Kinda hard to farm much of anything with no water, huh?

Is the drought every year? I don't think so.

The shirt is nice but charity goes against everything I stand for so.... Screw poverty. Get a job

You're telling them to get a job.. when there's no jobs to be found, and they starve to death because their own government won't do anything? Wow, you're cool.

really cool :) God bless them

Dammit. Now I have The Wallflowers cover of "Heroes" stuck in my head.

THANKS A LOT, MATT!

I back DC on this movement 100%. Being both a comic fan and as someone who's worked with a charity in affrica before (and the last time i was there (in Kenya) the drought had just hit). Reading many of the commments already said it seems as though most of you agree with this, while others either dont understnad whats going on, dosnt understand the sheer numbers of people suffering and dying each day due to thris drought, or who think that this move by DC entertainment will ammount to nothing.

The drought has wiped out any small amount of crops available to large numbers of communities that would usualy keep them fed and alive for a certain amount of time. Most of the goverments in these countries are trying to resolve the problem but it's the problem of having their hearts in the right places, but not having the sufficient supplies and equiptment necessary to dela with the situation, and in the case of Somalia which is being affected the most no Goverment at all. DC's "We are the Heros" might be a drop of water in a vast ocean, but its one drop out of thousands helping out there.

We read these comics about heroes doing great things without questioning them, so lets do the same thing here. :)

Hmm I can't seem to access the shop through the link. Is it because I'm not from U.S ? Or because the website is down ?

Well, that's actually nice.

Good for them!

I really want that shirt! $30 is double my t-shirt limit but if it's for charity I guess I can make an exception. Now just to find $30 for it....

While I'm not too crazy about most of their comics and heroes, I'm a pretty big fan of this idea. I think it's a wonderful opportunity for them to act as the heroes they tell stories about, and for us comic fans as well.

I plan to at least buy a shirt. Possibly more. I hope as many of us as possible will do the same.

That shirt is bosss!

@Frontrunner:

I have to actually agree with you thats why I won't donate to charities like these I'd rather donate to hospitals. But I do have to say at least DC is doing something good at least.

That shirt is pretty cool! Love that they are doing this.

People have been donating to Africa for many years. Can't they teach them to farm?

i want that shirt! getting it this weekend

I'm buying a shirt.

I'm proud to be part of a culture like comicbooks more now than ever before, this is a really fitting move on DC's part considering how big superheroes have become in the mainstream culture over the last few years and since we unfortunately live in a world where people like Superman don't exist... I guess the people who make Superman comics helping out is the next best thing?

Anyone else instantly think of Clark flying across the globe with 500 ton bags of food aid on his shoulders when they read the thread title?

This is really cool.

Some of these comments are disturbing, however this is amazing and kudos to DC for helping out. There is a difference between being jobless and starving to death. Its amazing how you can spend damn near 20$ on comics but can't donate to a good cause...

While I won't call anyone out on their ignorance, I will say that at least in this country there are food banks and support systems to help people, They ones DC are trying to help do NOT have these systems in place. Most are responsible for growing or finding their own food on a DAILY basis. I applaud DC for doing something, regardless of the motive. BTW, I donated myself and plan to get the T-shirt.

Nice,that would be a Major Encouragement If Batwing was on the cover

Reminds me of the Comics for Poverty idea I pitched here a few years ago.... Should have stuck with that :(

I get to be the jerk again wont I? One multinational, multimedia Company pouring money to a charity and asking people to do the same won't save the World. We need a total overhaul of the system, and possibly stop interfering in other nations problems, in my experience that only makes things worst (That doesn't mean ignore other peoples pledge for help, just not try to solve problems we don't understand nor interfere with people that doesn't need help, I am a cynical I know)

very interesting, i might pick up a shirt and or phone case...

I like it, shame they couldn't have got the designer of the T shirt to have a crack at the new logo :/

Thanks DC for help out the motherland.

Justice League T-Shirt

they should do something like this with variants

Right on ya, DC!

I like the shirt. Good work DC.

a drop in an ocean. thats how much of a difference this makes. if at all.

there's a difference between being unemployed and starving to death. the fact that you follow that up with (to paraphrase) "i hope DC helping those dying kids doesn't add 25 cents to my digital comics!", is...well, it is what it i

Thanks Adribones, hope you are going to donate.

Two words: TAX BREAK 

Might grab the iPhone case, it's for a good cause and...I kinda like the design, tbh.

Shouldn't they sell Batwing T-Shirts? It's more logical for him to fight hunger in Africa.

I would get a t-shirt. I am glad that Dc is doing this.

That is very cool of them.

It's nice of DC to help out but, wouldn't it be ideal to help locally in the United States, with unemployment high I'm sure families in the states could use the help. Not that I'm telling DC what to do with their $$, just my opinion. Also, lets make sure we don't see a price hike on digital/published comics after doing this.

That is nice!

@BatClaw89: what a dumb comment.

I applaud DC for stepping up to the plate to help out. This is a great cause that deserves every bit of support it gets and then some.

I just wish the shirt would fit me, maybe I'll get the coffee mug =^-^=

That's the same thought I originally had, but it's nice to see some companies helping anyone out on this planet because there are tons of people less fortunate than us in this crazy world.
