How do comics companies not realize that double shipping is never a good idea?

Yeah, DC double shipping like half their books is easily one of the dumbest decisions I can think of and will probably keep me from checking out some books I might have otherwise.

It will be every one issue, as most of the double shipping books are alternating artists from the get go.

If you haven't heard, the double shipping comics all have pairs of artists who are either doing alternating arcs every issue (Wonder Woman) or in whole chunks (The way this interview makes Batman sound.)

Also, Tom King is only doing one mainline comic instead of the two he was, which is a little bit of a bummer.

Whole chunks isn't so bad, really. Every issue is really jarring though, depending on who the two artists are.

I like the sound of the Wonder Woman deal where every even issue is set in the past.
e: It'll be like if Batman Zero Year had contemporary issues coming out from Snyder at the same time.

What I don't like is that it's delaying Black Magick (Rucka and Nicola Scott's Image comic) for a year.

Wonder Woman is having two different arcs running in parallel, so one artist doing one story on the odd issues, and Nicola Scott doing the even issues as Wonder Woman: Year One.

I don't have a problem with double shipping because the books are either good and worth the money or bad and you drop them. I do have sympathy with comic shops that have a harder time adjusting their orders with books coming out twice as often.

Right, of all the problems with it the consumers paying twice as much and getting twice as much content is not an issue, at least not to me. What sucks is the doubled demand on store shelves and the doubled pressure on artists to crank out work that inevitably suffers. Delays hurt more too.

I wanna hear if anyone's subscription orders have come in for just odd or even comics. That'd be fun to work out. Rhyno?

I like the Supergirl costume except for the weird shoulder part of the cape. Looks even more movement restricting than we normally get from superhero costumes.

Not really. I was hoping a change of direction in both Batman and GL but it didn't happen. I will still check around to see if there's a book that catches my eye of course.

First I haven't been impressed by any of King's previous DC work and mostly a very different direction to the one Snyder gave the title these past few years. But going by interviews and the previews released so far, while not exactly the same, King is following Snyder's footsteps.

Also, Detective sounds like Eternal Part 3 and both Eternals were utter garbage.
