I have explained before that, for whatever reason, we do not get DC Comics press releases and news. I have contacted them numerous times without a response. Many fans are unimpressed (to say the least) with the direction of the company under DiDio, but with the exception of Green Arrow, I don't keep up with DC characters or Universe.
DC does not bother with continuity. Some people like this and others do not, but DC has never bothered with continuity, so it can be said that that is more their "approach" than their failing. Still, I personally do not like it because there is no character growth or development and no real change. Even when there is, you are never certain if it really happened or if it is some kind of dream or "alternate universe" or etc., etc.
At any rate, I came across this story on MTV, about a new 6-issue mini-series pitting Batman and Superman against an alternate world filled with vampires and werewolves. The article tells the story of how DC changed a clever title into a dumbed-down fist, but includes some preview art and a little more discussion on the story.
Should anyone from DC comes across this post, we would love to receive press on your projects and upcoming features. Maybe individual creators would be interested in forwarding us information on what they are working on? At this time, the only reason we do not cover them more often is because I don't follow their comics or characters and we do not receive PRs directly.
