A) Why have I heard nothing about this, and B) like above, is this part of the DCnU proper?

"The book was originally intended to come from Wildstorm, DC’s division run by super-star artist Jim Lee. When Lee became co-publisher of DC and the arm shuttered, many of the division's projects fell through the cracks. Lee, however, liked Insurgent enough to make sure it got published.

“It exists on its own and we feel really fortunate that DC gave us the freedom to do what was best to drive the story and characters,” said DeSanto. “If anything, it fits more in the new world of DC Entertainment, emphasis on the “E”."

I like the artwork. It reminds me a lot of Sorrentino...

Why would it even matter after New52? This is exactly what the company should be doing and more of. Iconic titles,on the other hand, the less there are the better.Of course the hardcore DC fans won't bother to support this anyway.Is DCE the new Wildstorm or better?

Hey guys. I'm FJ DeSanto and im one of the writers/creators. Hope you all like the book, we're really proud of it and Fed's artwork is so good (and gets even better with each issue). The story takes a lot of twists and turns over the six issues so I hope you stick with it. It's not set in the DCU and when the story finishes you'll see exactly why. There's going to be an article about the book on CBR soon so you'll learn more about it. If you like it please spread the word and hopefully DC will take more chances on original books. Thanks!
