This Thursday, January 21st, DC launches DC Universe Infinite, a premium digital comic book service and community. With over 25,000 comic books and graphic novels available at launch, the platform will also feature new comic releases six months after their in-store releases, while exclusives are also planned.
While this service will initially be U.S.-only, there are plans for a global launch later in 2021.
"This is just the beginning of DC Universe Infinite's transformation," explains Pam Lifford, President of Global Brands and Experiences at Warner Bros. "Our fans will have access to a rich collection of their favorite comic books and publishing while connecting with a community that loves the same DC characters and brands."
Those of you with a DC Universe subscription will be able to use your existing login details for DC Universe Infinite, while HBO Max will become the home for upcoming DC TV shows and movies like Doom Patrol, Zack Snyder's Justice League, Titans, and Stargirl.
It sounds like there will be other perks, including free portals - one of which will be based at community.dcuniverseinfinite.com - that include everything from trivia challenges to book clubs. DC is also promising an overhauled DC Shop at shop.dccomics.com; that's going to include a wide assortment of gear and collectibles, including exclusive, limited-edition products dropping regularly.
Among the titles coming to DC Universe Infinite are Preacher, Batman: Damned, Superman: Year One, Joker, V For Vendetta, Dark Knights: Death Metal, Lucifer, and more.
