Two X-Men Comic Books by Kieron Gillen and Jason Aaron is a GOOD Thing
I repeat, a good thing. Marvel is splitting the X-Men up into two different teams, one led by Cyclops and the other led by Wolverine. Kieron Gillen writing one book and Jason Aaron writing the other book? While Aaron presumably continues writing Wolverine? When you add in the other strong writers on the X-Books, like [...]
The Final Day of the DC Relaunch Announcements…
We already knew what they were going to be, so it was not AS big of a deal, but still, some interesting stuff announced today, including the highly anticipated news about Grant Morrison writing Action Comics #1 (so awesome!) with artist Rags Morales.
Gail Simone on the End of Secret Six
Gail Simone has a piece at her message board about the end of Secret Six. You can read it here. It is too bad. I will miss it!
Joe Casey and Nathan Fox Take Over Haunt in September!
Apparently, the esteemed team behind Dark Reign: Zodiac will be taking over Image’s Haunt in September. And, right there, Todd McFarlane has produced the best new creative team announcement for a September comic book that I’ve seen all week.
DC relaunching Suicide Squad, as well!
I like artist Marco Rudy and I really don’t know enough about writer Adam Glass to make a judgment either way, but I can say that the cover of the new Suicide Squad title (starring Harley Quinn, King Shark and Deadshot) is not exactly my cup of tea…
DC IS Doing a Blue Beetle Comic!
When DC made a point of talking about their character diversity, you would think that Blue Beetle would have been a bit of a lock. As one of the few prominent Hispanic superheroes, Jaime Reyes would be a good choice for a book (not to mention that Jaime Reyes is a good character, period). Well, [...]
Wildstorm, War and Western Comics Take the Stage for DC Today!
Before they presumably announce their plans for Superman tomorrow (it better involve Morrison!), DC decided to give us one last really odd mixture of titles, in what I like to call WWW: Wildstorm, War and Western comics.
DC Reveals Their Teen Titles…
And there are some major surprises mixed in there!
Tuesday Is The Day DC Decides To Blow Our Minds With #1′s
It is not that the new ongoing series that DC has revealed already have been boring or anything, as they have not, but a goodly percentage of them were just the return of comics that were already being put out by DC (Birds of Prey, Detective Comics, Batman, Batman: Dark Knight, Flash, Green Arrow, Green [...]
Batman Inc. to Return in 2012!
Phew. Thank goodness! It is a shame that we’ll only be getting a 12-issue maxi-series by Morrison and Chris Burnham to wrap things up. However, we will be getting a 12-issue maxi-series by Morrison and Burnham, so, well, you know, yay!!! Here is Morrison on the news: Batman, Incorporated will continue through to Issue #10 [...]
Dick Grayson Back As Nightwing!
As per DC’s The Source. I would think that Grant Morrison would be able to write around this, but perhaps not. I really don’t like the idea of this possibly interfering with Morrison’s work. Let’s hope that is not the case! Kyle Higgins is the co-writer of the nifty Gates of Gotham mini-series out right [...]
DC Screws With Readers’ Heads With New Batgirl #1
On the one hand, it sure appears to be Barbara Gordon as Batgirl for Batgirl #1… On the other hand, it’s written by Gail Simone, with art by Ardian Syaf and Vicente Cifuentes (good creative team). If you would trust any one writer with the proper handling of Barbara Gordon, wouldn’t it be Gail Simone? [...]
Leaked DC Relaunch Covers Reveal Six Titles, Including Detective Comics #1!
Over at DC Women Kicking Ass, Sue has some covers from upcoming DC Comics #1s. Apparently, from what I gathered from reading CBR’s message boards, some fans figured out that if you changed the name in the web address for previous covers that DC officially released earlier in the week that you could find other [...]
Thoughts on the Next Ten Announced DC Comics #1′s
DC has announced their next ten titles (launching with new #1s) and they’re an interesting mixed bag of creators. Let’s see what we have!
Grant Morrison to Write Ongoing Superman Title
See, now this is why I can’t really care about re-numbering titles. If it results in us getting a Grant Morrison-penned ongoing Superman title (which, as CBR’s Kiel Phegley reports here, we are), does it matter what the number on the cover of the book is? Great news (if thirteen years after DC should have [...]
