What books are canned? I see Batman and Robin is not on the list :/.

Batman and Robin, Red Hood and the Outlaws, Supergirl, JL3K, JLD, and Earth 2, according to Bleeding Cool.

A lot of those are getting successors, though.

 

[Messi]

Likely replaced by Robin, Son of Batman: i.e. a reason to renumber the series and probably focus more on Damian.

Ah yes. That makes sense. Maybe he will keep his powers for a bit then.

Please don't end the Batman and Robin series before Damian meets Carrie again.

Edit: Damn, Supergirl. That book just got really good.

 

[SoilBreak]

Gene Luen Yang writing superman? Huh

I know I left Batgirl on the list, Ill give it a try again after convergence.

Upset about Johns off of Superman, upset that Tomasi isn't writing any of the Robin books. Though definitely psyched to see what Gleason can do fully manning a book. Also upset about no Supergirl or Superboy book. Though hopefully she'll be represented in JLU still. I really can not wait for the Conner/Palmiotti books. I'm interested in what the title change for Constantine means. His book has been pretty fucking solid since day 1. I've totally been into it.

Fucking psyched overall though.

 

[fertygo]

Tomasi & Gleason dis parting

I'm not happy.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Please Johns...pick up another solo character book. Its your forte. Its time for Shazam!

 

[ElNarez]

Apparently the artist on JLU might end up being Travel Foreman? And if so, man, I'm so happy.

There were rumors about that awhile ago, a few months ago he tweeted some JLU stuff he was working on.

 

[fertygo]

Are we sure Gleason can write?

 

[Parallax]

DC's greatest super team are set to return with their original creators.

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/02...tion-eight-as-part-of-dcs-june-mini-relaunch/

this is a good morning!

 

[Messi]

Are we sure Gleason can write?

If his writing is half as good as his art we will be just fine.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

If his writing is half as good as his art we will be just fine.

He could be Tony Daniel bad though

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Gene luan yang is writing Superman?

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

He could be Tony Daniel bad though

Or frank miller in his prime

 

[GrandHarrier]

Jorge Jimenez on Earth 2: Society is going to be awesome. I love his art.

 

[Messi]

He could be Tony Daniel bad though

Yeah. His art is rad but has bleh writing.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Or frank miller in his prime

This would be amazing.

 

[Rrongfield]

I wish there was a Shazam ongoing, and I haven't heard of many of the creative teams names before. But I have to admit I'm kind of excited for DCNow!

Has Gleason written anything before?

 

[SoilBreak]

Gene luan yang is writing Superman?

Such a weird ass choice after Johns.

 

[E the Shaggy]

DC is FINALLY pulling the trigger on a Cyborg book eh?

Starfire looks fantastic. Thank God they're pulling away from her early New 52 appearances.

What is Doomed? A Doomsday series?

 

[Tawney Bomb]

I'll be checking out a lot of #1s in June.

Scott Lobdell still getting work is baffling.

He always hits his deadlines, which I'm sure is a big factor in this, regardless of his books usually selling for shit.

Read like shit too

 

[Messi]

Guys. You never gave Klarion a chance.

 

[fertygo]

I hate this analogy

That could mean you enjoy the book half less

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Guys. You never gave Klarion a chance.

Lack of girly hijinks

 

[ThyMusicMan]

Yo Messi, what'd you think of Life is Strange?
Have some fan stuff from the series

http://soratane.tumblr.com/post/110122743881/hella

I'm gonna have to check that out... the trailer looked pretty cool

 

[Shin Johnpv]

I almost posted in the OT thread about the DC stuff. Thankfully I came to my senses, stopped reading any of the posts there and closed the window.

OT Comic threads are bad.

 

[tim1138]

Bummed Ben Templesmith won't be back on Gotham by Midnight, but I'm thrilled the book is still going.

 

[Messi]

I hate this analogy

This is true. I just wanted to say how good his art is.

Lack of girly hijinks

What if Klarion was a girl?

 

[CrichtonKicks]

Wonder if Jeff Parker is about to become Marvel exclusive. Is he doing Batman '66 still? He used to write multiple titles a month but now his Flash Gordon run is over and he doesn't seem to have any other upcoming work. He's been pretty prolific in the past so it seems odd that all of his stuff would stop around the same time unless he's on some projects that haven't been announced yet (maybe during or post Secret Wars?).

I'm thinking Lemire is probably Marvel exclusive now too.

Oh god another DC reboot!!

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Wouldn't have mattered due to the writer honestly.

 

[arkon]

Yooooo. Gustavo Duarte on art? Fuck yeah! Even if it's only a limited series, I'll take it.

 

[SoilBreak]

Has anyone heard of Ben Percy before? He's taking over green arrow with Patrick Zircher.

 

[KoruptData]

He did the 2 part Detetective Comic story a few months ago that got rave reviews. With artist John Paul Leon I think.

Could be Parker has got some creator-owned stuff lined up. Didn't he also try the Marvel exclusivity before this recent DC stint? I wonder if he would go back to being exclusive

 

[Messi]

Ann Nocenti is a wordsmith.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Such a weird ass choice after Johns.

I don't mind. I'm gonna give it a shot. I don't think he's ever written a cape comic before.

 

[Kipp]

Oh man. That Bat-Mite mini. Awesome.

Damian getting his own All Pat Gleason All The Time ongoing, holy smokes

DC was like "Yo, remember when we let Andy Kubert write and draw that Damian book? That seemed to work really well. Let's try that whole thing again."

Why does Damian have to be the character they let all the artists attempt to write?

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Ann Nocenti is a wordsmith.

What if I were to dig through your post history?

 

[Messi]

What if I were to dig through your post history?

That might take a while.

 

[Shin Johnpv]

Ann Nocenti is a word murderer.

That is very true Messi. She does butcher words and comics alike.

 

[E the Shaggy]

Why does Damian have to be the character they let all the artists attempt to write?

Because Damien's dope and he does dope shit.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

JL3K getting "canceled" only to tack on an extra year. They should do that every season. Also nice to see J'onn getting a crack at another series.

Might be interested in Starfire if it's not the same Jimmy & Amanda who show up to write Harley Quinn every month.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

That might take a while.

You're right.

So you're saying I should buy the Klarion ominbus?

 

[Messi]

That is very true Messi. She does butcher words and comics alike.

Oh god I laughed out loud in work.

 

[Rrongfield]

Will the Harley/PG mini be with the new Power Girl? Since the original is still in Earth 2 right?
But it's just a mini so I guess it wouldn't matter that much.

Only if Marvel exclusive only means no DC titles. He's heavily involved with Valiant, has a new Image book launching next month, one or two Image books still to come, and has a Dark Horse title. Plus an OGN due out this year or next.

He is also said he is still doing a vol 2 of Earth One Teen Titans.
