Detective Comics #19 priced at $7.99; Celebrates 900th issue of DC?

DC Comics won't be reverting back to their old numbering system anytime soon after launching "The New 52" universe, but they're doing something close to that to commemorate the upcoming "milestone" that would have been the 900th issue of Detective Comics.

Coming off their solicitations for the month of April, Detective Comics #19 is slated to be written by John Layman, with art by John Fabok and backup story art by Andy Clarke. The issue goes on sale by April 3, and is going to be priced at $7.99!

One cool variant cover to Batman: The Dark Knight #1!

DC Comics has released some pretty neat variant covers to some of their upcoming books, and they're all featured over at their blog The Source. The one cover that caught my eye though, is the variant to the David Finch written and drawn first issue of "Batman: The Dark Knight", which is provided by artist Andy Clarke.

Impressive is the word I'd use for this cover, and it's one of the better covers I've seen with Bruce Wayne in his new Batman costume, running down to face crime and evil head on! For more variant covers of other DC titles plus the Black and White variant to this issue, check out The Source!
