Part 8/11:
The report underscores that sales figures are opaque or declining, especially as DC no longer relies solely on traditional distributors like Diamond. Many staff members, including senior editors and executives, are leaving in rapid succession, hinting at a "bloodbath" reminiscent of past layoffs during industry downturns.
Some speculate that DC's financial health is dire, compounded by Warner Bros. Discovery's broader corporate struggles. Recent rumors suggest that Warner is aggressively selling off assets—such as Crunchyroll and Rooster Teeth—and may be contemplating selling or shuttering DC altogether. Such a move would mark a catastrophic collapse for the publisher, potentially drowning it under the weight of internal chaos and external market pressures.
