DC Comics Relaunch: All 54 – Not 52 – Books Locked Up & JUSTICE SOCIETY Shut Out Or More #1’s In October?

UPDATED: With all the books announced by DC or a creator and expected announcements after September 2011.

Also, check out which books made it on to my list of the Top 19 DC Comics Relaunch titles.

Ok, let’s start at beginning before we touch on today.

So, it would appear that DC’s initial announcement touted 52 new #1’s in September 2011.

Here’s what DC said:

“DC Comics will be making history this September. We’ll be renumbering the entire DC Universe line of comic books with 52 first issues. We’re publishing innovative storylines featuring our most iconic characters helmed by some of the most creative minds within the industry.”

So, that doesn’t stop other #1’s coming later. We already know of Batman Inc. for 2012. And, technically Justice League #1 is out in August 2011.

So, technically, DC has 51 #1’s shipping in September 2011, one #1 shipping in August 2011 (Justice League #1), and another #1 (Batman Inc. #1) in early 2012. We also have a Batman Beyond #1 creator confirmed with no specific release date though.

That gives us 54 books announced. Here’s how that shakes out:

NOTE: Even though JUSTICE LEAGUE #1 comes out in August, DC is counting it towards its 52 #1’s in September 2011.

Creator Confirmed

52. Batman Beyond – Not sure when it’s coming out

No Justice Society?

That’s 52 for September and no Justice Society. So, we`ve gone from two JSA books, to one book, to NONE?

NOTE: Dan Didio has confirmed the fate of the JSA here.

However, there could be more #1’s in October or later?

Wishful Thinking?

If there are more #1’s soon, are these on the radar?

Your Turn :)

What do you think? What have you heard? More #1’s in October?
