DC Comics In Social Media: DC Launches A Blog

Late last week, DC Comics did the unthinkable: they took a bold step forward in social media and started a new blog, The Source.

I like it, and I’m probably one of the most vocal and rational critics of the way DC navigates the Internet.  It has good exclusive content, is updated regularly and doesn’t constantly indulge in the “READ THIS LINK” style of reportage that the publisher’s Twitter account consists of.  On top of that, it’s got a killer design.

It’s good to see DC taking some steps to connect directly with its base, and it looks like - maybe - taking their time was worth it.  I’ll be watching to see what kind of legs it has.
