DC Comics wants my money on the iPad. Happy to...

I’m not sure which news the comics world will find more shocking — that DC Comics is rebooting the whole DC Universe (yes, again) with #1 issues of every title, or that starting with Justice League #1 on August 31, every DC title will be released as a digital edition simultaneously with the print issue.

“Just” 5 percent? That’s AMAZING for a category that, in essence, didn’t exist 2 years ago. Add to it that the overwhelming majority of those tablets are iPads, and you have an INCREDIBLE success story.
