Hot on the heels of their announcement for day and date release for digital comics, DC hits us with more big news. For those of you that want to get your comics in digital form, for easy on the go reading, but still want to collect the physical copy for your collection you will be able to. When Justice League #1 by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee comes out on August 31st you will have two ways to buy it at your local comic shop. The first will be just the regular physical copy, which is an oversized issue that will sell for 3.99. The second will be a polybagged issue that will include a code for a digital copy of the book that will sell for 4.99.

John Rood, EVP Sales, Marketing and Business Development for DC is quoted as saying “As we continue to expand our readership and make our titles more accessible to readers everywhere, we’re excited to provide our comic shop retail partners and their consumers with multiple formats of JUSTICE LEAGUE in one convenient place.”

For the first four weeks the digital and physical copies of books will share the same price. After that the digital versions will drop down to 1.99 per book. Also announced on DC’s blog, The Source, we are told that after the first oversized issue the price will drop back down to the standard 2.99.
