[DragonPiece]

Really excited for Checkmate and the solicit really has me pulled in, I do hope Bendis shares what changed from last year eventualy. Also curious about if Alex had to scrap a lot of pages because of the changes.

Doesn’t sound like Black Label is going anywhere.

I like how they're reporting as news something he tweeted out six days ago.

Also we knew it wasn't going anywhere? They just announced a new book and there are several projects we know are in the pipeline.

One of BC’s rumors was BL was getting shut down, so people were worried.

Yeah, but I think it was shown not to be the case for a while now.

That doesn't say anything. Conroy is the one with the most seniority since Khouri and Doyle are gone. We really don't know what the upper management's plans for the BL are. The firings on the surface look like attempts to trim costs. But on the other hand given their reaction to Batdick, they may just be waiting for an excuse to dissolve BL. I think more likely the upper management has no concrete overall strategy other than WB/AT&T's need to keep costs down.

If they wanted to dissolve it they would've already done so, they certainly wouldn't be spinning up new project under the brand.

[HsssH]

Why would they even need an excuse to dissolve it?

[Bruce Wayne]

If it still makes them money, it's harder to justify dissolving something when your parent company is currently conscientious of cutting costs and holding on to what's profitable.

[HsssH]

I see that you are fully into "DC is going down" conspiracy theories.

[Digifiend]

Marvel solicits are out, so now we KNOW DC's should've been last week. DC is always BEFORE Marvel.

What's there to justify? Dissolving the brand would be at the behest of the parent company.

Right, but once the Newsarama guy said there was an actual delay we knew something was wrong.

Cool, we got the cover for Infinite Frontier and there is a secret files one-shot. One quick question though, it mentions the one-shot stories were digital first....but I haven't seen these stories at all, so what is up with that?

[MatthewFieldhouse]

Probably release weekly soon. Interesting way of releasing anthology. Hopefully they're full A4 pages and not halves.

They're probably going to release each individual story as a 99 cent chapter and this will be the print collection.
