Without spoiling too much, I think it was really bold of Grant to have all the preview images we've seen of the book be the only appearances of Diana in the whole book, and after she dies the whole book becomes about Grail becoming the new Wonder Woman.

Harley Quinn/Suicide Squad April Fools Special has about four pages that are secretly Suicide Squad Rebirth and should make people happy.

I really don't want to buy a Harley Quinn comic but I do like Suicide Squad. Is the stuff a reboot of sorts or what happens?

Teenage Fansub
Jan 28, 2006

The comic is mainly a cute little thing about Harley becoming a therapist for villains in an adorable art style (Jim Lee has less than half of the pages,) then the justice league bust it up and capture her.
Then...
It turns out FAT WALLER was keeping Quinn in some brainwashing room to turn her onto some superhero killing mission she's put together.
No explanation if Waller is a Convergence crossover thing Superman style, or what.

It's by Rob Williams who's taking Squad.

Coming of the Supermen is a massive disappointment for me in comparison to Odyssey just because every issue doesn't start with sexy naked Clark Kent trying to seduce me by recapping.

What's it like? I got the earlier version of vol 1 which has the matte paper (which I prefer) and was a bit annoyed when vol 2 had the shiny paper.

Dunbar
Feb 21, 2003

It doesn't really feel like either Vol 1 or 2 to me. It's a lot thicker and rougher, almost like newsprint. If you have any of the New Teen Titans volumes, it sort of feels like that.

Pitchfork was wrong. (f)lowers of Algerbong is crap.
Holy poo poo, DC gave Gerard Way his own imprint at DC called "Young Animal"

The first 4 books announced for it thus far are:

quote:

The first book is 'Doom Patrol,'" Way said. It'll be written by Way, and illustrated by Nick Derington. "It's really weird," Way said. It'll pay tribute not just to Grant Morrison's famed run on the series, but the history of Doom Patrol.

Also coming from Young Animal: "Shade, The Changing Girl" from writer Cecil Castellucci and artist Marley Zarcone. Cover by Becky Cloonan. "It's another alien, a woman alien, who's hiding in the body of a teenage girl that used to be a bully," Way said. "She has the Madness Vest. The Madness is kind of taking over."

Another Young Animal book: "Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye." Written by Way and Jon Rivera with art by Michael Avon Oeming. Way said that the comic will deliver on its promise of indeed explaining why Cave Carson -- a sci-fi spelunker introduced by DC back in 1960 -- has a cybernetic eye.

Rounding out the lineup: "Mother Panic," written by Jody Houser, with art by Tommy Lee Edwards and John Paul Leon (covers by Edwards). "This one is set in Gotham," Way said. It'll focus on a new character. Lee pointed out that "Mother Panic" is a mature readers book.

DC is getting nuts.

Gerard Way's getting his own Vertigo-lite imprint called Young Animal.

Gerard Way joined the panel, and announced that he has his own imprint at DC, called, "DC's Young Animal." "DC is letting me have an imprint called Young Animal. The first book is 'Doom Patrol,'" Way said. It'll be written by Way, and illustrated by Nick Derington. "It's really weird," Way said.

They're also doing a Challenge-style Kamandi book with teams made at random

quote:

Another announcement! In the spirit of 1985-1986's "DC Challenge," a 12-issue series where 12 teams of creators told one story, round-robin style, DiDio announced the "Kamandi Challenge," where 12 writers and 12 artists were "carefully selected" and then paired at "random" to tell a story starring Jack Kirby's Kamandi, The Last Boy On Earth.

Here are the teams: Dan Abnett & Dale Eaglesham, Peter J. Tomasi & Neal Adams, Amanda Conner & Jimmy Palmiotti, James Tynion IV & Carlos D'Anda, Bill Willingham & Ivan Reis, Steve Orlando & Philip Tan, Marguerite Bennett & Dan Jurgens, Keith Giffen & Steve Rude, Tom King & Kevin Eastman, Greg Pak & Joe Prado, Rob Williams & Walter Simonson, Gail Simone & Ryan Sook and Len Wein & José Luis García-López. (Yes, that's 13 teams.)

Way ahead of you!

Vertigo made great comics this year, but nobody cared, so Way rumored to be coming on to help that out sounded okay.
Whatever it is, if we couldn't have the DCYou thing, a spot still open for goofball ideas while the mainline is doing 'legacy' is all good!
ee: In fact everything they're doing outside of Rebirth is totally weirdo. It's heartening.

I hope they re-issue the original Challenge.

I was at the announcement at ECC and the way Gerard described the flimsy premise was hilarious. Basically he read about a character in some who's who book and came across a character whose only characteristic was that he had a cybernetic eye and he wants the book to explore why this guy has a cybernetic eye.

From the way all the books sounded Way was just coming up with ideas but nothing absolute solid had been done yet. Right now it's just brainstorming.

I think everybody who's ever seen that map of Kamandi's world has wanted to try to make Kamandi a thing if only so they can write a story set in the Kangarat Murder Society.
