Sweet Shop, the newest digital comics marketplace, launches to the public today with new additions to its publisher line up including Kodansha, Titan, Dynamite, and Abrams Comics Arts.
A few months back, DC started its rebirth by announcing they were revamping some classic Hanna Barbera characters for the new millennium.
