The Comphrensive Guide to the DC Relaunch

[red_confession]

So I've been following the reboot/relaunch whatever thing of DC's, but it became hard for me to keep track of all the titles they were coming up with.  For my ease and for everyone else, here is the complete list of the announced DC titles with their covers, writers, artists, and blurbs.  The GL Corps, Red Lanterns, and The New Guardians never

This is a great idea, thanks for putting it together. ^___^

Somehow, I'd managed to miss the Voodoo cover. I don't really know anything about her, but damn that is pretty. I might have to give it a try, come September.

I'm still squirming about some of those notably missing characters, but at least I know where Tim is now. That's something.

Thanks. After I somehow missed the announcement for The Red Hood and the Outlaws, I went "okay time to find one big list... Wait, what do you mean they don't have one? *cracks fingers*"

There are a couple of those titles that look intriguing, Voodoo is definitely one of them. I might pick up Resurrection Man as well.

Yeah, especially after all of the other (male) bats were placed, it was like "where's Tim?" I can't believe I didn't even think of the Teen Titans. I'm such a bad fan.

Thank you SO MUCH for making this list!

Yeah, I got surprised at the lack of Super titles as well. A bunch of them are probably those "yet to be revealed" titles, but I'm still crossing fingers for Cass and Steph showing up in one of them.

They are doing the debuts in themed groups. All the bat titles were 1 day, the 'supernatural' books another, the 'teen' books yesterday... the Superman titles will all be released in one big block in the next day or so is my guess.

[red_confession]

Your welcome! It's hard to keep up with everything they're coming out with.

What coldfiredragon said. What I'm more surprised about is that DC doesn't think the Supes titles are interesting enough that they gave away details of "DC's Dark side (Voodoo through I,Vampire) before big blue. Granted, those titles are some of the most intriguing (and original) on the list, but still Big Blue is arguably the most iconic DC/Comic Book characters, and Captain Atom gets a confirmed ongoing before him? Sounds really, really odd.

And I'm REALLY hoping they just forgot to add "Kickass besties Cass and Steph fighting crime" in their Bat titles, because that would be the greatest thing ever.

[coldfiredragon]

They will probably end with the set of Super titles, because they know that its something everyone wants so they are ramping up expectations. It was kinda the same thing when they released the Batman titles with no mention of Timmy. The forums buzzed 'Where's Tim?' for days then when the Titans announcement came out everybody pounced on it.

Its very savvy of them in all honesty. They kicked off the announcement with a mix of 10 titles, then gave us the Lanterns, then the Bats, then more middle generic niche comics in the middle. Honestly, if you announce your Bat, Super, and Lantern titles ALL in the first salvo who really cares what comes after? You have the majority of your fanbase sated because they know where their favorite heroes are.

This announcement structure's all about holding public interest.

This is fantastic, thank you for putting this together :D

[red_confession]

You're welcome! I plan on updating it with the new releases if you want to keep checking back :)

Wally West appears to a notable missing character, as well. (Kid Flash is likely Bart Allen, although I lack a source to back that up.)

[red_confession]

Very true, I'll add him. I love Wally and was kind of hoping he'd be in the Flash title (it hints that Barry can't be in two places at once, and what would he do when he faces someone who could? What better than two flashes, but I think I might be giving DC too much credit there). I also realized the JSA, the Captain Marvel family, and Outsiders weren't mentioned yet as well.

Oooo, awesome list, my lovely!

I'm quite intrigued by the art of Animal Man. Oh, and of course, John Constantine in Justice League Dark! I'm going to have to start buying comics on a regular basis...

[red_confession]

It's my Production Assistant-ness at work. This is basically what I do for work, but with icky sports instead of badass comics.

Animal Man seems to be a book right up your Vertigo-loving alley. I would pick up some trades of his older stuff. Same with Voodoo, Resurrection Man, and Justice League Dark.

You should buy comics on a regular basis. Or you could go the digital route (but I'm not the hugest fan of the digital route, not until they fix it a bit at least).
