DC Universe Infinite Launch Date and Details Revealed

DC is launching their new premium digital comic book service and community this week in DC Universe Infinite, and we now know even more about what fans can expect when they first open the app. DC Universe Infinite will launch on Thursday, January 21st, and will feature over 25,000 comics and graphic novels, including selections from Vertigo, DC Black Label, and Milestone Media. In addition to new releases six months after they launch in stores, it will feature Digital First titles three months after launch as well as new series exclusive to the service and exclusive access to DC fan events.

The service has a newly designed app with a better and smoother comic reading experience and new personalization features, and you need to do is log in to DC Universe and your account will transfer to DC Universe Infinite.

"This is just the beginning of DC UNIVERSE INFINITE's transformation," explained Pam Lifford, President of Global Brands and Experiences at Warner Bros.
