Before Sweet Tooth show premieres, Sweet Tooth comics added to DCUI. 
Before DMZ show premieres, DMZ comics added to DCUI.
Before Y: The Last Man show premieres, Y: The Last Man comics added to DCUI.
Before Fables comics relaunch, Fables comics added to DCUI.
Before Sandman show premieres… no (more) Sandman comics added to DCUI. 
You might want to take that up with Neil’s contract.
The first 8 issues are up. Surely the rest of the series is fair game…?
Go ask somebody why the first hit is for free.
It was addressed in OH. Just because the series isn’t added 1st thing in the morning, doesn’t mean for certain that it’s not actually coming!
Actually, the complete series has been digitized for about ten years now— I own digital copies of the two volume set…
Oh, I’m hopeful that the rest of the issues will still be added at some point, and I did see the posts where you guys said that you were working on it. It’s just that in the other cases that I mentioned, those issues went up before or on the day that the series adaptations (or continuation, in the case of Fables) debuted. Clearly something different happened here this time with Sandman.
I have been chasing trying to get caught up on all the DC books for months now but it’s a fools errand! I read 20 books a week and y’all drop 21 books on here on August 2nd! The water is coming into the boat faster than I can bail it out!
So I’m starting clean(ish) this month and I’m going to try and read each book that’s posted each week (plus some more books from the past as I get ready for Dark Crisis to start on here in December!). If I can do that each week then a year from now I’ll have read every book DCUI posted in the last 365 days and will consider myself a well-read and well-rounded DC fan.
I can’t wait to peep that ‘Harley Quinn: The Animated Series - The Real Sidekicks of New Gotham Special’. I love that show, loved the comic that followed Season Two and can’t wait to get more of these characters and world.
A very close second for the book I’m most excited to read is ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ #8. That has been the definitive tale of Supergirl for me and has been so compelling and well written. Can’t wait to see how that wraps up and if they stick the landing.
The archival releases are interesting and I am excited for Gen 13 amongst the other WS titles. More archival comics per week is better for everyone, even if they aren’t books that they are excited about. I think @HubCityQuestion said something along the lines that every comic book is someone’s favorite comic book and I think that is one of the greatest quotes about comics I have ever read.
I like those Showcase Presents books. So many comics in one place! One of my favorites I have is Men of War.
I thought that they were a great value for the price, too. Men of War was great because I hadn’t seen many of those issues available in collected editions before.
What happened to Stormwatch 15?
Glad to see the rest of Sandman drop. I’m already doing a re-read of Ex Machina, may have to make room.
I completely agree with you. I have been incredibly disappointed with the rate at which DC has been adding older digital comics to this platform since it started. Just by way of comparison, this is what is being added to Marvel Unlimited next week:
In addition to the “new” titles being added, Marvel is adding 49 issues of Daredevil volume 1. 49! That completes the first volume of Daredevil completely (except for one annual) digitally, so I can just go read Daredevil from his first appearance through now if I want to. I don’t think the same could be said of any major DC character.
I was waiting for new release thread for this week, so I’ll post it here…
I notice that Joker comic has more issues then the original back in the 70s. If you think about it, since Batman 1989 to Joker 2019, his popularity has really gone up, thanks to Jack Nicholson, Mark Hamill, Heath Ledger & Joaquin Phoenix. 
The argument could be made that Daredevil doesn’t go back to the 1940’s or early 50’s like the majort comic characters from DC. Although no denying that is a huge update.
Although I looked up previous weeks and while they seem to release multiple issues of a title in one week, seemed most weeks they didn’t release a lot more archival books than DCUI does. Is the Daredevil thing typical, because I mean, DCUI released all of Sandman (save the first story arc) in one drop, same with Fables.
Not trying to argue or be an appologist. Asking because I I don’t have Marvel Unlimited so am just wondering if that is actually typical or not?
Usually marvel will release a big batch of archival issues when they have a new trade out (usually an “Epic Collection” or an omnibus) of material that hasn’t been digitized before.
Seems like the average archival books every month from Marvel is about 30.
You’re right that Daredevil (nor most Marvel characters) didn’t debut in the 40s or 50s. Nevertheless, the first issue of Daredevil came out in 1964. Even so, with this week’s addition, you can read nearly sixty years worth of Daredevil straight through, without interruption. Ignoring whether it’s a complete run or not, I’m not sure that’s true of any DC character or series. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern–none of those characters’ series have a continuous sixty years worth of material on DCUI.
This Daredevil upload is admittedly the largest I’ve seen from Marvel in awhile. But, I went back and compared the uploads from both MU and DCUI for the prior six months. Here’s the breakdown:
I mean, those numbers are pretty crazy, honestly. In August and the six preceding months, Marvel uploaded 135 more new archive issues than DC. And, each week in which Marvel uploaded older books, it was almost uniformly multiple issues of one book, like this latest Daredevil drop. Multiple issues of Generation X, X-Factor, Dazzler, and Wolverine were also added (plus other titles, those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head). So, where we get ideally four issues of one title a month, spread out weekly, on DCUI, Marvel is dropping multiple issues of the same series in a week.
I get what you’re saying about Sandman and, before that, Fables, but I don’t really count those, honestly. The main reason for that is because they should have already been on here, as both titles have been digitized for YEARS. Sandman was available for free to read on Comixology Unlimited before DCUI came about, and I believe Fables was too. There is a mountain of content that is already digitized that could be added to DCUI and for some reason isn’t, especially when it comes to Vertigo titles. 100 Bullets, Transmetropolitan,The Invisibles, The Dreaming, Jack of Fables, and Shade the Changing Man have all been digitized for years, but none of them are on here. Again, that’s off the top of my head; check out the Digitized Comics Unavailable (or in Alternate Locations) on DC Universe Infinite: A Directory thread for more.
I don’t know. Maybe I’m being overly dramatic. I have just been frustrated with this service since the very beginning. The entire reason I wanted DCUI was to read DC’s back catalogue. But it’s practically impossible to read any older series because of large gaps within any given title. It bothers me we only get four to five issues a week. It bothers me that we generally get one issue of any given series a week, meaning that it could take years for some titles to be complete. It bothers me that titles start to get uploaded and then are abruptly cutoff before they’re finished. Why are books like H-E-R-O, Captain Carrot, Batman Confidential, Batman Family, DC Comics Presents, World Without End, Azrael: Agent of the Bat, The Batman Strikes, Justice League Unlimited, and Tiny Titans mostly uploaded, but then abandoned? Why did they upload all of the Milestone material, but skip the Worlds Collide one-shot? I don’t know, I just find things like this to be really frustrating. But, again, I admit that I may be expecting more than is reasonable. Who knows.
