BC: Didio just had a talk. They expect 3-4 books from the initial wave to move to monthly in 2017. Didio's favorite book from DC is Flintstones.

Good. Please let Aquaman be one of them.
Those one-shots look fucking dumb. In for Ray I guess.

I expect Aquaman to be moved when Johns comes back for their co-written arc.
Better look at The Jetsons in here.
Another The Wild Storm character design slide here.
Why?

Totally a personal thing. Just emphasizes to me that there isn't a lot in that lineup I'm excited about, and I hate the idea of launching a book with FOUR one-shots. Like if they actually draw from those for anything important, I will probably just check out.

Linewide Marvel Max sale on CMX. Code: Max.
I hope DeathStroke doesn't turn to a monthly but Green Arrow should so that Otto can stay on it.

Then why did that dude say all three were announced at the same time?

Not announced. "Launching".
Hope DC keeps Mark Russell around by always giving him projects like they do Jeff Parker. The guys a hidden gem.

Donnie, there looks to be a Dark Horse Halloween sale on CMX. Doesn't look like there's much by Mignola in it. Hoped for that and Alien books.

I'm not sure how this happened, but...All-New is the best X-Men team book right now.
It's a low bar, I know. But ANXM has been giving us some nice, personal stories that recall the days of X-yore, even when they don't quite work. ExXM is kind of a mess. Neither story being told here is any good, and it's all so predictable. It's so easy to see where this is going and why. Whereas with ANXM's current direction, as long as I avoid the solicits, every issue feels like a cool little surprise.
And I'll take Mark "Mr. Bland" Bagley any day over the garbage Ibañez is churning out. Magik is so hideous in this arc I can barely stand to look at her.
Again, low bar. Neither book is in the "would recommend" category at the moment, but ANXM is definitely on top.

Wonder Woman's queer, so no. More representation is always a good thing though.
Well the only way to get a new copy now is to buy the overpriced omnibus that has smaller page dimensions so that's not a good choice either!
The fact that Batman is on the team and got the biggest picture bothers me.It's Batman and Lobo with a whole bunch of CW heroes.
Elektra was on the teaser for Marvel Now and the only character who doesn't have a book now is Quake, which will probably be a new SHIELD book starring
Thing.
I'm not expecting to last long, but be good enough in combination with the mini to get move Rosenberg quicky up Marvel;s ladder.
That is really good.
The previews and promoting in the media will bring the hype.
All-New is my favorite X team book.

Del Mundo's art was amazing, though.
That prep time.
Of all the characters in that book, The Ray is your selling point?
But he's the main man.
This may be the first correct thing DiDio has ever said.

Oh so you haven't read Christopher Priest's run on the character then I guess. One of the best '90s super hero comics
Or Christopher Priest's Justice League Task Force which is also super awesome

You lost me at "90's."

I'd completely agree. I just read the last issue with Cyclops and I really enjoyed it.
I wasn't completely into the Iceman issue before that just because it seemed unnecessarily wordy and kind of dragged to get to the point. Still wasn't bad, was just a down issue for me.

I really should have lost you at "90's super hero"

Been forcing myself to re-read (again) and catch up to TWD. Up to #25 so far.
No idea whatsoever how i failed to notice what a complete psycho Rick is from almost the very start.

He takes every opportunity to go full psycho right from the beginning.

Doesn't make him a bad person. He just knows what needs to get done to keep his people safe and is more adaptable to it than most. Or so we like to think.

I have ALWAYS found Rick to be a very sympathetic character. I will allow for the possibility that I am therefore a psycho but everything he has ever done has made perfect sense to me.
One exception: (prison arc)
One exception: (prison arc)
when he whacked that guy during the zombie melee. That was ice cold, Rick

Kirkman's writing has improved so much that it was hard as hell for me to re-read TWD since the dialogue used to be so clunky in the beginning. I got past the first arc and then couldn't continue past the non-Tony Moore issues.

Yeah I recently re-read it myself and had much the same experience at first...skipped up to the issues just past the prison, which include many of my favorite arcs, and it was smooth sailing from there

I came out of the first compendium thinking Rick was fine but Carl was a psycho.

Same. But I'm still going to check it out for the rest of the roster. It'd be pretty funny if it was an Uncanny Avengers situation, and Batman just goes "I can't stand Lobo" and leaves part of the way through.

Same creative team as Star Trek TNG/Doctor Who? I am in.
I still hope we get a sequel to that some day, although I guess the ending can also set up
the events of Star Trek: First Contact.

Psychopathy might be hereditary.
Not that his mother appeared to be perfectly sane either. Between those two, is no wonder Carl was blasting folks from moment 0.
JLA looks cool to me because it's a team of lesser known and diverse heroes, but of course they had to throw Batverine in for his fourth team(if you count Trinity) and give him the big overarching spot on the cover. I'm guessing DC isn't confident in the team lineup so they just threw Batman in.
With how many similiar books like these that have failed recently, I wouldn't be confident either.

So do you think the scene orlando talks about in the interview was just shoehorned in to manufacture a reason for him to lead the team?

Before this interview we had no idea why JLA would form after JLvsSS aside from Killer Frost being in the event.
it's just DC tradition tbh
