They are from the Dark Multiverse.

Is this another Earth or different Multiverse then the one from Multiversity?

A different multiverse. Think of it as the other side of the Multiversity map.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Thanks. I hope this gets soon a Deluxe.

Single issues -> Trade -> Deluxe HC

You probably have a little bit of a wait. Maybe by next summer.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Lemire is writing "Hawkman Found" a sequel to "Batman Lost" with Bryan Hitch and Kevin Nowlan.
Lemire implied he may be writing a Hawkman series.

Interesting.

Multiversity was first a Deluxe, then a trade. And the Deluxe released 3,4 after the event ended

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Lemire writing a team book described specifically like a family. Almost like that's one of his strengths

Spoiler

I kid, I kid, just having fun

He did say this.

Lemire said that his goal with The Terrifics is to recapture the feeling of Lee and Kirby's Fantastic Four. The title will spin out of Metal.

 

[mreddie]

Lemire already got 2 books in DC and he just got back.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I think I am gonna read this

 

[Donniewahlberg]

He did say this.

Lol I know, it's just a playful joke about a debate Sandy and I had the other day

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I might need to buy all of these books now.
Also:

The term "widescreen" is getting thrown around a lot to describe the Dark Matter series - and everyone is namedropping Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

 

[mreddie]

DC is honoring Kirby and Lee more than Marvel.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

So, whats the next event for that I can hype up a Fantastic Four book thats not getting announced?

 

[8bit]

Thought I just saw a post somewhere stating Grant Morrison was working on Arkham Asylum 2, but can’t seem to find it now...

We have a thread about that yesterday.

Marvel's rumored relaunch before Infinity Wars

Sounds like D.C. Just announced one

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps #32 will tie into Metal, in a story that features the New Gods.

Hmm...

 

[La Maquinon]

I havent even finished the first trade of SM/DP because it was boring

Did you meet Itsy-Bitsy? I thought she was an awesome creation.

I don't have time to explain but I am not happy AT ALL about this Young Animal news and it is FUCKING BULLSHIT.

Yeah, pretty sad. It's, like, the coolest imprint ever. Pretty much exactly what I'd want from comics. Speaking of Bug, Shade, and Doom Patrol specifically. But also just the vibrancy and wild creativity of the line in general. I have zero interest in any crossing over within the imprint or -gag- with the main DC line. Boo-Erns.

And, to continue my whining, I'm not happy about Lemire returning to superhero work. All the best stuff he does seems to be either indie slice of life, sci-fi, or fringe vertigo type stuff. He doesn't have a great batting average wrt corporate capes. I'd rather see him channel his energy other places. Go crazy on a Black Hammer universe or something.

 

[Einchy]

Has anything interesting happened on the Marvel LIVE! stream? Almost everytime I tune in it's "we'll be back shortly", once it was some putting paper on their bodies to "cosplay", taking awful questions from the audience to give posters out, playing charades.


Oh yeah, one time it was an interview with someone I've never seen before.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Lee said he likes variant covers - "More covers, more work." But instead of variant covers, the first issues will launch with two covers in a three-fold gatefold, allowing an expanded vertical presentation unique to comic books.

That will be interesting to see.

Its so depressing. But at least I got 6 One Shots, but I would trade them off against 50% of the Metal buzz

 

[Captain Skeleton]

Jeff Lemire back at DC!

They talked to the Black Eyed Peas.

So is Young Animal gonna do the crossover and jump to Vertigo where the DC tie in is no more?

 

[shingi70]

What happened to young animal?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

What happened to Young Animal?

 

[Duress]

Which John's JSA omnibus should I buy first?

 

[Captain Skeleton]

What happened to young animal?

Seems is going to be under Vertigo now? And Cave Carson and Shade are on indefinite hiatus.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

A young fan asked a series of rapid fire questions about the JSA and how they might relate to Damage and Mr. Terrific, getting cagey answers. Venditti and Lemire told the fan that he's on the right track, but couldn't confirm the connections.

I'm guessing we will not get any more JSA news until winter or stuff that deals with Doomsday clock.

 

[La Maquinon]

What happened to Young Animal?

Shade and Cave are on hiatus until January (I think?) when they will cross over. And then something about the YA characters moving into the DC main universe. I don't know what that means for YA, but it's making some of us worry.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Seems is going to be under Vertigo now? And Cave Carson and Shade are on indefinite hiatus.

Indefinite? They literally announced their return in a crossover series.

 

[Ross61]

They're only on hiatus from I think October to December. They're back in January.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I hope Doom Patrol doesn't become a DC Rebirth book. It needs to stand on its own.

 

[shingi70]

Seems is going to be under Vertigo now? And Cave Carson and Shade are on indefinite hiatus.

But Cave Carson was the only book I was buying from the line. 😭

Given the Vertigo new I hope the line starts in the dcu

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Aren't all of the YA books selling really bad?

Duke Thomas is getting his own series entitled "Batman: The Signal" co-written by Tony Patrick. The Signal will be Gotham's "hero by day."

 

[Captain Skeleton]

The newsarama article I read said

As part of this, both Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye and Shade The Changing Girl are going on hiatus in September for an undisclosed time.

 

[Sandfox]

I told you guys that Duke would be getting a book.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Aren't all of the YA books selling really bad?

That is to be expected though. These books are very experimental. Of course they're not gonna be high sellers. It's only 5 books. If these weird titles are your only low sellers then that's really good for the DC books.

 

[Ross61]

I think YA just getting folded into Vertigo. Not DCU at large even though they're already set in the DCU. And DC's more concerned by the trade sells.

 

[RedHoodedOwl]

Duke needs a new costume, because that yellow suit is hideous.

From an interview with Jeff Lemire just published a few days ago:

Recently you stopped working for Marvel Comics, and now you’re working predominantly on creator-owned projects. Speaking with you, it’s clear that you love world-building and expanding these original concepts far beyond their initial pitches. Is that the best part of creator-owned work?

Absolutely. You’ve seen, over the past few months, my career shift towards almost completely creator-owned. I’ve dropped all of my Marvel stuff. There is a reason for that. I’ve reached a point in my career where I want to tell my own stories the way that I want to tell them. I don’t want to have to over explain everything or justify every decision that I make. I just want to tell the stories that I want to tell. Image allows us to do that. And I think Descender is a good example of that. We’ve created this massive world and now we’re free to play in it. We can do whatever we want. Like I said, we had an end in mind and we’re getting close to what we thought was the end but I kind of came up with this whole new direction and we were free to follow that and we didn’t have to pitch it or justify it. And it’s great to work with that kind of confidence. You can write what you want to write and feel good about it and know that it is going to be drawn and published that way. The freedom is hard to match.

Then new DC stuff is announced.

[GAMEPROFF]

Its really the worst time for Marvel fans. I hope it doesnt take 5 years until people are excited for Marvel stuff again.
Most likely everything is canceled or at <10k units then &#128528;

Snyder laid it out a week ago, too.

"I think you guys will be surprised," Metal writer Scott Snyder told Newsarama of Duke Thomas' role. "We wanted to try something a little bit new with this one. It has echoes of [Robin], but it's actually something a little bit different that myself and the writer on Batman and a couple of the other writers came up with - a way of sort of spinning the mythology a bit. So we're really, really excited about it."

And according to Snyder, Duke's future will be handled by a newcomer writer - something that fits with Snyder's stint as a teacher for DC's Writers Program.

"I'd like [Duke] to be a character that we give someone new a chance on - you know, and I'll help with it," Snyder said. "But really try to take a risk with him and try something and see if there's room for somebody who has a different mission, different take, different things.

"You'll hear where we're headed with it at San Diego," Snyder said.
