DC has released its graphic novel schedule into February 2014, and it's a huge list of 147 books. The whole list is below, with Vertigo first and then the DCU.

Holy licensing deal, Batman! It seems that the campy, kitschy 1966 version of Batman—which was long verboten to be mentioned at DC and WB in general due to it's campy, kitschy nature. But as many noted, a line of toys based on the show was introduced at Toy Fair, and now we see that a whole line of merchandise, including a digital-first comic -- is coming.

As DC keeps clowning around and pushing hard to single-handedly choke the concept of irony to death by summer, the company's average and total sales figures for new comic books performed solidly in the month of February. After hiring Bob Harras, hiring Rob Liefeld, hiring every writer and artist who worked at Marvel in 1999, releasing a Green Lantern title especially for kids, releasing more Watchmen comics several of which written by J. Michael Straczynski, making a habit of hiring, promoting, then firing creative personnel on all kinds of titles every month, releasing Before Watchmen: Dollar Bill, hiring a raging homophobe to write Superman and announcing "WTF month," in February 2013 DC released Justice League of America #1, a new high-profile Geoff Johns vehicle promoted with not one, not three, not 12, but 54 different cover choices, thus making it something like the lynchpin of gimmick-driven market gaming. I mean, the plastic-ring thing from a couple of years back was a fair stab, but this one is bolder.

Theater fans and Superman fans have some fun in store for them this week when the Encore production of It's a Bird, It's Plane...It's Superman hits the stage with Edward Watts as Clark/Superman, Jenny Power as Lois Lane and Alli Mauzey as Sydney Carlton. Originally produced in 1966 with music and lyrics by Charles Strause and Lee Adams and book by David Newman and Robert Benton, it's definitely a retro view of Superman -- he's dating Lois for one thing -- but if you like the most iconic view of the Man of Steel, this fits the bill. Plus - show tunes.

Between "Death of the Family," "Throne of Atlantis" and "Rise of the Third Army," any DC title selling 60,000 units or more in January took part in one of the three current major crossovers, which means all 10 of the company's Top 25 books. In other words: Scott Snyder and Geoff Johns are running the DC Universe right now -- and not much that's not within their reach is working all that well.
