GOTTA GO FIST
I got a chuckle out of Batman managing to find his way on the cover of Action Comics. Where's Dick Grayson ending up? Nightwing again? Still Secret Agent Man?

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

Are they going to announce the teams for the Fall books or will they save them for comic con? I want to know who's writing Blue Beetle, Suicide Squad, and Earth 2.

They are only keeping wally black to promote the tv show.

Yes, that's my point. Wally got sacrificed to make Barry the One True Flash again. Replacing New Wally with Old Wally would just be appeasing a slightly different set of fanboys.

I wonder, though: will they ever address the fact Barry erased his own children & grandchilren from existence?

Edit: Beaten like Barry Allen should have been for Flashpoint.

I'm so torn. It's lovely that Marguerite Bennet isn't writing WW as was originally rumored.

On the other hand, Rucka is back on the book, and that's pretty cool.

Also, looks like Supes+WW is gone for good. That's a shame.

I hope not. Move forward instead of dredging up some past event comics and rolling around in their horrible implications.

The difference is though Black Wally has only been around a year and a half and I dont think has a single fan. They should quickly bring back old wally and no ones the wiser. This is the perfect opportunity.

The whole flash continuity is a mess BUT there is a rumor that Earth 2 is now the Post-COIE earth so Wally and Barry's Grandchildren might be alive on that earth.

Supes + WW and Batman/Superman got merged into the Trinity book.

I sort of assumed Gail Simone would be writing either the Batgirl or Birds of Prey book. Odd person to let slip away considering she's currently working with Vertigo. And I wonder what that Hickman tease was about? Either he's writing JLA or Johns is, I guess.

Oh HELL no, please tell me they're not just getting rid of Jaime Reyes outright. Or did they do that already?

Someone put Linkara on suicide watch.

Edit: I am a dum-dum, thankfully Jaime lives. Now if only they can roll back his entire New52 characterisation up to this point...

Yeah there are definitely some books missing. Seems like they rolled out their big guns and the smaller stuff will be saved for later.

But drat some of these teams look amazing. Greg Rucka on Wonder Woman, Giffen on Blue Beetle, Williamson on Flash, Orlando on Supergirl are especially books I will look into grabbing.

I suspect this is less "can't announce" and more "don't actually have a creative team lined up".

I thought Super-Man was supposed to be a Lex Luthor book?

Also, apparently Earth 2 & Gotham Academy are trucking on regardless of rebirth, according to Newsarama's liveblog of the press Q&A. Guess 'Earth 2 is now the post-Flashpoint Earth' rumour was wrong.

My happiness with the revival of the classic Kid Flash costume, which I like a lot, is at odds with my disappointment that the black guy has kid in his name. Also, Damian in the Titans suuuuuucks. The past few years of Tim-led Titans did too, but that wasn't his fault. :( Might read anyway.
