So many creative teams. Is it a giant multi-story thing?
Yeah it's probably gonna be a 10 dollar book like the Holiday special
100+ pages, bound with a spine, the whole shebang
From the earlier anouncement:
It will be published on 17th April 2018 as Action Comics #1000: 80 Years of Superman, a 168 page hardcover volume, for $29.99 US or $39.99 Canadian.
Nope, that's different. That's a separate collection they are releasing at the same time. Action Comics #1000 is confirmed to be 80 pages and cost 6.99

BATMAN #45
Written by TOM KING • Art by TONY S. DANIEL and SANDU FLOREA • Cover by TONY S. DANIEL • Variant cover by OLIVIER COIPEL
Retailers: This issue will ship with two covers. Please see the order form for details.
“THE TRAVELERS” part one! Booster Gold has come to Gotham City, and he’s enlisting Batman and Catwoman to go on a time-traveling mission to rescue…Booster Gold! It seems a younger Booster Gold has gone back in time to kidnap an even younger version of himself, and to rescue his own past, Booster must pursue both of his previous incarnations through Batman’s history to find out what is going on. The start of a new story that will sow the seeds for a whole new epic to come—and also the return of Master Class artist Tony S. Daniel (DAMAGE) to BATMAN!
Yes give me Tom King Batman and Booster Gold.
Looks like Tony Daniel is off of Damage and JRjr is off Silencer? I thought the whole thing about New Age of Heroes is that the artists are the big deal, so I wonder what happened there (not that I'll miss JRjr)

We already know Ivan Reis is tagging out with Doc Shaner on the second arc of Terrifics so I am assuming they will have rotating art teams
Apparently Deathstroke vs. Batman is taking place in the Deathstroke ongoing, but is intentionally stand alone for new readers to jump on. The plot has Slade and Bruce fighting over Damian, after Bruce receives seemingly ironclad DNA evidence that Slade is Damian's actual father.
The only exposure I have to Priest's Deathstroke is from the holiday special and I don't know if I want to read a book about that dude
Especially if it's about the topic of fatherhood in any way

I really recommend you try the first trade at least
It's dark as fuck and I don't blame you if it doesn't land or is too fucked
But it's one of the absolute best books around right now and by far the boldest, most experimental book coming out from Marvel and DC proper right now

I wouldn't say most experimental (I'd give that to Young Animal or Mister Miracle), but it's definitely different than most superhero comics.
Priest writes Deathstroke as a terrible man that knows he's a terrible person and accepts it. Slade is usually the narrator and you're never sure if you can trust what he's saying.
I don't remember the Deathstroke holiday story, but the main book is definitely worth checking out. I could definitely see it being a TV (mini) series

See I consider Young Animal, like, a sub brand rather than DC itself which is why I said DC Proper
It is absolutely not as insane as Doom Patrol or Cave Carson
I think Moore’s entire run of Swamp Thing is excellent. Nice mix of subtle horror and philosophy. I will agree that the last few issues get weird, but tells a story of Alec trying to get home.
I also love the recurring theme of the Justice League showing up in early Vertigo stuff to mostly go OH JEEZ THIS IS ALL WEIRD BULLSHIT WHAT DO WE DO OH JEEZ

My girlfriend has the first 3 volumes of Moore's Swamp Thing so I sat down and read the first one and
Huh
Turns out Alan Moore was real good at writing comic books at one point, huh
While I enjoyed his major works when I read them, the DC trade of Alan Moore stories (one or two issue stories from various comics) is my favorite. I can appreciate his talent and what he's done for comics, but I prefer him with more editorial restraint
So Doomsday Clock #3 had 2 big reveals. I liked one a lot and am...apprehensive about the other one.
New Rorschach is just a random kid who survived the attack on NYC by Veidt, not the newspaper kid or Rorschach's psychiatrist as many were guessing.
The other is that Doctor Manhattan appears to have made a duplicate of The Comedian and brought him into the DCU immediately after his death in Watchmen. If that's all there is to it then NOPE BAD but I expect there is more going on.
Also for the whole ITS DOCTOR MANHATTAN CLASHING WITH SUPERMAN FOR THE SOUL OF THE DCU boy we have gotten very little Superman so far

there's definitely something more going on with The Comedian. Doomsday Clock takes place "twelve months ahead of the current DC Universe" (said before it started getting delayed) so I think every little piece is deliberate

I am totally fine with it being a sequel to Watchmen

it's not altering the story of Watchmen st all.
All of it took place years before Doomsday Clock, so the Comedian still dies at the beginning of Watchmen. Him appearing in the future in the DCU doesn't affect his death in the Watchmen universe

Even if he dies in the same exact way, having it changed to "Comedian actually got yanked into the DCU for a while and got up to hijinks there before getting thrown back into the Watchmen timeline to fall to his death" is absolutely changing Watchmen for me

We don't know the specifics yet
All that has happened is it showed Comedian falling to his death and then blacking out and waking up in Metropolis with Manhattan
So either he made a copy or yanked him out of the timeline and will put him right back to ensure Watchmen still happens
If it is the former, okay sure whatever, if it is the latter I am not a fan. Hence my apprehension.
Manhattan can probably copy The Comedian down to the atom. What's the difference between the orginal and a perfect copy? To me there is none.
I don't care about the accuracy of the copy
If he makes a copy, it means Watchmen still happened exactly as it is presented noe
If he doesn't and yanks Blake out of the timeline and then puts him back, it changes what happened in Watchmen, even if it doesn't impact how the story itself progresses
