The DC Comics Relaunch

Jun 10, 2011 18:51

Honestly, I turn my back for a few months to move home and what happens? Skulduggery, that's what. I'm just thinking I must catch up with Dick and the gang and the next thing I know I'm staring down the barrel of a reboot. DC comics is relaunching. Fifty-two titles will survive the purge and they will all clock in at #1. To say that my jaw hit the ( Read more... )

I hadn't heard about that. It seems so... weird. Unbelievable. And just, why?!

It's a head-scratcher. So risky! I'm trying to be positive about it, but I see more cons than pros at the moment.

DC has said that some things, like Blackest Night, aren't really going to change much and I think Morrison's big 5-6 year plan is still for a large part a go. I only skimmed the comments that were made about the Bat title future and the what was said about Batman Inc.

Gail Simone hinted that Steph and Cass would still be around in Barbara's Batgirl book.

I am really looking forward to the Deathstroke title! Kyle Higgins is writing both Deathstroke and Nightwing so I started following his twitter. I like the personality I see there. I have really really high hopes he'll do well. Deathstroke, Nightwing, Red Hood and the Outlaws, and Blackhawks are the four books I know for sure I'm picking up.

It came out of left field, dude. Some characters are being shaken up a lot more than others (no, new!Tim has never been Robin -- I don't get it either), but Dick was Batman and Damian is still Robin.

I'm pretty pissed about this, but I still hope it's a short-term change, like some kind of a universe-wide Elseworld? D:

I'm excited for Blue Beetle, at least! :D

The writer on the new Titans title said people are reading into things about Tim, and somebody else has said he'll still appear in Batman from time to time..

Dick is the one I'm most worried about. They've screwed him over so many times, constantly giving away parts of his history and legacy to other people, and doing their best to ruin his personality characterization into stupidity and asshattery...I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not feeling too optimistic.

I resent Dick and Damian losing their relationship and partnership, too!

It was completely outta left field. I was gonna drop it with Batgirl Babs, but they fucking gave Jason a book. Goddammit, I almost got away. >>;;
