DC GO! Launches November 20th: New Mobile Comics Platform!

DC GO!: A New Era of Comics on Your Mobile Device!

DC GO!: Launching a New Frontier in Mobile Comics

DC Comics is shaking things up! They just announced DC GO!, a brand-new mobile webcomics platform, launching November 20, 2024. This isn’t just some random collection of old comics. This is a serious attempt to reinvent how we read superhero tales. We’re talking new, original stories, alongside classic DC epics all optimized for your phone or tablet. It also signals a much deeper interest in appealing to newer generations of readers.

DC is calling this "a new frontier of webcomics." It is accessible through the DC Universe Infinite platform. This new and very innovative project is expected to be quite extensive; it already has many exciting details including that highly interesting selection of already planned titles which promises a wider reach for various kinds of superhero narratives – adding multiple sub-genres such as comedy, drama, romance, fantasy and those more popular thriller genres to appeal to existing as well as newer fanbase readers!

DC GO! is starting strong, delivering three brand-new, original series, all launching on the same day! These stories alone generate a huge amount of expectation from both existing fans, but those who only encountered this brand from movies! Get excited for:

Harley Quinn in Paradise: A romantic comedy with Harley "competing for love in all the wrong places." The already anticipated humour alone showcases just why this alone should generate great interest.
Nothing Butt Nightwing: Nightwing, the hugely popular superhero; one which many might just only know from films; highlighting his already established character. This alone already makes a potentially huge amount of potential audience members eager for a chance to encounter these newer stories, many of which are tailored specifically for existing as well as for future audience consumption.
Renaissance of Raven: A sword-and-sorcery quest; taking Raven into exciting, new adventures in this totally brand new universe; bringing a high fantasy component that might appeal more to readers who typically would not normally read these particular types of narratives! This shows a wider attempt to acquire new readers outside the pre-existing audience base, increasing this mobile application’s target fanbase!

But that’s not all! They're also adapting classic tales. The legendary Batman: Hush storyline will be available here; accessible to modern readers in this new format.

Anne DePies (DC General Manager), mentions it best: “DC has the largest library of Comics on the planet, going back nearly 90 years, and with the addition of DC GO! to DC UNIVERSE INFINITE there’s now a new collection of webcomics for fans to read. Our goal with the DC GO! collection is to create fun, compelling, reader-friendly, mobile DC stories that readers will enjoy on the go.” This is made even more intriguing by considering this statement was not simply aimed toward those existing readers!

DC isn't just putting comics on phones. It's investing in the future of comics reading, by catering to different tastes. Katie Kubert (Global Publishing Innovation's group editor) explains: “The DC GO! original comics are brand-new, weekly stories for mobile readers, with the launch titles told by seasoned, fan-favorite creators. The first three DC GO! launch stories can only be found on DCUI on November 20th, starring Nightwing, Raven, and Harley Quinn, and will feature fun DC cameos and new characters. We know fans love webcomics like Batman: Wayne Family Adventures, so the titles launching in the new DC GO! collection were created to appeal to readers of specific genres – drama, fantasy, comedy, mystery, action, romance, slice-of-life, and more – so that there’s a type of story for everyone to enjoy.” And it's easy to see why she is making this emphasis; she fully recognized just how incredibly diverse their entire production approach is going to be. The choice made emphasizes what has been considered a "missing market segment" in recent years.

Those older titles available will not merely attract many long-term fans but help to entice other individuals not already actively seeking out older comics, adding even more diversity among audience members.

More titles and stories are planned post-launch! DC’s aim is incredibly ambitious: Make DC GO! the top spot for mobile comic readers everywhere.
