DC Rebirth starts in just a few months! The events of Rebirth begin in the DC special, DC Rebirth #1 (Out May 25th), which is a spectacular 80 page book with a price tag of $2.99, but, that’s not the best news! DC Comics has made the promise that all Rebirth books will a whopping $2.99 and most titles will also ship twice monthly. With the sticker price of $2.99 and shipping twice monthly this means you’ll be getting two books for the price of one Marvel or Image book, which is a fairly interesting marketing strategy.
