Wednesday Comics #1

In July, DC Comics gives a fresh twist to a grand comics tradition with WEDNESDAY COMICS, a new, weekly 12-issue series by some of the greatest names in comics today! WEDNESDAY COMICS is unique in modern comics history: Reinventing the classic weekly newspaper comics section, it is a 16-page weekly that unfolds to a sprawling 28' x 20' tabloid-sized reading experience bursting with mind-blowing color, action and excitement, with each feature on its own 14' x 20' page.
