CE, I suspect some higher-ups would get stroppy if there wasn’t some entry point into the “main” DCU, which is still the bread-and-butter of their strategies.

Personally, I think Marvel really missed the boat not having The Twelve done and collected to tie in.

JDH, the promo booklets will be given out at conventions (which more and more attract movie as well as comic fans), and there was some mention of giving them out at bookstores as well.

If these are going to be sold in comic book shops exclusively, this promotion is going to be a huge waste of time for DC.

Transmet movie NOW, dammit! I want to see Patrick Stewart as Spider before he gets too old.

Not only is “one of these things not like the other,” but interesting that they went with Identity Crisis and not Batman RIP (with which Dark Knight fans might feel more comfortable). Maybe Identity Crisis leads into more varied collections, or maybe Identity Crisis’s team-of-heroes-in-trouble vibe meshes more strongly with Watchmen?

Wow, so we will be getting an issue of Planetary this year! Yay! And since it’s already written, there’s no chance for a delay, right?
