But using the Watchmen? Goddamn, that's super lovely.

I'm super curious about everything in that. Like it's such a giant swing for the fences idea that either we're gonna get something amazing or something we can bitch about for years.

Also why the hell is Pre 52 Wally wearing a Kid Flash costume? He kind of stopped doing that 30 years ago. I guess it's so people can tell who he is but that'd be obvious with "I'm Wally West."

Maybe they just don't want to call him The Flash so he doesn't say that part of his famous line nor have the costume. Shame if he's just older Kid Flash.

Maybe he'll be Flash Boy.

Or Flashy.

I couldn't even tell you what half of these books were about. The only one there I'd even be interested in is Captain Atom, I always liked him but I remember not liking the writer on the book when it launched so I never read it. I forgot who it was though. Has DC completely abandoned the idea of Hawk people? I can't remember the last time I heard about them being in a comic.

Not even one of those books were any good and every one of them were a sales disaster.

Yo the whole Watchmen thing is straight fuckin retarded and I really hoe this is te thing that blows up so spectacularly that DC finally as to do something new

The only thing that will force DC to do something new is a top to bottom shakeup of the editorial and management. Fire every one of them and bring in new people.

DC, I am available, just FYI. I will work cheap.

I think Didio and the boys aren't even slightly worried anymore. Ever since the threat of giving control of DC to TW Book Group went away there's no publisher on hand to take over.


Edit: I mean let's be real. We all know this isn't going to revive DC, it's just another LOOK AT US WE MAKE COMICS moment that they've been pulling for the last decade.

but for that to happen they need to have something blow up so spectacularly that they just hemorrhage money to the point that WB can't ignore it

for example

rebirth being the dumbest loving thing put to paper since dave sim's spawn issue

Let's see what June brings but I don't think it will blow up that bad. I mean poo poo, I have a dude who wants 5 copies of every Rebirth #1.
