The New Age of DC Heroes

The new line is almost upon us, so I figured a thread of it's own couldn't hurt.

The New Age of DC Heroes

Especially looking forward to The Terrifics...

Obviously, I'm not betting on the books being aces all across the board, but I do appreciate this kind of a big swing. And with something like this, if even a handful end up becoming mainstays, I think that's a win.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Only one I'm really looking forward to is The Terrifics, as of right now.

 

[Gee]

Same. I might check out The Unexpected and The Immortal Men. And maybe The Silencer...

I’m with everyone else on The Terrifics. I’m also interested in The Silencer.

I think there's a lot of potential in The Immortal Men. Reviving the Challengers team should be interesting, and a different kind of book for Snyder. Talia having a role to play in The Silencer should be something, as well.

To be honest, I'd be surprised if any of these books lasted longer than a year or so. It's a bold attempt at something new - but I just can't see any of these characters generating huge long-term interest.

The excerpts to Silencer were enjoyable.

Also, how committed are the big-name creators? Are they going to produce these titles for a sustained period of time, or just bail out after a few months? I remember being tremendously excited when John Romita Jr came over to DC to draw Superman, but then he only lasted a short time. I can't see many of these writers and artists staying on these titles for the long haul.
