Did Anyone Else Notice DC Basically Giving Us Extra Comics?

For the most part, I usually write content related to the Marvel beat of this lovely publication. However, DC is doing something fun and interesting in their books, and I’m a little surprised there hasn’t been more discussion on the matter. I was catching up on the latest from Batman; however, when it got to what I perceived to be the end, it picked up with a fun story in the Bat-universe that centers around the mysterious Ghost-Maker basically being thrown on an island to beat up everything that moves. Now, the argument could be made that there’s already too much investment in Gotham related stories and characters on DC’s part, but that’s really another argument. Then, I started catching up on Justice League and ended up reading a side story about the Justice League Dark and the rise of umm….evil Merlin (or something). Now, this isn’t really new in the larger scheme of things. I remember when the animated feature Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths was released on video some years ago, there was a short film about the Spectre’s origin and it was pretty good. When DC did it with the Future State books a few months ago, it was a good idea then, too, when you have so many stories in a single event. But now, it seems like this is a very timely move.
