Ha. I'm only buying Batman as well at the moment. I'll probably try to get into a few more books when Rebirth starts.

See, he says that every hero is somebody's favorite hero, and he names Blue Beetle as one of the examples, but it's Geoff Johns, so is he talking about the good one or about Ted Kord?
There's no way he's talking about Dan Garret, nobody cares about him.

They're definitely saying the right words, but we'll have to see if they implement it correctly. The New 52 robbed DC of its identity of legacy by removing important characters like Wally West, by compressing decades of superhero history into five years, and by eliminating nearly every single super hero family. I'm hoping this rebirth undoes most of the damage.

lol.
what i want most out of Rebirth and the new books is to feel excited about books I've either never read or just not in a long time. I've never read a word of Humphries though, but fuck it...books will be a mite cheaper. Still kinda miffed it's not a JSA Rebirth but if we get a JSA ongoing out of it (not by Humphries not by Humphries) I'll be happy. I'm beating the drum but Hickman on LoSH and/or New Gods and I'll send Didio a belated valentines card.
Edit: *gets 30 secs into the video* man, Johns is ageing.....Didio sucking the lifeforce out of him. Finished it now. I know he's probably saying stuff but the way he ends his talk about GL at Blackest Night makes me feel like he wanted to end it there, or with War of the Green Lantern Corps (or whatever the last pre Flashpoint arc was) and Didio or whoever got him to stay on. Interesting he's leaving JL but hope he stays with Fabok.

Yes! Imma circle October on my calendar.
I buy a large chunk of them 7-8 books a week usually.
0 monthlies, the only DC trade i've bought recently is Prez vol 1.
I would rather DC make a clean break from the new 52 instead of trying to integrate more into it.

Not many. I read Gotham Academy, Sometimes Batgirl, Clean Room.... I think that's about it.

Five for me. Batgirl, Black Canary, Gotham Academy, Starfire, and Justice League.
$2.99 standard is great btw. Hate how Marvel abandoned that price.

Nah we'll know by then. Need to give shops time to pre-order.
And burn whatever new readers they picked up during new 52 like me?
I wonder how difficult it is for DC to push back to 3.99 after lowering the price.
Harley continuity can stay to lock in some Messi Dollars. I presume double shipping is their way to make up for $2.99, but we'll always be six months away from back up stories at $3.99 and then when they go away maintaining the price.

My pull list has been uber erratic the last month or two because of a load of issues...but typically it's been Batman, Justice League, Lucifer, American Alien, Grayson, Bombshells (only just got int), Black Canary, Justice League of America...that's maybe it? It's not like I can afford it but I want more. Want to get silver age JSA that just came out.

I really hope that Scott and Greg Wonder Woman rumor is true.
I read one book now and at most I can see me checking out Flash and Teen Titans unless Steph gets a book and that's not happening. Flash is probably going to ship twice a month(meaning I won't read it) and I don't expect Teen TItans to ever be good again so we'll see.
Does this mean DC will start shipping trades quicker?

So, you know, a few.
Didio hates trades, but in theory you'd think they'd come out sooner.
Either that or they'd be twice as many issues within. I'd be happy with either, tbh.
Marvel may respond depending on the reception to this and whether or not this affects their numbers.

Yeah I know what you mean. Johns seems like a good dude so I'm pretty optimistic as well. Seems much less confused than the reboot was. Hope we get some good creative teams!

Okay, first of all, that's a lot more twice monthly books than I was anticipating.
BUT.
I see a Blue Beetle #1 in there, and more Gotham Academy stuff.
So, you know, mixed blessings.

Yay, Gotham Academy survives.
That's a lot (17) of books shipping twice monthly. A little ambitious maybe?

Yeah, that's gonna get pared down. Cyborg is definitely not going to last more than a few months at that pace. Ditto Deathstroke.

Pak's taking over soonish, isn't he?
He'll probably still be working the book after Rebirth.
(At least I hope he is)
No Swamp Thing...
No Zatanna either

I'm down for whatever Scott Snyder ends up going too, also I think artist changes will be pretty common in those biweekly series.
