Why would DC decide that it needs to be reprinted under a black label. Why create a black label?

Yes that's what I was saying exactly. I didn't actually think it would be printed in black ink label lol

I think they are planning on cashing in on the TPB issues....

Winner!

Exactly. I think this whole thing was a marketing ploy all along. They knew about the wang. They knew they would "censor" it. They knew they would announce to not "reprint" it. I mean it was already 110k printing. They wanted the buzz and they got it. Issue 2 and TPB will get the benefits as well.

But they've also all but guaranteed that they sell no more than 110k of number 2 and 3. People will be reluctant to buy those issues when they don't even have a later printing of 1.

Ignoring for the moment that there tends to be a dropoff in sales after number one, I imagine there are a lot of people who believe they will still be able to snag a copy of the first issue on the aftermarket, if they're the type of buyers that buy to collect. If they're buying just to read, it's usually cheaper to trade-wait anyway

We shall see. But I believe they will sell a lot more than 110K for both issues 2 and 3 and wait for the TPB to read part 1. The controversy of Damned 1 is already creating FOMO pulling in more readers and speculators.

As far as I know, the first title that was to be printed under the "Black Label" was Batman White Knight.  

Yes and no.  At the time White Knight came out, it wasn’t a Black Label title, but DC decided over the summer to include it in the Black Label family.

Actually, I think it was the second... the Batman: White Knight Special Edition giveaway was printed under the Black Label, and I believe it came out a week or two earlier.

Good call, I wasn't sure but I thought that Damned was the first official release. But I could 100% be wrong about that.

Confusion, more confusion, poor commitment to a new launch, terrible communication, lack of strategic coherency, big changes for strange reasons....did I mention confusion?  Yep....and people wonder why their movie franchise smells like hot garbage.  

The fact that even a group of dedicated readers/dealers/fans like you have in this thread were confused by the "launch" definitely indicates that they weren't successful in getting their point across. Now imagine how a casual reader at the comic shop feels? Bravo, DC!

Congrats on the sale. That's one I would never be able to wrap my head around.

Thanks, I found 2 copies at Terrific Con for $15 each...both came back 9.8  I didn't know what to price it at, a 9.4 went for $309 on GPA, So I figured a 9.8 was at least a grand, sold for $1200 4 hours after it was listed.  Buyer paid too.

I like a lot of DC titles...but their movie franchise is horribly disjointed from their print media.  Here's to hoping the Titans movie is watchable!

The Titans movie looks like 2018's version of BATMAN FOREVER...

Again, good to hear. Ive subbed so many books, I had gotten discouraged by it that so many came back 9.8, but none higher.

Thanks.

For 2018, I have submitted 352 books.  Here are the grades I received:

CGC 9.9 = 4
CGC 9.8 = 270
CGC 9.6 = 61
CGC 9.4 = 11
CGC 9.2 = 5
CGC 8.5 = 1
