Over on DC Universe: The Source Blog, DC put up pictures of people reading Wednesday Comics #1, and used the picture we used for the Staff Picks this week. Nice!

Everyone here is very excited for Wednesday Comics #1, and we’ve decided to extend our excitement to our customers. We’re offering the first issue risk-free with a money-back guarantee! If you don’t like it, bring the issue back with the receipt and we’ll give you a full refund. We’re convinced you’ll love the book, but if you needed another reason to pick it up, here it is. Where else will you find a line-up as amazing as:

-Neil Gaiman

-Lee Bermejo
-Kyle Baker
-Kurt Busiek
-Paul Pope

And the list goes on and on.

This book is printed newspaper-style, measuring at 14″ by 20″, folded twice. Each story is one page (4 pages folded comic style) and the book runs for 12 weeks.
