^some superb but Red Robin with feathers... wtf.

Well, robins have feathers, so...

Anyone know if these are going to be available 'day and date' via the iPad/iPhone app in the UK, or just the States?

I'm sure we'll have same day global releases. The sneak peak comics with Flashpoint previews have been made available on the same day here as in the States as far as I can tell. I subscribe to a couple of e versions of American magazines and we get them on the same day.

And under the Digital heading (in part, as well):

* Why are you going to same-day digital if digital is just "dental floss"?

To recall the analogy, same-day digital is dental floss compared to a sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper representing brick-and-mortar (i.e. over 95% of our business now and in the foreseeable future). Our goal is to expand both the size of the paper and the floss.

We believe the excitement we build through our marketing and promotional campaign benefits greatly from having immediate access to our content from every kind of reader. This exposure will benefit the sheet of paper more than the dental floss, so to speak.

For decades, the industry has bemoaned the fact we are not striving to bring in new readers. We feel day and date will bring the level of online chatter and excitement about storylines and books to new highs and having same-day digital titles will allow every kind of fan to participate in that excitement. In the end, more readers of comics whether in print or digital benefits the entire industry.

* What time will same-day digital releases go on sale? Will they be available to consumers before my store opens?

We are working with ComiXology to change our "go live" time each Wednesday to 2:00pm ET/11:00am PT. We expect to be able to make this adjustment prior to the 8/31 in-store date for Justice League #1 with ComiXology and the DC App. Apple sets their own release times for the iTunes stores, as does Sony for their PlayStation Network.

* When comics are delayed due to snow and ice/road conditions, will the release of the same-day digital titles also be delayed? If not, will all of my purchases that week be returnable since DC Entertainment was unable to maintain the same day digital schedule?

If the delay is system-wide, for example if no comics were shipped out on the scheduled day from our printer to Diamond, we would attempt to delay the digital release to match. If the delay is regional, we would not have a way to delay digital releases for only one region of the country.

* When comics have a scheduled delay due to holiday shipping delays, and DC Entertainment and/or Diamond announce that Thursday will be the in-store day, will the release of the same-day digital titles also be delayed?

Yes.

* Will the $4.99 JUSTICE LEAGUE polybagged combo have the same cover as the standard edition or will it have a variant cover?

The cover on the polybagged Justice League will feature the same art as the standard edition, however it will have a different color scheme and a color burst calling out the digital code inside.

* Is the $4.99 JUSTICE LEAGUE polybagged combo pack only for JUSTICE LEAGUE #1, or will this continue to be offered each month?

Each month.

* Is DC Entertainment going to offer the polybagged digital combo option on any titles other than JUSTICE LEAGUE?

We are only rolling this out on JUSTICE LEAGUE for now.

* Are the print and digital the same price?

Yes, for the first 4 weeks, a $2.99 print comic will be a $2.99 digital comic. After 4 weeks, the digital price will drop to $1.99. Following that pattern, for the first 4 weeks, a $3.99 print comic will be a $3.99 digital comic. After 4 weeks, the digital price will drop to $2.99.

So their marketing strategy for their new digital product is to charge more for it for the first month than they intend to later. Yes, I'm sure that will have people desperate to buy it...

more cover variants and gimmicks like the ones that drove people crazy in the 90s and a range of superhero titles that fans were not interested in back in the days when comics were actually good.

It just means back issues are cheaper than the current one.

Have there been any polls to suggest which are the most anticipated of the new comic lines?

methinks this might be what you're after:

if so then boy do I rock

Yep, that'll do nicely! Embarrassingly I'm a member of that site but I only post occasionally. Action Comics, Justice League, Batman & Green Lantern look like the ones most people are waiting for. I, Vampire & Omac, Sgt Roc, Voodoo and Batwing look unwanted. I don't know about any of those, not even Batwing!!

Batwing iiuc = black batman

something I think is a missed opportunity is that DC should be offering all these #1 issues below their standard $2.99. Maybe people would be more inclined to give a couple of the "huh wtf is this" lines a try if they didn't have to fork out full price.

As things are now I'm looking at buying ~10 #1s. I'm hoping they all be part1 of a 3 part story, so I can give each a complete story before deciding yay/nah re: following them any longer.

Well that's the plan, but unless Batman and Detective Comics do something truley icky they'll remain on my constant buy list (having been there for 10+ years it'd be a shame to stop now, even with the number change travesty),

And I'm kinda interested to see how Superman is rebooted even though I've never been a fan of his comics (apart from the Superman+Batman line... soon to die )
Also though I despise/dispise Damien with a passion I'm getting B+R #1 just to get a fuller "lay of the land" with the whole Bat-Family.

I'm off to stock up my paypal account in preparation

It does look like there's too many lines especially as they're not launching cheap. I'll be buying digitally so I'll check out the sneak previews and see what looks best.

^ a better page showing poll results for "Which of these titles do you anticipate trying in September?"

-> just Batman related but interesting nontheless

All the non-Earth 1 characters (Power Girl, JSA, Marvel family etc) appear to have been removed. Do they no longer exist or have they been moved back to their respective parallel Earths?

Interesting question. One DC haven't commented on. It will be interesting to see what happens to the 52 Earths.

I for one would love to see the JSA and Power Girl, Huntress etc. back on Earth 2.

I loved the annual JSA/JLA crossover events. Missed it when they all merged onto a single earth. Maybe Flashpoint will do exactly what you've suggested and put the multiverse back in place.
