DC said that part of the June relaunch was to diversify the lineup. So just for fun I decided to look at the new slate of DC creators and see how many are non white dudes (this includes biracial, ladies, various ethnicities, etc.). By my count 25 of the 48 announced books for June have creative teams that are not two white dudes.

It's definitely nice to see more ladies getting their shot, but the industry as a whole really blows at African American representation on the creative side. Progress is being made, but there's still work to be done.

Former writer of Power Girl and current writer of Harley does a Power Girl Harley mini series after the continued success of Harley Quinn. Can't speak for the other two you mentioned but Palmiotti and Conner are proven in those characters.

Fans also loved the recent team up between the two. It's a no brainer

Happy they gave David Walker the chance at Cyborg. Also one more from Sonny's Twitter today.

It just reads like "Two Internet waifu characters get a team up mini" from here. Also hasn't Harley killed children recently?

 

[Filthy Slug]

"Vigilante youth gang cleaning up Gotham streets," instead of "established Robins all in one book." The Detective solicit (which I didn't know) is almost that exact premise.

Oh, yeah, that's exactly what I want, actually. I think it's an awesome concept, but I just know it's not going to last.

 

[fauxtrot]

Starfire, Black Canary, a Harley Quinn/Power Girl miniseries, and Marvel's A-Force, off the top of my head.

EDIT: Possibly DC's Prez as well.

Black Canary book drawn by Annie Wu
Starfire by Conner/Palmiotti/Lupacchino
Harley Quinn and Power Girl team-up mini series by Conner/Palmiotti/Roux

IT'S LIKE THEY READ MY FANFIC! Soo good.

Do you read harley Quinn?

The children thing was before the recent run and Jimmy Palmiotti removed it from canon in the origin a few months back.

You don't see why they would team up the two hugely popular characters they wrote? Or are you just here to continually shit on books like Harley?

 

[Boogiepop]

Before I forget to ask: should I be excited or worried for the new Batman Beyond series? I haven't read the author's works but it obviously looks like some definitely important accomplishments in there, but then I could say the same thing about Claremont and I really don't want him near any property I'd be interested in, at least nowadays...

 

[Sou Da]

I wanted a TMNT esque Robin book for the longest but knowing my luck they'd probably pick Steph over Tim.

Some things you can't undo.

 

[Messi]

Some things you can't undo.

Fair enough. But why would they get slapped with something they didn't do? They openly said they hated that.

When is Snyder going to deal with the fact that Batman killed all those guys?

 

[Vyer]

heh

cool

 

[Filthy Slug]

Tim is basically sidelined in the new52. Dude has not been in the hands of a decent storyteller for years, which sucks.

heh

cool

This upcoming Bizarro book is going to be my favorite thing. Also, if we could get a Zibarro mini...

 

[Owzers]

Fair enough. But why would they get slapped with something they didn't do? They openly said they hated that.

Only bringing back Superboy Prime will redeem DC. I agree though and was mostly joking, character baggage shouldn't weigh down new runs, but it does leave lasting impressions.

Not for me though since i never read the child killing thing, when did that happen?

 

[Messi]

I honestly don't think that has lasting baggage. They got out there and said it wasnt part of their harley and that it was messed up. It's just Sou Da trying to stir shit.

It was in her villians month issue. She was depressed Joker broke up with her and put bombs in kids video game systems and gave them as gifts.

 

[Owzers]

That's some grim stuff right there.

 

[Messi]

That's some grim stuff right there.

Yep. It's fucked up and over the line. But it's not something this team should be held accountable for.

Benjamin Percy tweeted that he is going to incorporate the new additions to the Green Arrow mythos that Lemire and Sorrentino introduced. He also said he's going for a darker, more literary tone, and it will have zero connection to the Arrow show. I'm pretty excited for a good GA run again.

Yeah, GA went straight to shit when those tv bros came onboard.

I didn't bother checking out any of their stuff, but it looked like it was basically Arrow: The Comic (which is made even worse by the fact there already is an Arrow comic).

I read the first Green Arrow trade before watching the series so when the final page of the first Lemire trade had

Spoiler

Diggle showing up as some big reveal

i was just wondering why i should care about this guy. Didn't move on to the second trade.

Sad thing is they could have really had something by sticking to making those characters antagonists.

 

[Sothpaw]

G. Willow Wilson is a pretty interesting character. I was raised as a Catholic and went to Catholic schools my entire life. Yet as I grew older and became more educated, I came to the conclusion that religion isn't necessarily needed in the modern world. Yet here is Wilson, raised in a typical secular liberal east-coast household, and she picks up a religion and moves to Egypt. And not just any religion, but Islam, which (whether justly or not) is reaching toxic status in the Western world. I would love to pick her brain someday.

Woah, hold up, I just want to say Lemire and Sorrentino's GA run is stellar the whole way through. Even the addition of Diggle was great. They built up a family around Olly and gave him something to give a shit about aside from his city, and in turn, people rightfully started giving a shit about the comic. Also, Sorrentino is just dominant.

The creators who came on directly afterward just decided to do away with all the great building blocks Lemire and Sorrentino had stacked and just redid the tv show in shitty comic form, however.

Seriously, Lemire's run on GA was so good I'm picking up his Hawkeye without hesitation. No previews, no nothing.

 

[whatsinaname]

Yes! Look what just popped up on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/1606998676/?tag=neogaf0e-20

In this fourth book of Duck epics by Don Rosa, Scroge's story begins to unfold. Relive Scrooge’s Scottish boyhood as “Last of the Clan McDuck,” then his teenage years as “Master of the Mississippi” on Uncle Pothole’s steamboat! Witness Scrooge’s first fights with the Beagle Boys and Flintheart Glomgold — and in a bonus “Chapter 0,” his earliest meeting with Magica De Spell!

Presented in brilliant color and with a treasure trove of Rosa’s cover art and behind-the-scenes factoids, these Duckburg epics are back in a definitive, comprehensive edition for posterity — at a bargain price worthy of Scrooge himself!

 

[frye]

I might I have to check out his Detetective Comics story & his new Green Arrow.

The more time I spent away from the first part the more I dug it, the more time I spend away from the second the less like it

 

[Discotheque]

So I take it I should read Lemire's green arrow run then?

I don't like team up books or any of that big-time marvel stuff really but I will definitely have to cop the female avengers book for 90s xmen and g willow Wilson

A thousand times yes. It was fucking great.

 

[Sou Da]

Ha.

I found a panel on imgur that sums up what OT thinks about continuity, not sure if I can post it.

 

[Bloodember]

Really upset they cancelled Supergirl, that was my favorite book. Hopefully they bring her back in the coming months. Starfire looks awesome though, will pick that up.

I imagine it will come back with a fancy new #1 in the lead up to the tv show this fall.

Starfire looks a little weird to me in Conner's art style. Is she drawing the book or just covers?

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Just the covers like Harley

Lupacchino is doing the art. She's really good!

Just covers. Emanuela Lupacchino is doing the interiors.

She any good?

 

[Future Foundation]

She any good?

Very, she's been doing Supergirl for a little while now.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

She any good?

You'd like her Zatanna commissions

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Yep. It's fucked up and over the line. But it's not something this team should be held accountable for.

Didn't she shoot a guy in the face before he could tell amnesiac PG that Harley is actually a villain, to shut him up? Doesn't she choke out a woman and beat and possibly murder her to not be outbid on her date with Bruce Wayne without immediate repercussion?

Current Supergirl artist. I think she is wonderful.

That was beyond fucking stupid when it came Bruce's position.

 

[Freezasaurus]

She has some really good stuff on her dA page.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Anything and everything I read with Harley in it I take as being from her perspective as an unreliable narrator. Makes all her stories make way more sense.

 

[Messi]

She has some really good stuff on her dA page.

Ya

 

[arkon]

I should probably take the sillymonkey route and not get too hyped with some of the DC announcements. After all the hype died off for the new 52. I gave some books way too much time back then which I regret.

This is all null and void if DC give us Hickman and some top-tier artist on Legion of Superheroes though. Is that too much to ask?

 

[Zombine]

I don't know guys. Starfire still looks pretty erotic to me.
