The comic book news continues to come fast today.  DC Comics has announced, via its DC Source blog, that Justice League 1, by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee, will be released in a new “combo pack” format.

Each print edition of the “combo pack” comic book and an individual code for digital download will be wrapped in a poly bag and available for $4.99.

DC will also retail a standard print version for $3.99 and a digital version for $3.99.

“As we continue to expand our readership and make our titles more accessible to readers everywhere, we’re excited to provide our comic shop retail partners and their consumers with multiple formats of JUSTICE LEAGUE in one convenient place,” said John Rood, EVP Sales, Marketing and Business Development, at the Source.

DC Comics announced that digital and print editions will be priced the same for the first four weeks; after that, digital titles will drop to $1.99.  Oversized titles will start at $3.99 and drop to $2.99 after four weeks.  The combo pack plan on “Justice League” will continue along with the series, according to the blog.
