[Comic] DCU Talk Up Thread!

@Blue Saint: And if this tanks what say you then?

If this bombs and their readership dips lower than it is now? Hard to say but my best guess is that DC's publishing division would shrink radically. Then I could probably see them put all their effort behind expanding the Earth One line.

Flashpost: Deadman To Star In Adventure Comics #1
DC Relaunch: My Greatest Adventure #1

The second story makes me happy since I love Weird Worlds, but more than that I think I see something. This is just speculation on my part but I think miniseries may be over with at DC come September. If DC is starting over completely why an Adventure book instead of just a Deadman one? I think DC is returning to idea of rotating features in their books. This could be a good thing since it would allow DC to tell stories about characters that have trouble supporting an ongoing with much less risk, and if a character does catch on they have a place to call home. The one piece of information I think that will confirm this is reports of a new Showcase title.

Looks like Brett Booth (JLA) is doing the art for Teen Titans #1.

And apparently Dan Didio is the brainchild behind this whole thing.

Firestorm, Hawkman , and possibly Green Arrow are hard reboots. The rest are fuzzier.

The Source provides the creative teams and some basic information. I am liking the JLI line-up, but I am curious who the woman in the lower left is though.

Looks like Green Arrow's taking a closer appearance to his Smallville counterpart.

I have a feeling it might be Donna Troy.

I have a feeling it might be Donna Troy.

Hope not, just because that is such a bland outfit... Actually I think that is just Thunder's costume. Donna needs some stars.

I am also not sure about Mister Terrific having a tattoo now, just seems to go against his character.

I have some interest in Green Arrow but I am going to have to see more before I make any conclusions.

Also not sure about Wonder Woman, though I am happy it isn't Morrison writing like the rumors stated.

I may pick up Fury of Firestorm depending on the rest of the line-up.

Of the ten titles shown only JLI is a definite buy for me.
