The big one is probably Mike Carey”s The Unwritten; and wouldn’t it be wonderful if it lasts longer than Crossing Midnight?

Hickman on FF is another one, I was actually praying for that, it’s been a long time since that title was exciting. And Cornell on Young Avengers – perfect!

I’d like to say batgirl, but i need to be sure that it’s Cassandra Cain not Barbara Gordon.

Batwoman coming into Detective Comics – the preview pages looked sensational.

First is definately the return of Genis-Vell followed somehwat closely by Hickman on FF or, as I call it, the best news since Waid left.

And speaking as someone who was at the DC panel, they came off standoffish, abrupt and fairly rude… and that was just Didio.

Eh? Kon-El was already in the post Zero Hour Legion long before Johns had anything to do with it, and I’m sorry but anyone following Johns’ work can see that Adventure Comics was foreshadowing Kon-El becoming a Black Lantern, not a Legionnaire. Plus, Lightning Saga was when Waid was still writing the Legion, before Shooter came back to it, so you’re wrong there too.

And how is ignoreing the Giffen run any more disrespectful than all the reboots the Legion’s had? And the main character in Adventure Comics is Starman – a Legionnaire. The Legion are at the front of this book, not a back-up.

Carey and Gross on Unwritten, Hickman and Eaglesham on Fantastic Four, and Kyle, Yost and dell’Otto on X-Force: Sex and Violence. (What can I say? X-Force is pretty much my ultimate guilty pleasure series right now.)

I love the idea of JH Williams doing ANY regular book, but am dubious as to whether it will be a reality. Remember when he was supposed to be the regular artist on Detective like two years ago? What’d that last, one issue?

Was Hickman on FF announced prior to the show? Surprised no one has listed that.

‘Pet Avengers’, the same as everyone else!

Rucka/Williams on ‘Detective’. The art is absoluely gorgeous, and I’m a sucker for redheads anyway. Especially redheads that can beat you up. That’s hot.

I was really bummed to hear Immonen isn’t going to be on ‘USM’ for much longer, as I’ve been loving recent issues based pretty much solely on the art and was hoping he was gonna stick around for a while, at least until Bendis actually got around to doing something plot-wise. But on the other hand, I hate the art on ‘New Avengers’ just now so I should be happy that that book, which lives or dies by its art for me, is getting someone so ridiculously good on pencils.

@Marcus Brute

If Grant is writing it, yes.

For me, I think Vertigo’s announcements in general had me the most excited; sure some of it was old news, but the direction of the entire line for next year had me tingling (and supposedly a bit more unannounced)…from dollar first issues to Daytripper getting a release date (or has had one for awhile, I honestly forgot about this), Mike Carey and Gross getting another title, more Seaguy, Greek Street, V. Lolos on Northlanders, all amazing.

also

Seth Meyers, Kevin Maguire, and Bill Hader on a Spider-Man oneshot, S. Immomen on New Avengers, LaFuente on Ult. Spider-man, Hickman on FF!

One question I did have, was there any significant Top Shelf or D&Q news? I kept looking online and didn’t notice anything.

I don’t even read Yotsuba and I was so happy to hear someone had managed to wrest the license out of ADV manga’s decaying corpse. It always breaks my heart to see a basically good and appealing title fall into licensing limbo hell.

Williams and Rucka on Detective.
For a whole year.
Good times.
(Although it will be another year or so before DC releases half the book in a slim HC, and then another year before they release the second half).

That said, that Batman panel was pretty shite, wasn’t it?
I ended up skimming over it when reading the CBR report.
Couldn’t figure out what was going on at all.
They get that the readers who came over for Morrison and Dini probably don’t care about half those projects they announced don’t they?

Wait, wait wait! Forget all that. The best news has to be Immonen on New Avengers!

Dale Eaglesham and Jonathan Hickman on Fantastic Four. Besides the Rucka/Williams III Detective, this is the only announcement that made me say “I’ll buy it!” even if all I heard was the announcement.
