Looks like DC might have subtly acknowledged Marvel's nod to them in Infinity Countdown #1 with a panel featuring Booster Gold and Skeets from this week's Action Comics.
Don't worry that it's only 6 issues. After it ends there'll be a six issue Deadshot mini (Deadshot: Imposter Syndrome) by Christos Gage and Stuart Immonen.
A Deadshot impersonator has been killing different assassins and Floyd travels the globe trying to find the imposter while running from assassins guilds hunting him for the framed murders.
God damn you

Milk Wars is a mini-event in which DC's "Young Animal" titles, which is their current 90s-Vertigo-esque imprint for weird stuff, cross over with some regular DC Universe stuff. It's very Morrison-y, involving a company called RetCo using special milk to brainwash all of DC's heroes. Here's a good guide to it all: http://www.howtolovecomics.com/2018/01/28/milk-wars-reading-order-checklist/
I haven't been reading any dc since like...after 52. It's been awhile. Where would one jump in? And what's with this milk man stuff?
You can't go wrong if you start with the DC Universe Rebirth #1. It's an 80 page one shot and it sets up a couple storylines and a central mystery (which is not a mystery anymore by this point??). From there you can go with whatever catches your eye post Rebirth. DC comics has been well received and is doing really good story wise at the moment so pick your favorite character and I'm confident that you'll like what you are reading.
If you pick up Superman though, fair warning, you are gonna need a bit more context on his situation.
As for the Milk Wars story. It's from Young Animal which is an imprint curated by Gerard Way from MCR. You can start from the beginning no problem and the highlight books are..... all of them!! Doom Patrol, for example, is written by Way and is super weird and great and weird.

Nalo Hopkinson writes House of Whispers, which features a cover by Yanick Paquette. Hopkinson was hand-picked by Gaiman, who told EW, “if we’re gonna do House of Whispers, if we’re going to do Erzulie and have all this voodoo lore stuff, then I want Nalo to do it because there isn’t anybody better.” The series’ will explore the mystery of the tutelar house’s appearance alongside the House of Mystery and House of Secrets.
Books of Magic, which will feature the new adventures of Tim Hunter, will be scripted by Cat Howard. “She has the touch, she understands the magic,” Gamain promises.
Assuring fans he understands that previous creators have left an indelible stamp on Lucifer, Gamin assures Dan Watters is more than up to the task of scripting the next chapter in the life of comic book readers’ favorite fallen angel. “Dan is smart and deep, and he gets it,” Gaiman said. “He’s up to the challenge of ‘Okay, can you recreate this thing?'”
Finally, Si Spurrier will take readers back to The Dreaming. The new series will once again be set in the Sandman’s kingdom. Of course, it will feature the return of fan-favorite supporting characters like Mervyn Pumpkinhead, Lucien the librarian and Matthew the Raven as they attempt to keep things running in the absence of their ruler, Dream.

Wait is this a new Lucifer different from the new Lucifer launched a few years ago or is it all the same
I might be mixing it up with The Unwritten in my head
Either way, they're well aware of it now
“Mostly what I’m looking forward to is going to that idea and starting it again in 2018,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “Books of Magic was an idea I came up with and did 30 years ago and loved and had an enormous amount of fun with. It was pre-Harry Potter, and the idea of a bespectacled, tousled 12-year-old boy with an owl learning magic was this sort of weird new thing we were trying to figure out as it went along. I love the idea of starting that again now, because now you’re in a universe in which everybody and their brother knows how that kind of story ought to go. Now we’re going to go back and look at ways it can go, both lighter and darker (he said, picking his words with care), than the original. With that one, we’re taking this comic book approach that reminds me a little bit of what DC did when they came up with the concept of Earth One. They took the Flash, and you created the Barry Allen Flash and let the Jay Garrick Flash be the Flash of Earth Two. It’s a new Tim Hunter for a new time, and the old Tim Hunter may well have existed, and that may actually have ramifications for us a little bit down the line.”

Article about DC's Batgirl movie being stalled had an interesting tidbit at the end.
In addition, a cloud looms over Warner Bros. because of the lawsuit by the Department of Justice against AT&T’s $85 billion bid to buy studio parent company Time Warner.
If the merger fails, an individual close to the company told TheWrap that Time Warner would likely be broken up into parts and sold separately as Warner Bros., HBO and Turner — leaving the fate of DC Comics a bit up in the air.
DC is offering the #1 issues of Powers, Takio, Brilliant, United States of Murder, Inc. And Scarlet for free, digitally, as Bendis' Jinxworld books are now officially part of the DC library
That's not an exaggeration, but good, honest advice. It was both bad and entirely pointless, having no effect on either book.
Yeah, I don't remember this crossover even happening.
Most annoying thing was, I was reading in trades and it's published as Unwritten Volume 9 instead of a seperate thing. While "Tommy Taylor and the Ship That Sank Twice" is published as outside of the regular series...
The best thing I can say about The Unwritten is that it's for people who liked The Sandman and/or Lucifer, with how they embrace stories and mythology and mythos, but then take it to a whole new/different meta level.
It eases you into it, but man does it go meta eventually. There aren't many comics like it around.

I'm not sure they've really leaned into it in any way that I can recall though.
Either way, they're well aware of it now
By the way, The Unwritten is amazing and more people should read it.
