Recently, The Comics Beat covered rumors that in 2016, DC would begin shipping certain titles from their line on a bi-weekly basis, effectively cribbing a tactic Marvel has been using to varying effect for years: double shipping. While getting two issues of Snyder/Capullo Batman or Palmiotti/Conner Harley Quinn may sound great in the abstract, there are rising concerns that the change may have an effect on series quality, forcing creators to either work double time or DC to bring in rotating artist/writer pairings. Worse yet, if DC is doubling down on their near century-old breadwinners, will they be forced to cut down on innovative new titles like Omega Men or Prez, which despite poor sales service a completely different audience from their main line? Are we entering a new comics recession?
