Eh, that still doesn't feel significant enough to think of it as a big event. I suppose it depends on just how many titles start because of it.

At the very least, I prefer these kinds of events that only effect a few books instead of the entire line.

God I would love it if Jetsons were a thematically perfect cousin to Flintstones, though focusing on America's hosed up sexual attitudes and gender roles rather than corporate America slowly killing itself.

Are we doing sexually awkward Jetsons pitches?

Elroy is a Hawking-level genius with Gary Coleman disease. He's actually several years older than Judy but sexually immature and frustrated since he can't reasonably attract anyone his age. He, I dunno, built ROSIE to compensate?

Judy is capable but prefers popularity to actually building a future for herself. Let's say she's had many abortions but it's the future now and we don't worry about that anymore, but maybe she wonders what it would be like to settle down and start a family , though she knows on her current path she just attracts losers and fly-by-night Beau's.

Robotic Omni-Servile Intuitive Entity, ROSIE, is a primitive AI housed in a cobbled together chassis. Let's be trite and give her the Data treatment from Star Trek -- she loves the family, but can she really ever "love"?

Jane and George are actually ok, it's just their kids that are all hosed up. Or we make them full Boomer and make it clear they've profited off of cheap robot labor, affordable ownership of aerocars and stilthomes, and have wrecked the planet they're handing off to the kids. Oops!

Mr. Sprocket is Donald Trump, and he can't get a hard-on.

Oh right the dog. Uh... poo poo... Jane backs over it with an early model RoomR robot clean-all system. Elroy successfully clones it and they never tell anyone. The dog has successively more debilitating flashbacks to its death.

- Steve Orlando is the new JLA writer

- Official description of JL vs SS

quote:

"The day that Amanda Waller has long dreaded has finally come to pass: the Justice League has discovered the existence of Task Force X! America’s paragons of truth and justice won’t take well to a government-sponsored team of black ops super-villains (with bombs implanted in their heads), but before the Justice League can shut down the Suicide Squad, a bigger problem looms: another deadly strike team is lurking in the shadows, one that could expose dark secrets throughout the DC Universe, with ties to the hidden truths of 'Rebirth.' Longtime enemies such as Batman and Deadshot, the Flash and Boomerang, and Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn will have to put aside their differences when an evil threat once thought lost to the DC Universe makes their return.”

-Tony Daniel and Jason Fabok will be on art for the core JLvsSS title while Seeley and Rob Williams will write the tie-ins

Rucka's also using Cheetah in his current WW story, and she and Diana seem to be chill with each other. Not that continuity overly matters, but they might have wanted to avoid stepping on his toes.

Feels like the penciller and the colorist aren't on the same page re: perspective on those faces. The shading is all wrong to my eyes and makes the facial features look out of whack.

none of the characters are the same so it does not matter if JLI comes back. It is dead in DCs eyes.
