Looking back at a tumultuous week of comics, particular where DC is concerned, I try and sort through the basics with the help of two new comics fans, arguably the fans of tomorrow who will help the business evolve and grow. What do they think about the entire situation, and where it may go from here? How do they feel about the changing market conditions, move to digital, and cancelation of titles they know?

Other names have been reported by various sources but due to conflicting reports and conflicting information available to Newsarama we're not reporting those at this time.
Newsarama has also heard from multiple sources that staffers are being given three months before their positions are eliminated, although we have not confirmed that at this time.
The California state employment law (DC is located in Burbank, CA) known as WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) requires a 60-day notice to affected employees of a "plant closing or mass layoff." DC has seemingly given their affected employees 90 days.
