Comic book Corner
DC Comics has cancelled Vertigo Comics permanently - What does it mean
- DC Zoom Cancelled
- DC Ink Cancelled
- Now only 3 imprints
○ DC Kids from ages 8-12
○ DC will be 13 and up
○ Black Label is for 17 and up
- Makes sense, but what is the secret gossip? The former DC president Diane Nelson created all of these imprints, the new president Pamela Lifford wants the bare minimum of imprints with the most simplistic branding possible. This means that some comics are going to have to either change to Black Label, be cancelled, or be toned down to fit into DC (13 and up).

What was initially thought to be a Fantastic Four/Spiderman crossover after Marvel revealed a "webbed number 4" the next day we learned it was a countdown. What did it count down?
