I'm actually really curious to see how this goes. One of the legit rumor dropping guys said he had it on good authority that the Mary Jane and daughter from Renew Your Vows were going to make it into the new Marvel Universe post SW alongside the original Mary Jane. So we'd then have two versions of MJ walking around and supposedly Peter would remember his history with both of them. It's one thing for heroes to meet other versions of themselves, that's old hat. How often have we had depictions of a normal person on the street having to deal with an evil twin?

I still can't figure out what the point of that would have been.

Spider-Man's Amazing Construction Company
New52 Lois retires into obscurity after Clark Kent (new52 Superman) and Superman (Lois&Clark Superman) are seen together and she becomes a laughingstock for her "story of the century" being publicly "disproven."

She dyes her hair, changes her name to Cat Grant, and starts a media company in a new city when suddenly Supergirl moves to town.

Nobody is talking about JL3001 or JL3002 is that not going to be a thing? Because if not Blue Beetle will be my only DC pull.

Did Blue Beetle and Booster Gold even show up in JL3001, after their reintroduction at the end of JL3000?

From what I've heard, there is no mention of a JL3002, just the Giffen Blue Beetle(s) series.

I wasn't but I forgot he's on Scooby Apocalypse, so that was a dumb thing to say.

Scooby's actually the whole original JL3K creative team :)

While they didn't mention all of the books at that showcase, JL3K wasn't on the lineup that they announced a month before that. It's over as far as we know.

Has this been posted yet? Greg Rucka did a mini Q&A on his Wonder Woman book while also taking potshots at Brian Azzerello & Cliff Chang's Wonder Woman run:

http://ruckawriter.tumblr.com/post/141734737228/explication-and-elaboration

BONUS: He even answered a question on his bizarre love/hate relationship with DC management:

quote:

Q: I thought you hated DC. You’re a terrible hypocrite, and I will never read anything you write ever again.

I never hated DC. I had enormous problems with my relationship with them for a long time, ultimately bruising enough that I didn’t work for them for seven years (not counting a short-story for American Vampire, as Scott Snyder’s request, and writing Kate, Renee, and Helena for two issues in Convergence). I feel they did badly by me. I am certain they feel I did poorly by them.

When I was offered this job, I discussed it extensively with my family, and I discussed it extensively with the people at DC I would be beholden to and working with. The result of all those conversations was such that I felt sufficiently assured to try again. Everyone is trying to make right.

And they were offering me the chance to write for Diana.

I am 46 years old, and have learned the hard way that making absolute declarations often leads to having to eat your words somewhere down the line. If the fact that I have changed in the last seven years, and that DC’s relationship with me has similarly changed, does not seem a fair reason to return to write stories for Diana… I do not know what to tell you other than you are entitled to your opinion, and I think you’ll be missing out on some good comics.


I wonder if Rob Liefeld will change his tune next. Last I heard he left on a sour note and was beefin with Scott Snyder.

Presumably the end of the current series will transition, but changing scenery is an ultra common thing new runs do.
This last team did it to distinguish themselves from Gail Simone's comics, though this is probably going to be a bit softer since it's coming off a well regarded and popular run (ie: The costume looks the same.)

I respect his argument of "Yeah, poo poo was pretty bad, but I'm willing to give it another shot" over the usual canned PR "No, see, things were fine, everyone was just overselling it."

Bryan Hitch/Tony S Daniel Justice League with the basic cast minus Hal. There's the Power Ring girl, Jessica Cruise and Simon Baz there instead.

There will be a Justice League of America, but they gave no details, so hopefully it'll be a bit more impressive that that.

The DC June solicits confirm that both Superman and Action Comics are about the Pre-N52 Superman. So I'm guessing that N52 is just Clark now.

Crazy prediction: Superwoman is Nu52 Superman finally coming out as transgender.

(I am not serious. A transgender superhero could be really awesome and I'd have to give DC applause for making such a big character transgender, but there is no way in hell modern DC would take that kind of risk)

It's so funny that Lois and Clark has transitioned from a Convergence spin-off to one of the most important comics in the lead up to this thing.

Boo on them not changing any logos.
Maybe it's possible they're temp. Wonder Woman's doesn't sit right on the new mythical type art.
And hopefully the Rebirth trade dress only sticks around for #1s.

Since there still hasn't been news of an Injustice 2 in years, it has to just be selling well.

It is supposedly being worked on currently though. There was speculation a while ago it was going to coincide with BvS but obviously not.

I don't mind comics only lasting a year. Those are decent runs. I just don't like that there aren't so many unique comics in that spirit to replace them.

Definitely read Martian Manhunter and Midnighter.
