"Dick" being lettered identically every time is a huge tipoff.

I was never really familiar with the teen titans outside of a couple of episodes of the cartoon, but reading the last couple of pages I have a (completely honest) question. is Starfire's real name really just 'coriander' spelled in an alien way? Is that like a joke like the names in Dragon Ball Z, or am I just reading the made up alien name wrong?

The new GN people are talking about is already a failure in my eyes because they didn't name her daughter Rosemary.

It's very jarring to realise that a prominent comics character I've been sort of peripherally aware of since 2003 has been named after a herb this whole time.

Coriander and her sister Commander from the planet Tamarind. Of course her brother's named Ryand'r and mother is named Luand'r so it's sometimes just good old 'human name w/noise'

Mr Hootington posted:Remember when one year later had the teen titans gain 20+ new and interesting members including The Face and the writers spent the next year killing the characters or making them evil. Hell yeah. I remember thinking Sean McKeever was going to help pull the book out of its rapid decline because he was really good with the teen supers, right? Gravity, Nomad/Young Allies/Sentinel etc? And then he comes on you got things like Ravager kicking her one-night stand out of her bed telling him to leave before she cut it off. Unsurprisingly, much later McKeever would say on Twitter that the editor was basically writing Titans at this point.

He got a series at the outset of New 52 alongside Stormwatch and Voodoo when they were trying to more aggressively fold in Wildstorm content with some metaplot with the Daemonites and such that even roped in other series like Demon Knights (before it got canceled). Some of the characters stuck around like Apollo and Mignighter, most of the rest didn't. Grifter mostly didn't either but someone there liked him enough to cameo in poo poo dspite his series cancelation.

The Zdarsky story is a six issue Batman/Red Hood tale. Not sure how many pages each chapter is. I am definitely interested in this book though. The Harley Quinn story will be written by the same writer as her ongoing series.

DC and Marvel should work out a deal to allow Gambit and Grifter to swap names. And ohhhh, I don't know... how about Wolverine and Baby Wildebeest too.

You'll be pleased to know that DC hasn't bothered doing anything with The Griffin in nearly three decades. Less happily, they haven't given any steady work to Keith Griffen in over a year, ever since his and Jeff Levine's Inferior Four book got Corvid Canceled.

Gaz-L posted:I had let a bunch of books pile up in my Comixology due to various other things taking my attention/life stuff over the last couple years, and now due to covid and working from home I finally manage to make it through it (with the exception of ditching Nightwing once I got to the Lobdell run, made it about half an issue in and couldn't take any more). Which included about 80 issues of Wonder Woman, and then I finally got around to going through the original Rucka run and finally am making my way through the Simone stuff now.

Did Chip have an exclusive contract with Marvel? I'm loving his Daredevil run and this makes me worried that it's either gonna end sooner than expected or that he won't get to write more Marvel characters. Also, just finished Rucka's Wonder Woman Rebirth run and I kind of liked it but also ended up slightly dissapointed about some stuff (did we ever get more of an origin for Cheetah?)

I think the era of exclusive contrasts is pretty much over, but as good as he is Zdarsky isn't like a huge deal (sales wise) so why bother signing him to one? I can't see him stopping at Marvel, and who would ever turn down writing Batman? He is definitely one of my top three current writers, so if Marvel was smart they would sign him and Tom Taylor as exclusives.

Rucka's run does leave a lot of unresolved plotlines, unfortunately. They eventually do get resolved...waaaaay later, by other writers...but yeah.
