And Arkhaven will be able to release Superman and Batman comics.
DC Comics has announced that this year’s San Diego Comic-Con will be intended to start the run-up and build a campaign toward DC Comics 100th anniversary in 2035. Which is also the year that DC Comics will lose copyright to Batman, as seen in Detective Comics #27. With Superman the year before, the Joker the year after and Wonder Woman the year after that. At which point, Marvel will be able to put Batman in X-Men and Superman in the Avengers if they so wish. So basically, given that they will be losing the keys to their IP kingdom running up to their 100th anniversary, As Bleeding Cool has said, expect DC Comics to be publishing madder and madder titles with looser and looser creative restrictions because, for their 100th anniversary, anyone will be able to do anything they want without fear of legal repercussions. So they might as well make some money for that.
It seems to me it’s time to unleash The Legend so we’ll be ready for that day. It’s only a decade away, after all. Speaking of which, we’re finally wrapping up the illustrations for Alt-Hero 7-12, which will go out to the backers this autumn. We’re also going to refund/exchange all of the backers of Midnight’s War 7-12, since we will do a new crowdfund for that one if we decide to continue it in the absence of the original illustrator.
