Again, AT&T, They don't see the comics as a money maker only as an IP farm for TV and Film and they have HBOMAX so DCU is redundant and to them, useless.

It also sucks so many people lost their jobs. I wonder if this is another step toward DC going digital for their comics. They already moved several over to digital only that they were cancelling to finish out their run.

From what I'm hearing around the internet, not that any of it is fact, is that DC Direct products will probably be good through the year as they are in production but after that it's all up in the air. I think the WB collectibles company might continue the really popular lines but quite a few will be cut and McFarlane is now doing the DC Action Figures so expect that to continue.

Agreed, Sure a lot of us Collect Sideshow, XM, Iron Studios and others that are more expensive but DC Direct was fantastic for smaller pieces at an awesome price. I was looking forward to their 1/10th scale Joker Artist line, I have the Bolland Joker on PO.
