    Meltzer did just do the re-telling of Batman's origin that DC had a big marketing push with in Detective 27...

    Aquaman and The Others by Dan Jurgens and Lan Medina.

    Can't say I'm too excited about that either.

    Should have John Ostrander writing it

  • WiseManTobesWiseManTobes Registered User regular
    I was way more excited about that when I was misreading it as "Aquaman and the Otters"

    I was excited for it, but then I found out Jurgens is writing it. :\

    Hey I'm still reading it. I'm hoping for an Ultra Man vs. Bizarro end fight.

    Nah, they just switched it from being at the beginning of the month to being at the end of the month, starting in December.

    I think it was meant so that whatever crazyness they had in store for April could start the next week (after the event ended and revealed a big status quo shakeup, or whatever), but now I kind of have the feeling that there won't be any crazyness.

    Welp, Teen Titans has been cancelled.
    http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=50317

    To be honest, what little I read was bad, so I don't see this as a great loss. Hopefully a year down the road someone who is a good writer will come along and resurrect it.

    I can see it now, Wally shows up, sees the state of the of the DCU, and re-merges with the Speed Force.

    Scott Lobdell is free to take on another title, eh?

    I can see it now, Wally shows up, sees the state of the of the DCU, and re-merges with the Speed Force.

    Wally tries to steal the Cosmic Treadmill so he can fix things. All the heroes treat him like he's Hal Jordan during Zero Hour and they must all unite to stop him from rewriting the universe.

    Comic readers just cheer Wally on.

    He speed blitzes around, gathering the parts he needs and avoiding hurting any of the heroes. He's about to succeed! He'll restore the old universe!

    Then Superman snaps Wally's neck to stop him. The New 52 is saved.

    TT is cancelled but Tony Daniel might be leaving Superman/WW to write and draw the relaunch.

    I don't... I don't even know anymore. From what I've seen of Supes/WW it actually seems to be pretty good, since Soule is writing it, and Daniel's art worked well there.

  • AutomaticzenAutomaticzen Registered User regular
    I don't want Daniel writing a book, but anything is better than Lobdell.

    I wonder why they can't get someone with a lighter touch on Teen Titans. Pak and Azzarello (the Dr. 13 shorts were a lot of fun) are good choices.

    Didnt' even realize Baltazar had done any DCU proper work. Was the Green Team any good?

    I read the first issue and it was good. It was light hearted and a little over the top with how much money these kids had but it felt like it was trying to make the reader smile.

    Unfortunately the reader was a teenage DC who won't smile at happy crap that doesn't cuss and go hardcore so he kicked it to the curb to listen to some LMFAO.

    Everything's just a mess at DC, they already need a reboot.

    hope you guys are ready

    I will also be writing "All-New New Teen Titans", in which the Wolfman/Perez era Titans somehow arrive in the DCnU and are just utterly disgusted and confused by it.

  • HadjiQuestHadjiQuest Registered User regular
    Justice League of America is ending in April, and Justice League United is launching to replace it.

    The book is half set in Canada and half set in Space.

    Good move, DC. It was a wise decision to give that book a fresh start. This is the only thing I'm looking forward to without reservation.

    Also, full solicits are coming next Tuesday, so we've still got a wait and a couple of days for big and small announcements. I imagine we'll hear some big creative changes tomorrow and Monday, and that we'll get some group solicits over the weekend.

    looks like an interesting cast for JLU.

    if "Chris Hadfield" is the nickname of a 16 year old girl from the Cree First Nations, yes

  • UnbrokenEvaUnbrokenEva HIGH ON THE WIRE BUT I WON'T TRIP ITRegistered User regular
    if you're talking about the astronaut, not so much

  • Garlic BreadGarlic Bread i'm a bitch i'm a bitch i'm a bitch i'm a Registered User, Disagreeable regular
    So aside from the new First Nations girl, and J'onn (who doesn't really count), it's a team made up of blonde-haired white people?

    I'd say "all straight", as well, but I don't remember if we've seen anything regarding Stargirl's sexuality.

  • Garlic BreadGarlic Bread i'm a bitch i'm a bitch i'm a bitch i'm a Registered User, Disagreeable regular
    That being said, I love that Adam Strange costume.

  • TexiKenTexiKen Dammit! That fish really got me!Registered User regular
    Well all the blond haired white people are getting kicked out of other books, in a trail of tears, give them a reservation in this book.......

    ....

    .....oh.

    I don't believe that rumor because it also says Soule was offered the book and turned it down

    he'll take all the books he can write

    I'm kind of surprised that, with Justice League Dark, Justice League International, Justice League, Justice League of America, Justice League 3000, and now Justice League United, there was never a Young Justice League.

  • KyouguKyougu Registered User regular
    Huh.

    Post Forever Evil Spoilers:
    Luthor and Captain Cold join the Justice League. Superman, Green Lantern and Flash seem to be out.

    Are you, though? Are you really?

    I actually think Cold and Lex on the team is an interesting idea

    I do not think Johns will make it work well

    Hey. I have absolute faith that Captain Cold could be a hero.

    Lex being on the Justice League is pretty interesting, as long as they go with the "doesn't like Superman because he stunts human potential" Lex and not "take over the world" Lex.

    Other news: Ted Kord (and rumored Booster Gold) are coming back during/after the end of Forever Evil.

    That's how Johns has more or less always written him, so we should be in good shape. Plus Johns has been pretty good on JL with a couple exceptions, the biggest being his awful Crime Syndicate origin issues from the last few months. I kind of miss Barry and Hal being on the team, though. Hal's been gone for well over a year now.
