DC Universe Streaming Service Will Become Universe Infinite Comics Platform

DC Universe, which started out as a streaming service for original DC superhero content, will in January become DC Universe Infinite, a supersized subscription service for DC Comics. CNET reports: The service launches on Jan. 21 for $7.99 per month, or $74.99 for a year-long subscription. DC says that subscribers will be able to read 24,000 comic book titles at launch, along with digital-first titles and access to exclusive fan events. Recently released titles featuring Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and other DC mainstays will make their way onto the platform in digital format six months after the physical copies arrive in stores. Those who subscribe during the initial preorder run will receive a $10 voucher to the DC Shop on Feb. 1 -- and make that $25 if you lock in a year-long subscription.

The move comes as DC nestles in with HBO, with original DC programming making a home on the HBO Max streaming service. A third season of the Harley Quinn animated series starring Kaley Cuoco was just announced for the platform earlier today, with all seasons of the show now sitting as an HBO exclusive. [...] To that end, DC is extending its offer for DC Universe subscribers to add HBO Max membership for $4.99 per month. Fans can jump on that deal through the end of October.

So many streaming services..

So there is really no way all of them will have enough customers in the long run, though I guess this one might have a dedicated customer base, though I doubt t it will be a huge one.

Gees, fellah, you rotate your subscriptions except of course ESPN, who gives a crap about a bunch of jock stap douche bags playing like children, once you are no longer exposed to the saturation advertising and what kind of heroes (hero, only one kind, they risk their life to save other people's lives, that is the only way to be a hero, sporting heroes are pure bullshit advertising, watch those "in not lying, it's acting" shite heads promote crap products, especially targeting children) they are.

So this change is actually helping by removing one of the streaming choices.

Issue Number One

Well, so much for owning a rare issue number 1, finding it tucked away in a box in the attic, and selling it for a million bucks.

There will still be a market for back issues. The scans they made are not perfect, the colours are often way off. Purists will still want the real thing.
