Instead, those new comics that were supposed to be released Wednesday, April 1 are getting pushed back four weeks to Apr. 29.

DC will only be releasing collections and the digital-first line digitally on Apr. 1.

DC’s original plan was to release some new comics digitally, but due to retailer backlash, DC Comics changed its approach.
