DC made a number of announcements at the Diamond Retailer Summit this week, including a Wednesday Comics collection, a Jonah Hex OGN, and more Doc Savage and Spirit. 

The Wednesday Comics collection will offer all 12 issues of the newspaper strip series in an 11” x 17” hardcover, at $49.99.

To tie in to the Jonah Hex movie, DC will release Jonah Hex:  No Way Back, an original graphic novel by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti with art by Tony DeZuniga, in May (136 pages, $19.99).

The First Wave miniseries, written by Brian Azzarello with art by Rags Morales, will set the stage for a new gritty, noiristic world with Doc Savage, the Spirit, Batman, Black Canary, the Avenger, and other heroes.  Then later in 2010, DC will introduce ongoing series for The Spirit and Doc Savage, spinning out of the Batman/Doc Savage special and The First Wave. 

Vertigo announced two media tie-in repackagings (see “Vertigo Repackages for Media Tie-ins”).
