Nothing screams a new era for a comics company quite like dropping “comics” from the name.
DC has officially dropped “comics” from its website URL. (Formerly “dccomics.com,” it’s now simply “dc.com.”) The company also shifted its branding on social media. While the official handles still include “comics” – at least for now – the display name across platforms has been updated from “DC Comics” to simply “DC.”
The changes reflect the growing DC brand, and its media beyond traditional comic books. For instance, the DC home page at the time of publishing highlights the upcoming Black Adam film, the DC League of Super Pets film, and The Sandman series coming to Netflix this week.
“DC.com is a celebration of everything across the DC Multiverse and we couldn’t be more excited for today’s launch,” said DC GM/SVP Anne DePies. “We are doubling down on DC’s digital ecosystem and there has never been a better time to be a DC fan and with this one stop shop, we’re bringing everything together in one place to easily access and celebrate your fandom.”
The newly revamped DC.com will feature weekly drops of new video content, editorial deep dives, fan discussions, digital experiences, and more. The update also syncs DC.com with the company’s online comics subscription, DC Universe Infinite, allowing users to maintain one account across both platforms.

DC is also currently working on new content and features for its DC Community Hub housed on the website. The site will soon unveil a live chat feature to connect fans in real time. You can also tune in for regularly scheduled content, including:
