The paint ain’t even dry on the new 52, as well as DC promises to cull 6 crappers out of the rotation, cancelling Blackhawks, Hawk & Dove, guy Of War, Mister Terrific, OMAC, as well as static Shock—all with problem #8. The titles will make method for:
· The return of grant Morrison’s Batman, Inc. rather than being a 12-issue series that would end Morrison’s work with Batman, it’s now being promoted as a “reader friendly” new series that will in shape Morrison’s concepts into the new 52. grant will still be the writer, at least initially. Not sure exactly how I feel about this one. On the one hand, Morrison Batman is never a poor thing. On the other hand, I can’t envision it without being laden thick as well as heavy with continuity. That’s quite much what his entire run has been about: Batman’s bizarre past as well as the vast legend that exists. In fact, that was the extremely basis for Batman, Inc., in the very first place!
· A new book by James Robinson as well as Nicola Scott titled earth 2. as well as with the return of earth 2, dilemma on infinite Earths is officially out of the new 52 lexicon. The new 52 was supposed to clean up the DCU, however it turns out they just can’t wait to begin muddying it up again.
· World’s Finest featuring Power Girl, written by Paul Levitz with art by George Perez (two old timers on a very, extremely old character). The story will include PG trying to return to earth 2, which is where she started out according to her pre-New 52 origin. I’m already getting continuity-annoyance.
· Dial H. keep in mind this one? Dude dials a rotary phone thingy as well as gets powers? High concept. It’ll be written by China Mieville, finest understood for non-comic Sci Fi novels.
· G.I. Combat. So the great news is they’re dumping guy of war as well as Blackhawks, however the poor news is they’re replacing it with this. Which will be written by JT Krul. Which means it will suck wind.
· The Ravagers. seems a bit like Runaways: four youngsters with powers fleeing an evil corporate-like entity who wishes to make them be poor guys.
