Milestone?
Since ATAT bought out Warner, I just issue after issue with DC, like they don’t know what to do with them.
The most i see happening is that DC publishing will either get sold or get licensed out to other companies. That way a smaller profit will go to ATAT rather than breaking evening.
Also, they have all these characters like Flash, Green Lantern, Green Arrow and Wonder Woman. They should be killing it right now. I think the problem is that their films have largely been lacklustre outside of a hand full of characters.
That and they’ve been coasting on the success of the Nolan Batman films for over 10 years.
I hear Shazam was good, but that’s trying to compete more with Deadpool.
They need a killer film, not worrying about the larger universe, but one that is just a solid action film.
They make a solid Flash film, I can see them pulling back a bit more and actually getting somewhere.
I have been hearing that DC was on the verge of shutting down ages and it never happened. Cutting down their titles and publishing only profitable books is commercially sound especially in the age of pandemics.
Although as a fan I am not happy that certain books have been canceled but its reasonable.

"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
Let's also remember that each of the recent rumors, almost always started by EVS then spread by his Comicsgate followers like the appalling folks at cosmicbooknews, suggest that the reason DC will shut down is backlash for being too "woke."
Give cosmicbooknews.com a look (just one, they don't deserve you) to see how every single anti-DC (or Marvel) rumor hyped there originates from that bigot EVS. The same website blames every failed TV/film adaptation on equal rights and representation for women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ. These are the same people that tried to push a narrative that HBO's Watchmen wouldn't have a second season because it was so BAD, and so WOKE that it was a total failure and everybody hated it. No mention at all of why there actually wasn't a second season. "Alternative facts" FTW, y'all.
I don't deny the clearly bad news represented by the mass firings or the confusion at DC they temporarily engendered, but the ones that are really pushing these rumors? The ones that are actually hoping for DC to fail? Strangely, by today's standards at least, they're largely coming from racists, homophobes, incels, or, to put it another way, just all around Trump diehards. I don't mean to pick on Republicans or conservatives, btw, but Trump and his last living supporters are neither.
A must watch. Perch does an especially great job in this one, IMO. -

It's almost like these reactionary alt-right types are full of shit.
