I understand that this is not an ideal time to start
service during a pandemic. But service is started for eight months, you have
remove geoblocking. DC has bad times now also because of delaying a lot of
titles due shortages in paper supply, issues with workforce and port closures.
But this is the reason why to focus on digital market. And DCUI is a way how to
receive a lot of international subscriptions in a short time.
About two weeks ago there was some light in the
tunnel. For two or three days we had main page available with some important
non-functions as comics not readable, payments not working, even communities
were not accessible. And after this test we have black “coming soon” site again
when we click on every DCUI link. This site (which you see in the picture) is
my most hated site during this year - and believe me, I had a lot of
discussions with antivaxers about articles on very strange sites.
One week ago DC published a trailer for the second DC
fandome event. Since then they have been posting on their twitter site
announcements about free comics readable at DCUI till Fandome. International
fans have to go to dcfandom.com where they can read some of them. So when the
first volume of Sandman is there in all eight issues, from the first volume of
New Teen Titans we can read only the first issue.
The Second Fandome or date of publishing the
international anthology “Batman:The World” (which is going straight to DCUI)
seems like a good date for announcing the global launch of DCUI. But this international-like
promotion of Fandome is a little bit sad for non-US fans.
