DC Relaunching Everything?

[Nightwing Z]

@JNX: Probably. It's very saddening, since Damian might be wiped out too.

 

[yenaled]

What'd he do??

He's a black hole of characterisation. GLC was excellent when it was Kyle and Guy they had a proper good relationship, Stewart comes in and title tanks massivly. Leading to Stewart doing only what he is good at and blowing up another planet ([BLACKOUT]Mogo[/BLACKOUT]).

Hell going back in time Justice League was the best it's ever been then Kyle got swapped out for Stewart and it hasn't been good since.

GLC now relaunching with Guy and Stewart and I can guarantee Stewart sucks the life out of that too.

 

[Mr. Earle]

so......with this relaunch or reboot........what's going to happen to characters like Kara Supergirl or Cassandra Cain?

are they now going to be wiped out of existence?

I doubt Supergirl will be erased forever. There is a possibility that they ll erase her for now, only to reintroduce her a bit later like they did a few years ago.

Thing is that they want to have a girly book for the girls and SG is probably gonna be it. I heard that they re getting rid of midriffs (good) and skirts (bad), so if she stays prepare for a massive facepalm when you see her suit.

Personally, i'm hoping that she'll be leading the Titans (or YJ or whatever they re gonna call the team), along with Damian, Jaime, Miss Martian, Blaqualad, and perhaps one or two more guys/girls.

He did what? WHY?

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

Why are they keeping J.T. Krul on Green Arrow who was doing a terrible job to the character?
Really, most of the times I don't get DC. At least they're probably getting rid of the Batman Inc. crap.

GREEN LANTERN #1
Geoff Johns has been charting the adventures of Hal Jordan and the GREEN LANTERN Corps since GREEN LANTERN: Rebirth, collaborating with such major artists as Ethan Van Sciver, Darwyn Cooke, Prentis Rollins, Marlo Alquiza and Mick Gray.
This fall, Johns reunites with artists Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy, as the series begins anew with GREEN LANTERN #1 with cover by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado. Together they will continue to thrill readers and expand the Green Lantern mythos.
Change is coming. But set aside your fear. It’ll be worth the wait.
Additional titles include:
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #1
When deadly conflicts emerge across the universe, it’s up to Guy Gardner, John Stewart and an elite Green Lantern strike force to keep the peace.
GREEN LANTERN CORPS#1 will be written by Peter J. Tomasi with art by Fernando Pasarin and Scott Hanna. The cover to #1 is by Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy.
GREEN LANTERN: THE NEW GUARDIANS #1
Who are The New Guardians?
The power of Rage, Avarice, Fear, Will, Hope, Compassion and Love combine to be the most powerful (and colorful) team in the corps under the leadership of Kyle Rayner. Beware their power . . . and their volatility!
GREEN LANTERN: THE NEW GUARDIANS #1 will be written by Tony Bedard and illustrated with cover by Tyler Kirkham and Batt.
RED LANTERNS #1
Going solo. Atrocitus and his Red Lantern Corps return in their own series, battling against injustice in the most bloody ways imaginable. This Lantern Corps takes no prisoners, they are judge, jury and executioners!
RED LANTERNS #1 will be written by Peter Milligan with art and cover by Ed Benes and Rob Hunter.

Seems like i'm gonna go broke getting all the GL books. Especially the last two sound amazing (even if i dont know Bedard and even if i'm expecting massive amounts of gore in the Red Lantern book)!

Damn that is a shame. He was such a great character on the cartoon, it sucks they couldn't translate that over to the comics.

 

[HighFivingMF]

He did what? WHY?

Spoiler

Because Mogo was possessed by Parallax and spitting out rings left and right making more Parallax-possessed Lanterns to be evil. So he made Mogo be exploded.

[yenaled]

He did what? WHY?

Because it's the only shtick he has.

 

[Mr. Earle]

How the hell can Benes and Krull (Liefield and Greg Land as well) still be in the industry?

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Benes is a good artist, his women are just too titified.

 

[Anubis]

Nah, because he beat up governors and crooked mine owners.

No heroes anymore beat up governors and crooked mine owners, with any hearts or dialogues or artworks.



It would have been a much better post if he had.

Black Summer by Warren Ellis.

Superhero Killed the President.

 

[Mr. Earle]

Benes is a good artist, his women are just too titified.

He pioneered the "**** and ass" pose and he excels at it.

But yeah he's not horrible.

 

[Mystirious]

So it looks like the relaunch is definitely not a reboot

That makes me

He did what? WHY?

Because he is a racist planet hating dbag

 

[Mr. Earle]

 

[Mystirious]

Hahaha you know I am right

Spoiler

Poor Mogo

black people dont like planets...we are a space-faring people

 

[Pyro Man]

I'll just take the comparison to Shakespeare as a massive compliment and drop the subject. If you had a more open mind, you'd actually get to see some Golden and Silver Age comics that would blow your mind with the level of quality and the variety of genres. Why anyone would choose ignorance is beyond me. But then again, I have a 19 year old nephew who refuses to listen to the Beatles, so I guess a lot of young people are unwilling to learn about anything that isn't brand new. I was never that way...I think I was 13 the first time I bought a copy of Citizen Kane and the very first comic I ever bought had a Golden Age reprint story in it.

This doesn't sound too different from what I encounter with people in other mediums. I can't for the life of me get my friends to appreciate any films or music released pre 1980 (and even the 80s stuff they like is just for the cheesy charm) and the few friends I have that read books, forget about getting them to pick up any classics. People just have a natural resistance towards appreciating older things in any medium while theres the select few in younger generations that are willing to give old stuff a shot. Its an unfortunate reality.

 

[SouLeSS]

That's because any comic from the golden ages is full of 9 panel pages that have more words in them than an entire arc from Bendis. On every page.

You people need to accept the fact that, not everybody is gonna like that old s**t. I love me some Fat Domino and Chuck Berry. But I understand that some, hell, most people aren't gonna be into that old s**t. I'm not gonna sit up here and call them philistines or whatever because they aren't into what I'm into. Especially when I can understand why they wouldn't like what I like. What I think of as folksy and a nice peak into life of the times, others might see as hokey and racist. I play at being an elitist, but in reality, I'm just not that big of a *****e bag.

are they now going to be wiped out of existence?

Kara will be fine, since she's 1. silver agey, and 2. a terrible character.

 

[yenaled]

When it comes to Golden Age, everyone should read Stardust, the Space Wizard because it's the best thing ever.

I actually went out of my way to buy them, as they collected Fletcher Hank's work recently.

Black Summer by Warren Ellis.

insane Superherovillain Killed the President.

At every point in that story, he was depicted as an insane former hero and a menace who had to be stopped.

 

[Anubis]

Much like a super strong alien throwing regular people around like rag dolls.
