DC Launches Fresh Lineup of Comics Optimized for Mobile Screens
DC Unleashes DC GO!, a * fresh wave * of digital comics exclusive to the DC Universe Infinite app, DC's very own digital subscription service.
Get ready for a mix of original content, along with classic DC and MAD Magazine comics, all tailored for a seamless mobile reading experience. DC GO! aims to offer fun-packed, engaging comics that you can devour on the go!
According to DC general manager, Anne DePies, "We've got some killer titles lined up for DC GO!. Our readers can expect some fantastic comics that cater to a wide range of tastes – from intense dramas to zany comedies. So whether you're a drama queen or a full-on comedy nerd, there's something for everyone!"
Three kick-ass titles kick off the DC GO! collection:
- Harley Quinn: Island Fling, penned by CRC Payne (Batman: Wayne Family Adventures), with artistic wonders Siobhan Chiffon and Cathy Le (Archie Comics: Big Ethel Energy). Follow Dr. Harleen Quinzel as she embarks on a wild reality TV adventure, vying for love and fame in the shark-infested world of reality television. Harley is determined to outshine every other contestant and win the ultimate prize by whatever means necessary.
- Nightwing: The Ass Model, written by Patrick R. Young (Red Hood: Outlaws), with incredible artwork by Moy R. Marco (West Coast Avengers). This time, Dick Grayson takes the catwalk by storm, undercover as a world-famous model. But his eyes are set on a prize far more valuable than fashion accolades – the Poison Ivy protegé, who's got a penchant for jewels, the environment, and uprooting her rivals.
- Raven's Timeless Adventure, penned by Sina Grace, Nico Bascuñan, Katherine Lobo, and Carola Borelli. When Raven is transported to a mystical realm hundreds of years in the past, she must navigate a world of witches and challenging choices, deciding whether to help those in need or return home.
And because everyone deserves a little extra reading material, DC promises that a DCUI subscription will also grant you access to re-formatted editions of Batman: Hush, All-Star Superman, and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, plus more! Free previews of Harley Quinn: Island Fling and Nightwing: The Ass Model are ready for your perusal at this link.
