DC's at it Again!

I'm sure you've all heard me say it before, about how no matter what type of story you want to tell, DC has a place for it. Well now they are adding another new imprint to their stable, the Minx line. Minx will be targeted to young girls in their teens, much as most of the DCU is targeted towards teen boys. Instead of a regular comic format, these will be OGN's slightly larger then regular manga size, and are going to come in under ten bucks. Think of something like "My Faith in Frankie" if you've seen it. Which was written by Lucifer scribe Mike Carey, also purported to be writing for the new line. Karen Berger, Senior VP and Executive Editor, Vertigo, will be heading up the imprint with fellow Vertigo alum Shelly Bond. Berger, one of the top editors in the industry, is responsible for us getting such books as Alan Moore's Swamp Thing, Hellblazer, Sandman, Preacher, Transmetropolitan, Y the Last Man, and the Vertigo imprint itself. Interesting side note, if Vertigo was it's own publishing company, they would be the fourth largest American comic publisher, behind Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse. The accompanying panel is from The P.L.A.I.N. Janes, the lead off book set to come out in May of 2007. While I may not be the target audience, I can't wait to see how this all turns out. C ya!
