Might happen. He's off both Logan and Moon Knight already. Only Thanos left and that feels like a "we want 2 trades in shops for when Infinity War hype starts" kinda book. He's also not a signed on exclusive IIRC.

I'd be interested in what he would do at DC, but feel like it would be a huge hit to Marvel if they lost him. What does he do like 4 books with them? Logan, Moon Knight, Thanos, any else?
Damn, now I'm really wondering what he would do.

Who would be the best artist for it? Also, Lemire and Hickman will have to fight to the death for it.
Glad I dropped all of Marvel then. Parker pushers

He's doing an issue of Red Hood. My bet is he's gonna do a Wildstorm book.
A what?
A panel from a Alien (->
) Comic. Or am I misremembering and it was someone else?
It showed a woman from the backside with a flamethrower facing a Xenomorph Queen in a hive. It was beautiful and I need to read that book.

That looks like a statue.
Dude said nothing about about Marvel. Also, I doubt Marvel will drop their prices since results seem to be kinda eh for DC atm, though a reduction in digital prices would be interesting.
That really doesn't hurt his argument.
It totally wasn't me. Probably freeza. She loves the alien books.

I wish the old omnibuses would get a reprint or something before the movie...
The main Batman writer of the last few years.
they should. DC dominates the best sellers list on the regular.
Ahhh, then it may have been Freeza.
The marvels of practical effects <3 I love this creature so much. Everything about it fascinates me. Cant wait to see all 3 movies in preperations again to get disappointed as fuck when the new movie releases.

Finally time for a new Katana solo
Not wrong, but Lemire and Sorrentino is a match made in heaven. Like Morrison and Quietly, or Bendis and Maleev.
Extraordinary X-Men and IvX, but that's all finishing up.
wait. I can see lemire leaving but a new book already in june1? woah
Lemire plastic man.
The amount of money they make is more important from a business standpoint, which is why you see DC starting to raise prices so soon. DC's dominance also seems to be waning a bit if you want to go by Diamond's numbers, which obviously don't give us the complete picture.
Personally I want some $2 books.
Dc only raised the price of physical monthlies with a digital issue included. Not bad for 10-11 months after a relaunch.
They have managed to turn a bummer into a Pr win.
Diamond doesn't count digital issues though. so I don't take them srs.

Boom played with fire and got burned:

The entire run was reprinted by Disney's own publishing house, with that arc struck out.
The code thing was a smart move on DC's part, but I think it's more likely that some people reading those books physically either start buying the cheaper digital version or just stop reading the book.
I see Rebirth as a series of low-key smart moves by DC that some people don't even notice.
Also, it wasn't 10-11 months, but that's me nitpicking.
it goes into effect April.

Justice League of America: Rebirth #1
Wherein we learn Lobo is less of a douchebag than Batman.
Pretty great issue. Not much more to be said. They hit all the key points a team book should hit in the first issue.

That might be all according to plans. They finally found a way to give digital comics a better incentive than physical ones without retailers getting pissed. Now they can make more money off each book and as retailers' influence dies off DC can then raise the prices back up. Of course, this is all speculative. *twirls mustache*

Killer Frost was so-so
I have Death be Damned and The Few but haven't gotten to them yet

Picked up Mighty Morphin Power Rangers v1 and Vision v1. Will get to see what the hype is about after my SG re-read is done.
Ennis c. 1978 was 8 years old, what a legend
Ennis is from Co Down?? I didn't know that.
Oooo can't wait. Does the frost one shot give us a 101 on who she is? I don't know much about her.
I want to get into "the few" but the art looks really rough.

Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #7
Well this was a fun issue. Some team building, a fun mystery that simultaneously wraps up a previous plot thread. The art was nice, but I couldn't help feeling like there was some sort of dissonance between the dialogue and art. I couldn't place my finger on it, though. Particularly with Helena. Otherwise it was pretty solid.
Supergirl #6
What a superhero book. This was just the most superhero issue I've read in a minute. It was pretty awesome. Also, Orlando must be an anime fan with that
. And that future arc set-up.
Dope book that will never be less than that.
Detective Comics #950
1) The Cassandra story was pretty beautiful, to the point of being painful. I actually felt the emotional distress within, and it was actually beautiful.
2) I'm not too familiar with Azrael, so this was good insight. It's also good to see a religious hero written well, and not completely foolish. In a genre where all the characters tend to be atheists, agnostics, or just completely absent from the stories as a whole. Pretty awesome, and also super intenss.
3) YOOOOOOOOOOOO IT'S GOIN DOOOOOOOWN

JLA had a strong first issue. Renew Your Vows was pretty fun too.
Haven't read through anything else but I'm sure Wonder Woman and Squirrel Girl were good too.
Nah. Same as any other book not written by Spencer or Coates.
Nightwing is more about the action panels to me. They keep me coming back

Jessica Jones 5 was absurdly good. Dark as fuck.
Unworthy Thor and East of West are the other standouts for me so far

It was certainly interesting. Not at all what I was expecting.
