DC Comics has released a couple of pages from the upcoming Wednesday Comics series, and it looks pretty schweeeeet!
The brainchild of DC Comics Art Director Mark Chiarello, WEDNESDAY COMICS is a unique and groundbreaking storytelling method — 16 pages, printed on broadsheet-size newsprint, featuring weekly stories by the best and brightest creators out there. It’s gotta look great, right?

I feel like I have to state this before I ask my question: I don’t read solicits/advance orders/whatevers. I get my comics as I sees ’em. Now, here’s my question. So is this what they are doing for a “weekly” when Trinity finishes? 52->Countdown->Trinity->Wednesday Comics?
No i think they will overlap, despite the name its not as much the schedule thats the groudnbreaking thing but rather the creator freedom and format. I think it looks too have great potential.
Kudos to DC and Dan Didio for coming up with this idea. They take a lot crap on the internet for some of their decisions, but don’t get enough praise when they come up with something good.
A weekly format is the perfect way to publish an anthology book. Hopefully this will bring in some new readers to DC. I have a few friends who are interested in comics, and I’ve already suggested this series to them.
The FINAL CRISIS: AFTERMATH minis are essentially the “weekly” books for now. Presumably, WEDNESDAY COMICS will be ready to go once those books run their respective courses.
Wow… the Superman looks good..
The Batman looks classic.
