DC Connect replaces the DC section of Diamond’s Previews, which no longer carries DC titles since the publisher ended its distribution agreement with Diamond last year (see “DC Cutting Off Diamond”).
The magazine will continue to be available online via the DC website and DC Universe Infinite. It includes information on upcoming releases, cover art, previews, and other content, including glimpses of projects that are currently in the works. The June issue will include a number of September titles, including
- I Am Batman #1, by John Ridley and Olivier Coipel, which is part of the Batman: Fear State event (see “‘Fear State’ Brings a New Horror Event to Gotham City”)
