everything old is new again

Well, it's not exactly comics as I remember them, but DC's new 12-part weekly Wednesday Comics launched today, and it's an impressive, if unusual collection.

15 series in 16 tabloid-size pages; one page per serial installment, featuring a range of characters and creators that make it hard to pass up (even at over $7 an issue!) The series is designed to hark back to the days when comics appeared in Sunday newspaper supplements (hence Wednesday Comics, as that's the day of the week that new comics are now published each week), and is printed on news stock, or something similar to it. It's an interesting experiment, and I'll likely check out at least the next issue or two.
