DC Comics is the name of the group though, as the actual DC comic brand is called DC, not DC Comics. VErtigo, Tokyo Pop etc also come under this DC Comics branding, but are no 'DC' comics, but they are owned by DC Comics. Confusing I know, but yeah.

The Lego Star Wars stuff was much better. This game better be good, or there's no way I'll be buying the upcoming Lego Gary Glitter or Lego Little Rascals.
