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.

I'd say it's the power trip one again after the last issues with Harley.

Jimmy said Justin Grey is also writing it. So the og Pee Gee team is back together.

 

[ReiGun]

I don't know what "We Are Robin" is, but I know I'm buying it.

The Finches still being on Wonder Woman hurts my soul.

 

[Dunbar]

Not sure what I expected from the mini re-launch, but I'm underwhelmed by that list of new books. Black Canary, Martian Manhunter and Starfire are the only sure additions to my pull list. I'll probably give Dark Universe a look, but I was way out on the current arc of JLD and I was going to drop it if it wasn't cancelled. I wish they would give Zatanna her own book.

A lot of books that I'm somewhat interested in trying...
May try them all to get the flavor, but these are the ones that stand out to me

Especially if "We Are Robin" is an all-Robin team-up book!

 

[Cheska]

Holy shit, where did all this news come from? :O

Absolutely thrilled by some of these announcements. Black Canary? Starfire? More Harley and PG!? What a way to start my day

 

[Messi]

Stephane Roux is drawing Harley/Pee Gee! Awesome

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Especially if "We Are Robin" is an all-Robin team-up book!

Artwork looks like it's going to be a "street vigilante youth group calls itself 'the Robins'" book rather than former Robins teaming up.

 

[Cheebo]

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

He does a lot of stuff for Image so he can't be exclusive.

 

[Rrongfield]

I'm not sure what to expect.

 

[samueeL]

Huhh. I was bummed about Red Hood & Outlaws getting canned until read that there's two new series related to them, even better!

Also thank baby jesus for new Green Arrow creative team. Do not let Kreisberg touch Green Arrow again, please. So excited to get such "new" comic writer that seems to be great writer in general. We can only hope it picks up something from Lemire's run and gets rid of Felicity, please.

RAGE!

I'm done... I'm out!

Damn you, DC!

(I'm not... but I want my all Robin book!)

 

[Tawney Bomb]

I was really hoping for a team up book..

 

[StoOgE]

Johns writes the only readable book since the first Action Comics run....

and is gone after 7 issues.

Thanks Obama.

 

[StoOgE]

Ok.. Vendetti is still running GL and Flash.

Snyder still on Bats.

How the Finch's are still on WW is mind-numbing.

DC needs to set up some long form interviews to get me excited, because I'm feeling a downgrade across the board.

Losing Lemire is really no bueno. He's been one of the best parts of the New52.

 

[Owzers]

I'm not that hyped about the reboot, though i don't mind ditching the new 52, the books and creative teams seem spread thin.

I hope they are all 4.99.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

not reboot.

 

[Owzers]

i was buying combo packs and some were 5.99!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still buy the batman combos, but dropped Justice Leauge and Superman.


And you, fertygo, you are a reboot!

 

[Zombine]

Johns writes the only readable book since the first Action Comics run....

But those 7 issues will now live on eternally in your comic soul.

Why are you buying combos you silly monkey.

Yo, seriously, this is some crazy ass news.

 

[E the Shaggy]

How the Finch's are still on WW is mind-numbing.

David Finch could make a monthly book with no story whatsoever and people would still buy it. Also they milked the

Spoiler

return of Donna Troy

It's outselling Azzarello's run because fuck everything.

 

[Owzers]

Why are you buying combos you silly monkey.

I like to have the digital copy in my collection so i don't feel compelled to keep the floppy or rebuy a trade i only kinda like. Didn't work that well with Batman since they only started at issue 12...

DCBS has decent prices on expensive books too, 2.99 for the 4.99 combos compared to 2.39 for a Marvel 3.99 book. Use codes, get rid of flop.

DC needs to announce DC Unlimited with this relaunchboot.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Ugh. They dropped the three good GL books and left the crappy one with the same crappy artist fml

 

[tim1138]

So the Black Canary book is pitched as a rock n roll road trip story. I'm so down for that. Dinah fronting a punk rock band is like the best idea ever.

She is in a punk band in Batgirl. Maybe it's the same band.

 

[ElNarez]

okay as excited as I am for a new miniseries from the creators of Hitman in the DC universe, let's be honest : I can do without Bueno Excellente the walking talking rape joke. he wasn't even that funny in the 90s. and that was the 90s.

dog welder for life tho

True confessions: I never got into Hitman. The fake cursing always made me tune out.

 

[KoruptData]

Justice League 40.

Black Canary.

 

[Owzers]

Which one of those two in the Justice League 40 cover are Thanos?

 

[Rhaknar]

Spoiler

awesome cover

 

[tim1138]

Sorry guys, I just can't get over the Midnighter cover. The combination of his grin and the blood splatter cracks me up.

 

[slightconfuse]

YOU GUUS BURYIED THE LEAD

BRYAN HITCH ON JLA

Comic superstar artist Bryan Hitch will write and draw new tales of the world’s greatest heroes in JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA.

 

[Wiktor]

Constantine: Hellblazer? I hope this means the return to more of Vertigo style for this character. At the very least the art should be good and non superhero-like.

 

[E the Shaggy]

Spoiler

awesome cover

HHHHHNNNGGGGG

How many of these "DC hires artists to be writers too to save money" instances have actually worked out well in terms of great storytelling?

yar i don't like it at all. If i like the art they tend to stop drawing the book too...

 

[tim1138]

So Travel Foreman has no idea where Rama got the info from that he's drawing JLU. He told me he thought the book was cancelled and is completely in the dark on it.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Just when I think I'm out.......they pull me back in!

 

[Messi]

Damn you Skottie young.

 

[choaffable]

Uhhh...If Real Heroes is anything to go by, Hitch's writing on JLA will be a xerox of Mark Millar that got caught in the machine, gets all crinkled up and is barely readable.

 

[Penguin]

Justice League 40.

Black Canary.

JL 40 cover is pretty boss, but yeah they both look like MCU's Thanos haha

 

[Owzers]

I like relaunches, it's like going to a buffet without having to eat buffet food. So many choices....

On the downside, i grew to hate the new 52 so it's hard to get excited about more DC, and i'm not that interested in most of the creative teams. No huge Green Lantern shake-up? No Shazam book?

Yea I'm tempering expectations. I was excited for,the New 52 and that hype was deflated.

Also no,Shazam is a shame. Espcally after thunderworld

 

[Parch]

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

Didn't know he was doing a bat book. I love his work.

The new DC list isn't going to change much for me. I wish the big 2 would commit to more mini-series. To me those are more appealing without the long term investment. I hesitate getting ongoings because of their eventual bad streaks and probable crappiness/failure.
