Here's details of this week's new releases, including our Christmas special. Details of previous and future releases can be found on the calendar.
Also, this week in Planet DC2, a message from Sylvain Swimer aka darthsylly who, having made his entrance with his Superman: Order of the President series (check it out in the Fan Comics section) is now helping in the running of the DC2 Art Department:
Dear All,
Sylvain speaking, wishing you a very Merry Christmas in my first piece for Planet DC2.
For those of you at school or in Higher Education, the Christmas holidays have started and your presents are locked away in the attic until Christmas Eve. For our working members, Christmas is a time when the offices die down and annual leave becomes the dominating thought on everyone’s mind. That and the events of the Christmas Party!
The end of this year sees us tipping on the edge of releasing our 500th issue – an incredible achievement. Naturally this also means our 500th original piece of artistry (not including duplicate covers or interior art). The DC2 portfolio has never been stronger and I offer my congratulations to everyone who has worked on our projects.
For those of you currently not involved with the art department, now is as good a time as ever to consider jumping aboard; a plethora of new titles and vacancies on existing series ensure wonderful opportunities for all regardless of whatever standard you consider your artistry to be at (look at me – more than a dozen useless covers and counting!).
All the best,
- Syl
