During a virtual presentation to comic book store owners on Friday at the annual ComicsPRO retailer event, DC Vice President of Sales and Revenue Nancy Spears name-dropped several upcoming comic book projects as part of a discussion of an expanded variant cover program. The titles range from the obvious there s a

It s a bird! It s a plane! It s a DC Universe roundup!
