Industry-Leading Graphic Novel and Comic Publisher to offer 100 Digital Books Exclusively to Kindle Customers
BURBANK, Calif., Sept. 29, 2011- DC Entertainment, the first publisher to offer more than fifty comic book titles on the same day in digital and print, is now taking the world of digital books by storm. The comic book giant has worked with Amazon to bring 100 of its original graphic novels exclusively to Amazon’s newly announced Kindle Fire, including best-selling graphic novels WATCHMEN, BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY and SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE, which are available for the first time digitally.
“We’re thrilled to work with the leader in digital books to bring many of the world’s most beloved and best-selling graphic novels to Kindle readers,” stated Jim Lee, co-publisher of DC Entertainment. “We’ve learned from the success of DC Comics – The New 52 that making our graphic novels available whenever and wherever our readers want is critical to the future growth and health of our publishing businesses–both in print and digital format.”
“We’re excited that DC Entertainment has made 100 of their graphic novels available for customers to read exclusively on our just-announced Kindle Fire,” said Russ Grandinetti, Vice President, Kindle Content. “Some of these graphic novels, including ‘Watchmen,’ the bestselling — and considered by many to be the greatest — graphic novel of all time, have never been available before in digital format, and we think customers will love them.”
DC Entertainment graphic novels will be available to Kindle Fire customers. WATCHMEN and SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE are available for pre-order now in the Kindle Store (www.amazon.com/kindlestore) and readers can soon purchase other DC Entertainment graphic novels.
The following 100 DC Entertainment titles will be available in the Kindle Store, with more titles to be added in the near future.

Like you needed another reason to buy Arkham City, Comics Alliance gives you one:
In what is plainly the best possible news we will report for the rest of 2011, Rocksteady and Warner Bros. have confirmed that players of Batman: Arkham City will have a variety of looks to choose from as they pursue the Dark Knight’s mission to stop the madness in the highly anticipated sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum. The game developers have created playable character skins based on Batman Beyond, The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: Earth One (the yet to be released Geoff Johns & Gary Frank graphic novel), Batman: The Animated Series and a classic “1970s Batman” in the style of Neal Adams.

The different versions of Batman are available in different editions of the game, depending upon where you buy them. Unfortunately, information has only been released for games sold in the United Kingdom, but we will update you with all the North American details as soon as they become available.

Nerdology just gave me a reason to order HBO:
Trailer for the HBO documentary series ‘Superheroes’
Whoa. ‘If regular people can do this why can’t I?” I just got really excited for this series.
And so did I! Even is this is kind of like a real life version of our series Unemployed Sidekick…
If it’s like Stan lees super humans show or whatever it’s called. It will be a wate of money and time
