Hopefully they stick to the true Blue Beetle Ted Kord and not the Iron Man knock-off.
I'm just a little weary of having so many twice-monthly books. I feel like there will be way more artist and writer changes than a monthly book would have. But I'm still fairly new to comics so many that's not the case.
I'm so happy Gotham Academy has survived, though.
Oh wow, just noticed that.

Its sort of like Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

It took some time to come to terms with it but I ended up stronger than before.
No Zatanna, fight me DC. Fight me right now, paint duel.
Yeahhhhhhh so i'm not hyped at all, way more books than i was expecting to ship twice a month and seems like standard stuff. Another hype chance at creative teams and story details but this is disappointing.
Didio likes single issues and wants to support them even if it's at the expense of trades. I forget the exact quote words but the bitterness is eternal.

There's always Afterbirth.
No that's generally the case on double-shipping books. Most artists struggle to keep up with the demands of a monthly book on a regular shipping schedule. Double-shipping means you burn through any issues already in the can that much quicker and inevitably need a set of artists to rotate between arcs to keep up. Writers not so much

As much as I adore it, Martian Manhunter feels like it's coming to a close. Barring a last-second swerve, it seems well positioned to have a solid, conclusive end.

That's a lot more double shipping than I expected lol. Hopefully the comics can stay quality at such a pace. Need those creative teams ASAP.
They're gonna announce creative teams for all of them and then a few months after the initial hype dies down, he'll be back. He always comes back.

On a monthly basis this is going to be expensive lol.

Black Canary didn't survive but I suppose she will be in birds of prey. Maybe Selina can be in birds?
Please dont take away selina
Cats aren't birds, Messi. Cats are cats.

Not that expensive, tbh. 6 bucks a month for presumably twice as many pages... idk.
I'm not getting suckered by Cyborg again unless they do something crazy like putting Tom King on it and forcing my hand, and if I can exert the same level of self control re: the rest of the bimonthly line... might end up saving money. Hmm.
The problem is that some of these books I don't want twice monthly. I don't want harley twice a month. It builds up and you get burnt out. It already happened me once with the Harley series so I took a break.
double shipping dampens by optimism a little (a lot) because maaaan it takes a lot of work on everyone's part to do right
this is the real travesty

None.
I was reading Grayson, Harley, Starfire, Secret Six, and New Suicide Squad but dropped them all last October.
I'm guessing that $3 and twice a month means less pages and that $6 adds up.

As long as Gotham Academy is still around I'm fine with whatever they do... Well, unless they keep doing this Yearbook garbage

you shut your dummy mouth, dummy
yearbook is fucking dope, and if it can bring talent that you don't usually see in superhero comics to DC, it's double dope
Wheres the Doom Partol book he was promising?
Secret Six is dead too it seems. Poor Gail. Unless she is writing BOP which I doubt.

Yearbook's been fun tho.
I'm ready to get back to Regularly Scheduled Programming too, but that'll come soon enough.
Pls no more bleeding cool.
Pls.

So far none of the stories in Yearbook have done anything for me -- I didn't find they had a point, or a message, or even a punchline. It was nice to see Dustin Nguyen draw the characters though, even if it was only 4 pages.
I'll keep buying them because I love Gotham Academy and want to support it. I just miss the actual stories.
Yeah
But Rich will still be like, "I TOLD U!'

Ah, okay. Didn't think we were getting any creative teams.
I like the ironman knockoff

Pls tell me that's not real.
It feels fake, what with the Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer phrasing.
