DC is announcing 5 new books and 2 new creative teams at NYCC. Aquaman will be bumped down to a monthly title as will Cyborg.
New Teams: Action Comics: Gail Simone and Patrick Zircher/Tyler Kirkham Titans: Sterling Gates and Trevor McCarthy
New Titles: Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy: Amy Chu and Elsa Charretier WildC.A.T.s: Steve Orlando and Jim Lee Justice Society of America: Sam Humphries and Dale Eaglesham Gen 13: Scott Lobdell and Ed Benes Super Sons: Patrick Gleason and Jorge Jiminez
Everything else seems pausible (except for Abnett leaving titans since he's essentially following what was established in DC Rebirth #1) so if this turns out to be true go fuck yourself with a cactus
>Action Comics: Gail Simone and Patrick Zircher/Tyler Kirkham i actually want this
Mason Howard
>Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy: Amy Chu and Elsa Charretier >WildC.A.T.s: Steve Orlando and Jim Lee >Justice Society of America: Sam Humphries and Dale Eaglesham >Gen 13: Scott Lobdell and Ed Benes >Super Sons: Patrick Gleason and Jorge Jiminez You better not be screwing with us here, OP.

Anyone who believes this is retarded.
Owen Gomez
>Elsa Charretier she's gonna be on marvel's wasp book user
Ian Perez
Wasn't supposed that Orlando would write JSA?
And didn't Gail hint that she was going to write the upcoming Thundercats comic?
Carter Brooks
hes doing JLA
Andrew Fisher
Gail was bretty good on New52 Secret Six.
Nathan Hughes
Ed Benes deserves better than Gen13
Carson Jackson
Wildstorm announcements are confirmed for NYCC.
Aaron Butler
>Ed Benes drawing hot teenaged girls
You don't want that?
Angel Edwards
>More Harley shit >No Shazam
Hudson Turner
>Brazilian drawing comic with lots of asses. Benes is perfect for Gen13.
Jeremiah Rivera
>Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy: Amy Chu and Elsa Charretier Does that mean Ivyfags would finally get their wish or is it a monkey paw situation?
Dominic Johnson
Yeah i don't believe these either. At least not all of them.
Bentley Evans

Evan Ward
>Justice Society of America: Sam Humphries and Dale Eaglesham disgusting
Kevin Wilson
Monkey's paw, the Ivy League can't stand Harley and Ivy just being Harley's loyal gf.
Would be hilarious if this were true.
Michael Thomas
I'll take anybody over Jurgens for Action. But she better be gone before we get to 1000
Justin Nelson
>Gen 13
That's good
>Scott Lobdell
That's bad
>and Ed Benes
That's good.
>and Ed Benes
But also bad
Kayden Scott
Ed Benes should write and draw a comic book with Brazilian superheroines.
Daniel Baker
This.
Pretty clear that it's BS.
Lincoln Gray
>Action Comics: Gail Simone
I want it.
Owen Campbell
Harley is a much better character than that superman clone :^)
Hunter Rodriguez
Lobdell/Benes sounds comfy as fuck.
Jeremiah Kelly
...
William James
>Jim Lee >being able to draw more than 3 issues a year Yeah I call bullshit.
Brody Johnson
Didn't you like Zero Hour? Dan Jurgens defined DC in the 90s
Charles Johnson
>Action Comics: Gail Simone I... I don't know if I want this. but I am confused.
Ian Howard
Simone is a hack feminazi neocon.
Jayden Martinez
He can't even draw one full issue of Suicide Squad lol
Justin Rodriguez
Isn't he doing suicide Squad bi-weekly? Jurgens is overstaying his welcome. I'd like to see what Gail can do in action. Damn, we're getting so close to 1000. It seems like an event too big to be written by a single writer, we'll probably get several stories in a giant size issue.
Ryan Smith
>Aquaman will be bumped down to a monthly No it wont its selling fine and there still working on his long term push.
Jose Ward
At least it come's with a free frogurt?
Ryder Ramirez

Joshua James
>Isn't he doing suicide Squad bi-weekly? Even with *months* of lead time, he hasn't been able to draw a full issue. And the commonly accepted rumor is that he's leaving the book after the first arc is over.
Jeremiah Turner
>Isn't he doing suicide Squad bi-weekly? He can't even draw one full issue of it.
Nathan Sanchez
Some sound plausible, others fucking bullshit.
Jordan Wood
Its not like shazam has not been getting shafted for years we keep getting teased by a comic that never comes.
Eli Rivera
Imagine if Swamp Thing was confirmed for Injustice 2 on the same day/week
Isaac Bell

I'd rather spend my money on regurgitated stomach acid.

WHY?
Thomas Brooks

Julian Mitchell
>Simone >feminazi
u wot
Simone is based. She ripped Dan Slott(I think it was him) apart on Twitter. Shit was hilarious.
Isaac Murphy
Op clearly did not care about his fake rumors enough to look at the sales figures or what they are doing with him right now.
Dominic Parker
Authority would be more likely than wildCATS considering Midnighter
Lucas Torres
>Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy: Amy Chu and Elsa Charretier
IvyLeague will freak
Thanks for the laugh
Nicholas Gray
does lee care about authority?
Henry Gonzalez
really doubt this
Leo Edwards
Doesn't matter, he won't be on the book for more than 3 issues anyway.
Jason Watson
Simone said on twitter she was working on a title for DC and gave the word Cat as a hint which could be Catwoman, Catman or Cat Grant.
Shit OP you better be lying, I don’t want Humphries on JSA.
Colton King
But let's be honest, Cyborg will probably the first to drop to monthly.
Jordan Sullivan
>Gen 13: Scott Lobdell and Ed Benes hohhohoohoho...oh wow... I would try anything else, say thanks to your uncle working in Nintendo for the inside info.
Jackson Ramirez
The yogurt is cursed.
Hudson Ward
I mean, Simone has her own problems, but being a feminazi isn't one of them.
Evan Hughes
Nah, she is a SJW but I wouldn't put her on the Feminazi level especially since she tends to piss off Feminazis exactly because she won't agree with them and triggers them.
The while Savant and Creote fake dead that she pulled in Birds of Prey angered scans-daily and even triggered a tranny who argued with Simone and caused s-d mods to ban Simone over the tranny's hurt feelings.
Nathan Clark
OP's wrong. It's not Gail Simone on Action Comics. It's Mark Waid. At NYCC, Bob Harras will announce his retirement; word got to Waid and he's been in a few talks.
Ryder Reed
Dang. That's some pretty nice art.
Kayden Sanders
>Waid and Geoff Johns recently had dinner together
I don't know what to think.
Liam Diaz
she also regularly defends stuff like Red Sonya's chainmail bikini, Black Canary's fishnets and Ed Benes' art
Julian Fisher
mayeb they're gay instead
Carter Nguyen
Those are all horrible.
Logan Miller
Everytime I see posts like this I hope for Palmiotti and Conner name to be in them and everytime I get disappointed
When will they leave!?
Ethan Brooks

Adam Bennett

Nathan Clark
>Action Comics: Gail Simone I will rage so hard
Austin Mitchell
She also wrote the Birds of prey song in tbatb
Gabriel Morales
I'm torn, because I hate Harley/Ivy, but I also hate people wanting to push Ivy as some misunderstood anti-hero.
Jace Ortiz
Will they talk about the new Judas Contract? I wanna see more of my OTP
Joshua Adams
What's funny about this is that:
1) They completely ignore Ivy's best appearances
2)They treat traits of Ivy as differents things, I.E sexy bisexual criminal Poison Ivy is the same or it adds to environmentalist STEM scientist wanting to save the planet traits of Ivy
It's funny how people how are fans of the characters don't really get the character
Evan Ward
Dick/Rose?
Mason Jackson
He tweeted some anti-dc shit the next day so I don't think that went anywhere
Nathan Reed
Hope it's scrapped.
Hudson Myers
>It's just some autistic retard sperging his fan fiction Phew, I was almost worried Aquaman went monthly, but it's just the retarded Ivyfag.
Henry Miller
Slade/terra?
Can anyone redpill me on Waid's feud with dc?
Cooper King
Why is Waid such a cuck? Was he always a cuck? Even before his falling out with DC?
Austin Cruz
Yes.
Brayden Stewart
>Can anyone redpill me on Waid's feud with dc? He really fucking hates harras
Jackson Torres
>Aquaman went monthly It will sooner or later, Green Arrow will keep going bi-weekly as long as trade sales are great otherwise that's a contender too. And Cyborg is most definitely going monthly.
Jose Murphy
This is a awful art
Michael White
How soon people forget about past runs.
Aiden Torres

I am hoping for a new Wonder Woman artists
Charles Reed

Hey! You leave Jim Lee alone! Do you know how long it took him to draw that? The whole goddamn year!
>Simone/Byrne How the fuck did that work?
Robert Reed
>Aquaman will be bumped down to a monthly title as will Cyborg.
cyborg monthly would never work, sooner or later it will be monthly again
Xavier Foster
Who cares about Wild Cats anymore?
Carter Baker
it didn't, Byrne left pretty soon afterwards and then Infinite Crisis came along
Benjamin Cook
No it's not. That's better than even Openas work and I'm as anti Jim Lee as it gets. The guy is great if he tries, which he doesn't 99% of the time.
Jackson Lee
>She whined about Clayface being redeemed Kek
Ryder Thompson
>>Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy: Amy Chu and Elsa Charretier
elsa charretier is doing the wasp ongoing at marvel, and the solo harley quinn already has lots of poison ivy. I see no point in a team up book, unless it is a mini
Zachary Ward
I hate that I'm agreeing with this fag, but he's right. I despise Jim Lee, but Hush was gorgeous.
Adam Jones
Well, she's already written Action, so I hope you've been raging for 10 years already.
Isaac Collins
I want reading Action in 2005 and 2006. I am now.
Easton Brown
What have you read of Simone's recently that would make you rage at that? Better than fucking Jurgens.
Jaxon Jackson
I think waid still is marvel exclusive
Elijah Williams
Secret six. Fuck what she did to sue and ralph
Zachary Foster
I haven't read a single Gail Simone story I've liked. Agent X, Deadpool, Birds of Prey, Batgirl, and Secret Six all rubbed me the wrong way. Sorry I have shit taste
Nathan Cruz
>Gen 13: Scott Lobdell and Ed Benes
He'll ruin them again like he did in Superboy and Teen Titans during that awful "The Culling" cross-over.
Grayson Robinson
what did she do not read any of her new run
Henry Gomez
Ralph looked like a big bulky 20s mobster because he was working for riddler who was fucking an amnesiac sue
Aiden Wilson
I don't believe you, but I don't want you to show me a source in case you're telling the truth. I'm in a lose-lose situation, user. Tell me you're lying, please!
Jeremiah Peterson
It was canceled on account of low sales so Sue suddenly recovered from her amnesia and everyone had a happy ending except the Ventriloquist. Sue still fucked Eddie though.
Jose Evans
Nope. Sue had amnesia and was fuck8ng riddler and ralph was workibg for hin to betray the 6 so he could get sue back. They she suddenly regained her memories and it was never mentioned again
Mason Nguyen
>He tweeted some anti-dc shit the next day so I don't think that went anywhere
shit, so Johns couldn't seduce Waid. dammit
Jonathan Peterson
>Humphries on JSA
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Joshua Wood
Most likely yeah.
Henry Johnson
Please stop posting my drawfu, delete this
Carson Young
Gail Simone taking over Action sounds plausible, since Jurgens was not announced to be in the Superman panel at NYCC.
Elsa Charretier is confirmed Wasp at Marvel so that one is definitely bullshit.
Steve Orlando is doing Supergirl and JLA (already confirmed). Can the guy do three titles?
Gleason on Super Sons is very possible since he's co-writing Superman and already wrote Damian alone in his own series.
If Humphries on JSA is true DC just destroyed my hype.
Joseph Nguyen
She's getting better. It's always nice to witness an artist's artistic evolution.
Daniel Anderson
Not anytime soon aquaman is selling really well. The only way i can see it going monthly is if they need to slow the plot right down to put the wedding special together in time and decompression is not enough.
Adrian Ramirez
>wanting SJWaid Nah, Marlel can keep him
Gabriel Roberts
Yeah, she came across was some sort of faux-liberal with Neocon tendencies.
Ayden Sanchez
He's infinitely better at DC
Hunter Ward
>There was a n52 secret six run
I had completely forgotten about it
Who dat
Luke Taylor
What I'm gathering from this post is that DC has realized that Abnett is shit
Dylan Rodriguez
>WildC.A.T.s: Steve Orlando and Jim Lee >Gen 13: Scott Lobdell and Ed Benes they arn't dead!
Anthony Wood
He's DC exclusive, soooo
Chase Morales
Marvel has the primate. For this reason he abbandoned this crap of pubblisher.
Tyler Baker
Wow, it's like you ugly faggots stopped read the run at page 2.
Luke Gonzalez
I can tell you a certain thing on that list is false, so probably the rest of it is.
Source: I know one of the writers
Ian Lopez
but Sue may or may not have banged the Riddler, clearly she is ruined forever!
Aiden Watson
>Gail Simone Welp, so much for Action Comics
Grayson Ward
All bullshit aside how likely do you guys think it is that they will do a Gen13 announcement? I know they said Wildstorm announcements were coming, but will Gen13 be among them?
And if they do bring it back is it more likely to try and PC it up or will there be some old school fanservice?
Jason Thomas

On an unrelated note: Is anyone else going to NYCC? I was going to go with people but they never got around to buying tickets because the verification system is a piece of shit and now I am stuck going alone, which is always depressing
Nicholas Smith
Meant Jurgens
Leo Morris
>>wanting SJWaid >Nah, Marlel can keep him
I was just kidding. for me make little difference marvel or DC
Logan Cruz
Ask Devin Grayson about being DC exclusive
Aiden Roberts
This is pretty much bullshit when it's all butt confirmed that Steve Orlando is writing whatever JSA book is spinning out of JL v SS
Asher Garcia

of course it is a improvement
Christopher Cook

Robert Perez
Get lost drone. Back to the Mouse hole.
Ethan Hernandez
>This is pretty much bullshit when it's all butt confirmed that Steve Orlando is writing whatever JSA book is spinning out of JL v SS
he is writing JLA
Angel Cook
I actually kind of liked it but it didn't last long. Simone got along with Byrne OK and it she wrote Clark and Lois as a fun couple.
That was the last time a chick got to write any actual flagship character for even a few months.
Jaxon Adams
he's writing JLA, not JSA. no saying this list is right at all
Jackson Bennett
Yeah because Marvel is better. Bullshit
Brandon Powell
I got a Sunday ticket. I'm planning on going to these panels:
Abnett's DC work is lackluster. He's by far the worst of the Rebirth exclusives.
Jonathan Hernandez
> Gen 13: Scott Lobdell and Ed Benes
Even though Lobdell sucks, I will actually re-open my pull list if this is true. Voting with my wallet for more sweet cheesecake in comics and less SJW shit.
Ayden Moore
But Aquaman is one of the best Rebirth titles so you're fucking wrong
Jace Hall
Who? Gates? Lobdell? Orlando?
Josiah Scott
One of these days I gotta make my own list of bullshit rumors and post them on Cred Forums just to see people's reactions to what I gotta say. Sounds like fun.
Jaxson Allen
>Rebirth Aquaman now with 10000% more Black Manta

Austin Brown
Yes
Isaiah Rivera
do you also bitch when lex is in superman and action comics all the time?
Austin Torres
I'd pick it up for the art and the idiot hope that Lobdell's second run on the title would be better
Joseph Reed
Lex actually has an interesting narrative going on now.
Forever Evil leads to Lex League leads to Lex-MAN
He's the hero of the story.
Manta has just become the backwash they serve up in Aquaman books.
Jaxon Hill
>Elsa Charretier on a marvel ongoing >Jim Lee can't even draw a full issue of Suicide Squad and is solicited until December >Gail Simone mentioning thunder, cats, and a new heroine >DC making abnett exclusive then kicking him off the book he's putting seeds into >WildCATS instead of Authority or not alongside Authority
At least try to keep up with stuff so you can make more believable rumors
Levi Gray
lex was upgraded from villain to superman supporting character up there with lois and jimmy years ago
Alexander Butler
That's great but I'm talking about something that happened in the last three years. A narrative developed by multiple writers and used linewide
Black Manta doesn't have that and never will
Thomas Torres
Wait is the implication here that you don't want more black manta? why? He's an excellent villain. Really entertaining, threatening on his own and works better when he isn't being overshadowed by fucking orm.
Zachary Lee
Still no fucking Shazam? Why does DC keep promising to give us this ongoing only to lie to our fucking faces? Seriously, if they do not announce a Shazam ongoing I'm not adding a single DC book to my pull. Fuck them and their lying faces.
Xavier Lee
They need to dial the Manta usage way the fuck back. Manta vs Arthur only works because they legit hate each other. But hatred needs to be fed so we're gonna need another spark to light the flames of war.
New52 gave us double dead dads and Manta murdering some friend of Arthur's. Escalating violence user
James Wood
>I want a different villain every single issue
Shut the fuck up.
People like you ruin comics.
Jayden Nelson
>Wanting another Manta arc ever
They should just stick with the Atlantean dissidents and from their loop back to Rise of the Seven Seas.
And throw Manta back into the bin
Noah King
While Manta is cool, and I have grown to love him as a character, I feel like just defaulting back to him is the same as when they pit Flash against a speedster, I'd much rather see some other less known villains get a little exposure.
Michael Martinez
>Justice Society of America: Sam Humphries and Dale Eaglesham
Not saying this is true but JSA is definitely one of those books that DC knows that fans (like me) will buy no matter what garbage creators they put on it. JSA fans take what they can get.
Jose Stewart
>Charretier on a Marvel book welp, there goes one of my favorite newcomer artists wasted on a Marvel Now Nower comic
John Lewis
Sales for earth 2 are shit though
Juan Brown
damn, that Frenchie seems to have a thicc rump
Christopher Ward
Sounds like horseshit. We already know there's a JLA book written by Orlando coming out, why would they not announce that if they're announcing new books?
Noah Davis
Gen13 seems like it might be a better fit for Lobdell since it's always been a little goofier and that's where he shines. Would've been nice if they could get Warren for that instead however.
Thanks for killing any interest I had in a JSA revival though if indeed this is all true. Fucking Humphries.
Julian Rivera
It's readable, but the previous arc dragged.
Zachary Garcia
People keep shitting on Humphries, but Green Lanterns is actually pretty good. The problem is Marvel, not the writer.
Zachary Phillips
GLs is mediocre
Lincoln Myers
People thinking that Lobdell would be good for the Gen13 book forget that he fucked the Gen13 characters with The New 52 reboot.
His Caitlin Fairchild was a scientist working for Men from NOWHERE, as a spy, and she took care of Superboy. His Grunge was just some generic bad meta hired to torture Superboy. Most of the characters associated with Gen13 worked as elite soldiers for Harvest, that awful as fuck villain, and the organization.
If he worked on the new comic he'd brought it all back. DO YOU WANT TO SEE HARVEST AGAIN?
Robert Evans
Ocean Master, Dead King, Chimera, and Legend are better than Black "MY FATHER IS DEEAAADD" Manta
Eli Jenkins
It was just a disguise, user.
Connor Rivera
Earth 2 =/= JSA.
Isaac Collins
French Goddess.
Grayson Sanchez
>More Harley >No MM
Henry Powell
But it's bad when Snyder uses Joker, amirite?
James Richardson
It doesn't really help that Joker is the most over exposed villain in cape history. He sucks when most people write him, Synder can't write dogshit, so his Joker was even worse.
Angel Thompson
>Gen 13: Scott Lobdell and Ed Benes >WildC.A.T.s: Steve Orlando and Jim Lee
>Jimbo drawing two books. >Benes beeing back Benes is too "problematic" for this day and age to be put on an active titles as recurring artist. He was fucking good on "green lanterns" #1 though.
The only plausible thing is the HQ/PI.
Connor Murphy
DC doesn't give a shit about 'problematic' nonsense. Remember that Batgirl cover that they got shit over? They've now got Albuquerque drawing a Batgirl book. They don't give a fuck.
Carson Sanders
Gen 13 and Wild C.A.T.S. will barely survive getting enough issues to get a single trade out before they're both canceled. No one cares about these properties anymore. Prove me wrong.
David Martinez
In defense/hope I'd say that those were likely editorial mandates given how intrusive/shitty DC editorial was at the start of the New 52. In fact those sound exactly like the types of shitty ideas editorial would force on people and Lobdell's always been a "don't rock the boat" kind of guy and will go along with them.
If a Gen13 book is coming they're almost certainly going to ignore/retcon that shit anyway to the point where it won't matter. Just say they were clones or something of the actual teens and it's good. If he can write it in a style like his GenX (which was character heavy over big plots/actions and kind of stream of consciousness, all things that would serve Gen13 well IMO) it could work.
Camden Gomez
You'd think it would be since the only good thing he ever wrote was Generation X. He already worked on Gen13 though and while it got the tone right it wasn't very good.
Andrew Adams
>In defense/hope I'd say that those were likely editorial mandates given how intrusive/shitty DC editorial was at the start of the New 52.

So why did he kept bringing Harvest again and again even after DCYou? Lobdell love that shitty villain he created. There was no reason to reference Harvest ever again after the end of the first TT series, specially when Pfeifer did everything he could to steer the new book away from that and give the characters STARlabs as new antagonist, but when Lobdell assumed the book again for a bit the first he did was bring Harvest into the fold again.
How many times are you guys going to blame the editors for everything bad Lobdell writes?
Oliver Phillips

Jack White
There's still too much at risk, since it's pretty much the second most hyped return after Wally West. Leaving it to a mediocre writer whose only good book is based on a buddy cop dynamic would be a bad move.
Caleb Reed
...
Sebastian Cooper
Really if I had my way it'd be Adam Warren writing it with Rick Mays on art because any love I have for those characters is due mainly to Warren which is one of my favorite cape runs of all time.
Christian Morgan

Hope Gates can keep up the same character banter that Abnett does so well, but this overall makes me VERY happy.

Liam Mitchell
If Abnett can't keep up the writing with Titans and the last stretch of Earth 2 along with it, then I wouldn't be surprised.
Jason Hernandez

Look at this post.
Look at this post and laugh.
Jacob Cox
>It's Mark Waid GOD DAMN IT!
Jack Brown
You know what would be great? A Judomaster comic in the style of the Yakuza games. Just let her Kiryu it up in a crime/revenge/honor drama while also occasionally doing goofy shit and chatting with JAV actresses.
Christopher Bell
Yeah if they could get Warren to come back it would be amazing. It's one of my favorite runs ever too. His skill set is just perfect for Gen13, with all his pop culture references and sex and humor, and the high-concept stuff to give it that Wildstormy sci-fi edge. I feel like he's way off their radar though, it would never even occur to them to bring him back.
Jace Taylor
But do you get your choice of toppings?
Brayden Morris
I never read vol 3 of JSA. Is it as good as vol 2?
Luis Ross
>liking feminazis Disgusting
Henry Thomas
Geoff Johns is making all these decisions now and he loves the JSA.
Matthew Clark
>I think waid still is marvel exclusive
Waid's been freelance for several years.
If Harras was eventually leaving, I could see Waid jumping taking the Superman gig despite the fact that Marvel's given him the flagship Avengers book and is pushing the fuck out of Champions #1. The guy know's how to burn a bridge and come back to it later.
Jordan Russell
No, but it's still worth reading up until Johns leaves.
The main problem is that it suffers A LOT from having too many people on the team, and no one gets the page time needed for any interesting development because of how crowded the team gets.
Camden Hernandez
Conflicted... I feel Ian Churchill would have been sexier then Benes.
Jackson Garcia
or Ken Lashley, but he is being wasted on X-Dreck.
Adam Clark
>Synder can't write dogshit, so his Joker was even worse. Yes, yes. In the circle we sit, jerking.
Chase Young
Well it's not as if Cred Forums reads comic, let alone indie comics either...
Levi Robinson
People give GLs a lot of slack because Humphries isn't actually ruining pre-existing characterization except for Baz but nobody cared about him before he started acting like a less douchey Guy
Put him on a book with 75 year old characters and it will be trash
Aaron Green
>dat magnificent black canary ass
Jose Sullivan
I'm really excited about him and Jock getting back on Wytches after Jock's done with pic related.
Samuel Cook
I read Synder's New 52 Batman run up until the conclusion of Death of the Family, it was then that I realized that his comic (while at DC) is utter garbage, and remained as such throughout the years. I'm sure in his own little sandbox he could write something good, but what I know him from is garbage, and until I read something that may change my mind, he will remain garbage and to be avoided at any point in the future.
Evan Barnes
Is that actually happening When is Jock going to be off that batbook or whatever
Easton Jenkins
Most of this isn't very believable at all nor are they good lies.
Abnett is already working on the Judas Contract rehash with Priest. They aren't taking Abnett off it unless he's getting another book. He is exclusive so it would be on the list with the new stuff. You should have at least realized this and put him on something like LoSH since it's believable they'd give it to a previous writer and Johns has been saying it's in the next wave.
Simone teased something to do with thunder, I'd have at least put her on JSA if we're memeing.
And there will likely be more than two Wildstorm books if they're doing a big announcement for it. HB was 4. YA was 4. Very good chance this is also 4.
Nolan King
You know, Gen 13 might be the one book that actually SHOULD be written by Lobdell and drawn by Benes.
It's sweet, sweet 90's all the way through.

I am interested and will add to pull list if this is real
William Butler
Hey she's pretty hot I would fuck her so hard she wouldn't be able to draw anymore
Noah Hernandez
I think his Batman run is like Lost. Had good momentum, inconsistant characterization and a promise of great endings which never happened. And like Lost, it was only after it was ovet that most people realized what utter shit it was.
Justin Thomas
Don't care, Injustice 2 is still coming and it's still being written by Tom Taylor. More butlering, more NAAARGH, more face Harley having bouts of sobriety without Queen, and now he's getting his hands on Peeg.

Gen13 + Benes. Good combo.
Xavier Davis
>implying the O5 Gen13 will come back with that writer >implying Charretier will work on two books simultaneously >implying Jim Lee can draw even full issues by his own pacing today Sauce: OP's ass
Tyler Reed
Can wally even carry his own book now? I mean let's be honest here, the only reason why people get interested in him was because of the rebirth plot and they starting to lose interest because it went nowhere.
Thomas Hernandez
>Action Comics: Gail Simone and Patrick Zircher/Tyler Kirkham Better than Jurgens but doubt it's going to happen >Titans: Sterling Gates and Trevor McCarthy Don't think they're kicking an exclusive off a well selling title. It would be an improvement but fuck Titans, it's better to keep it as an Abnett containment book.
>Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy: Amy Chu and Elsa Charretier ew >WildC.A.T.s: Steve Orlando and Jim Lee ew bu I can see DC doing this >Justice Society of America: Sam Humphries and Dale Eaglesham oh come on... >Gen 13: Scott Lobdell and Ed Benes literally fucking why on so many levels >Super Sons: Patrick Gleason and Jorge Jiminez Called it a long time ago.
Does DC really think it's wise to have three Wildstorm titles running while Wildstorm has failed to sell every single time? And what's with the obsession for team books? Give the characters a solo, make the audience care about them individually and them put them on a team.
Lucas Davis
>Wildstorm has failed to sell every single time? Constant relaunches and crossovers in its final years didn't help.
Luis Howard
I doubt someone will take over action comics, jurgens has a bunch of plot points from lois & clark that needs to be resolved
Joseph Martinez
Look man, it had it's chance with the new52 and it had it's chance to sell with the Midnighter ongoing. If you want to build up a brand you don't just launch a bunch of team books with literal whos hoping that old WS fans will buy your shit because "muhh nostalgia".
Adrian Price
I'm talking about pre-N52 Wildstorm (the imprint).
Levi Flores
I know but that was a long time ago. If you want to try with WS again your best bet is to build them up instead of just slapping ideas together and hoping for the best, especially since, like you said, last couple of years were rough and you'll have a hard time surviving on nostalgia bucks.

Of course he can. It'd be in top 3 DC books.
Jonathan Wilson
Sure...
Grayson Peterson

He carried it for over 20 years and more than Barry did during new52, no reason why he can't now.
Put a solid team and he sells.

Wha? Because his GL book is pretty good? Bunn's Sinestro was too but his other work is still, at best, mediocre.
Zachary Young
That was 20 years ago, user.
Things changed now and Wally isn't as popular as he used to be.
Jayden Mitchell
not bad, just mediocre.
Josiah Sullivan
Do they ever announce creative team change at NYCC?
Ian Green
Then why aren't there Tomasi, Tynion, Humphries and King containment books?
Ethan Jones
>Flash book >Not selling It's not like they will name the book Wally west
Ian Allen
I want this to be true, damnit. Titans needs a new team, and I just want a JSA book to get off the ground even if it's trash just so they can at least save it with a good writer later. Humphries' Lanterns is good anyways.
No LoSH and Shazam makes this sound legit. Of course DC wouldn't do that.
Jaxon Davis
>no Atom on going >no Shazam in going >no LoSH on going >based Abnett Aquaman down to monthly >Abnett off Titans already You better be fucking lying.
Grayson Gutierrez
Because King is anything but mediocre.
Jaxson Wilson
>Aquaman will be bumped down to a monthly title
If true that's terrible news. It most likely means the relaunch hasn't added any new real sales at all to the title after returned copies are taken into account.
Watch for other titles taken off double shipping too in that case.
Easton Reyes
Which why we have multiple Flash books. Oh wait, we don't.
Jaxon Morris
It dropped from 77,000* to 50,000* in under two months, 10k of that between issues 4 and 5 (both August).
>*
You really need to learn what those stars mean. Those figures no longer represent sales, they represent printing numbers. Sales can't be calculated until after the returns are dealt with.
>but
Look, it's a title that sells around 20k naturally. That's probably what it's still doing under all the unsold copies - for sale or return 40% of printing sold is pretty good. Hell, look at Iron Man, wildly popular for a decade of movies - can't shift books worth a damn. Tops out 40k average on most runs.
There's no "long term push". Comic books don't drive movie audiences. There aren't enough sales in the entire market to account for that, let alone 77,000*. He's not going to become movie-popular just because he sells more books - nor is he going to sell more books just because he's getting a movie. If it worked that way, Batman would have been selling a million copies a month on a slow month ever since 2008. Hell, Walking Dead had a big jump from becoming a tv show and you know what? when you're getting 18m viewers and you can't even reliably sell 100k copies a month without 50 fuckin variants, it's time to accept that the comic book market is niche.
Oliver James
Cat Grant in Action Comics could work. She might have said Cat to intentionally midlead fans to think Catwoman and Catman.
Wyatt Price
She also tweeted something about thunder, which means she'll be writing Thundercats.
Nathaniel Thomas
Shazam.
Jackson Barnes
>That was 20 years ago, user.
Are you an idiot? Wally lost the book in late 2009, he sold well for entirely 20 YEARS. And when DC offed him from the book it was because he was selling under 50k, which is around the numbers Barry sells on a good day during New52.
There isnt a second Flash book because suits were scared of Wally overshadowing Barry's One True Flash status. There is no danger of that anymore so they can give him a second title.
How long have you been following Flash, you fucking casual.
Julian Reyes
But she also mentioned cat.
Dominic Hall
Also back when Wally was the Flash there was a second Impulse book and it went for about 100 issues.
So yeah, in its good day Flash had a second book.
Justin Ortiz
Stay mad and keep buying Titans, user. Maybe (and it is a big maybe) DC will give Wally his own book if he manged to gain fans beside you.
Jeremiah Adams
Is it that He-Man crossover book, then?
Also, Sterling Gates has said he'd sign a DC exclusive if he was guaranteed two years of a Supergirl book. It might seem like Orlando is going to be too busy juggling Supergirl, JLA, and now this, but he may just leave Supergirl to Gates, and Gates will sign an exclusive and work on Titans.
I imagine, after the Judas Contract arc, if this is true that is, Abnett'll probably be ready to move onto another book, like, say, a LoSH a few months down the line. He's probably off Titans only because he can't keep up with the schedule right now, it might be why Aquaman is going monthly.
Dylan Diaz
Tawky tawny?
Nathaniel Ross
>Gen 13, Wild Cats
B-but what about Milestone!?!? I want Icon and Blood Syndicate.
Lucas Thompson

Adrian Torres
>Humphries on JSA
you are so full if shit
Julian Price
It still will be a graphic novel line. Even still looking for new creative teams.
Easton Walker
No it's not the he man crossover user 3 issues of that are already solicited
Just get over you didn't do enough research on the people you listed and didn't see projects they already announced or hinted
Luis Walker
Linkypoos? I can't find anything on the google
William Barnes
Cyborg is DC's Inhumans. They jut want it to happen so badly
Easton Morgan
I guess it's always possible she was talking about Shazam with Tawky Tawny but once you get to reaching like that, you could easily say she's on Action Comics writing Cat Grant and Lightning Lad as supporting characters. Wouldn't make much sense, is what you're thinking, but it would mean that Action Comics is now set up to easily crossover with Supergirl as well as setting up a potential LoSH Rebirth book. Of course, I just thought this up on the spot, but what I mean is, we don't really know what she's doing.
And I freely admit I don't really know what every creator is currently doing, and I was asking about the crossover because I'd completely forgotten who the writer was, all I remember is Williams II is on art. Thanks for answering, but I didn't really need to see how deep that stick up your ass went. I realize this is Cred Forums but I after how nice nearly every Rebirth thread has been, I was expecting something similar. My bad.
Colton Gonzalez
what a weird way to type "birds of prey".
Aquaman is fine.
Samuel Jackson
God you really have a shitty taste. Abnett's Aquaman is one of the best Rebirth titles! Probably you are a Marvel intern, still butthurt because Abnett said at Marlel to go fuck themselves, and signed a DC exclusive, and as always your company did, you begun the dirty war against Dan. But don't blame Dan for leaving Marvel. Instead you should blame your own company and Bendis, for shitting upon Abnett's work.
Oliver Russell
Nigga go read 60s Marvel
>ruin comics

Nolan Collins
I hope they don't put Daily planet cast as leads. They put alot too much emphasis on them in 80s, and it was awful.

David Ortiz
Considering how surprisingly enjoyable Red Hood has become, Gen 13 might have a chance to be actually decent.
Oliver Johnson
Did everybody forget how shit Lobdell was with them before?
John Watson
Thunder could mean storm as in Wildstorm And Cat could mean WildCATs.
Aiden Gray
>implying you already weren't a fan of Lobell's Red Hood before Rebirth.
Nathan Perry
That was like 15+ years ago though. Maybe he's up to it now.
Cameron Williams
She said she would "help to bring the thunder". Wildstorm is a pretty big stretch, Johnny Thunder is more fitting.
Kevin Taylor
He did not improve much as a writer from then
Anyway he fucked them up with the new 52
Hunter Perry
I don't know, user. Rebirth seems to have brought the best of everyone. I even find Snyder's All Star Batman a lot more enjoyable than his previous run.
Thomas Gonzalez
No, you giant tucking tool.
I actually love Snyder's Joker, so try again.
Leo Smith
The power of branding Makes mediocre products seem good
Jacob Jenkins
...
Joseph Wilson
Don't like me wrong, user. I think Snyder's original Batman run is a good comic, but it dragged a lot in some places and it was too fucking dense on monologues. Snyder is a good writer but he comes from a literary background so he often seems to forget that he's writing comics and starts writing a fucking book. All Star is written more like a comic.
Jace Cooper
I forgot to mention, I think his previous run on Detective was better than his Batman. I actually fucking loved that run.
Cooper Lopez
No, you just bought into the hype and marketing.
Zachary Wright
Tom King and Peter Tomasi are only writing one series each, so I think something new with them is going to be announced. Azzarello surely is going to get a book after he finishes DKIII.
Michael Ortiz
king has sheriff of babylon in addition to batman
Jordan Collins
Oh yeah. But he's already finishing Vision and pitched something new to DC, we don't know it yet what it is.
Dominic Allen
Azzarello doesn't write many comics at once. He's found a mini at Image, American Monster and has an upcoming project with Risso in November at Image.
Kevin Rivera

Tom King Peter Tomasi Greg Rucka Josh Williamson Sam Humphries Rob Venditti Christopher Priest Scott Lobdell Keith Giffen

Josiah Lee
>But he's already finishing Vision The script's already done and the art is nearing completion.
Fucking should be this
Jonathan King
King is doing two(SoB), Williamson still has his Image titles, Frostbite and JLA vs SS Rucka said he's only back at DC for Diana Most of the others just don't write more than 1-2 titles at once.
Ian Morales
Is Grant Morrison writing anything atm?
Ethan Hall
Multiversity Too, Wonder Woman Earth One and editing Heavy Metal.
Aiden Sanchez
Vision is already finished, at least when it comes to writing. There is only one more issue left to come out.
Easton King
He doesn't want to do ongoings at the big two but he has three DC OGNs in the works
William Cooper
King is doing Sheriff of Babylon and Batman Rucka is doing Wonder Woman and intends to get back to Black Magick soon Joshua Williamson is doing Flash, Birthright, Nailbiter, and Frostbite Rob Venditti has a bunch of Valiant books

Hudson Perez

Ethan Gutierrez
>Theve already said They say a lot of things though
Evan James
It's most likely LOSH. DC confirmed he is one of the candidates.
Connor Peterson
>Rucka is doing Wonder Woman and intends to get back to Black Magick soon >get back to Black Magick Hahahah Diana's rucka's crack, mate. Rucka'll leave wondy if his either kicked out or "mishandled" again or dead.
Dominic Clark
Captain Marvel seems also likely. The rumors of a Simone Shazam book has been around forever.
Jacob Brown
This. They didn't just tease them in the rebirth issue to just suddenly go "nope" we're doing JSA instead.
Kevin Nelson
The editor of Black Magick and him go back. He won't abandon the book.
Owen Price
He can always go back, doesn't mean that he's going back soon. Magic hasn't been off for atleast a year, expect Rucka to kick around DC for atleast a year or two.
Michael Brooks
They're hoping to do both, though. LOSH was teased in DC Rebirth as well.
Evan Hall
They could, especially considering the person that wrote Rebirth special is Geoff Johns. Besides, JSA was teased too.
Ryder Ortiz
Oh, yeah. I forgot they teased LOSH and JSA with the "old insane" guy.
Austin Green
It's probably not. It's something Tom King pitched personally to DC. A personal project. Probably a revival of an obscure property like Omega Men, but not LOSH since King said his pitch was going to be approved after DC already decided the LOSH was coming back.
Christopher White
Knowing King that could be some extremely obscure shit though.
Anthony Sanders
Nothing you said makes any sense.
Justin Rivera
He'll throw a fit and flounce in six months like always.
Benjamin Taylor
How does it not?
LOSH was already decided months ago. It was after the Rebirth one shot was already out that Tom King said he pitched something to DC and he was pretty sure they were going to approve it.
Adrian Reyes
He said in an AMA at Reddit months ago that he would like to try with some really obscure shit like Atomic Knights. He thinks you can write about anything and make it interesting and then he cited the example of how Moore did Watchmen with the Charlton characters.
Mason Turner
Here's the exact quote:
>"I honestly don't care who I write, who they give me. You make the best of what you have. Moore made Watchmen with the Charltons characters. You can do anything with anyone."
>"Again, I write what's in front or me. I think anything can be anything. That said, I'd love to do an Atomic Knights thing. End of the world, a bunch of people dressed as medieval knights running around on Dalmatians, it writes itself."
Samuel Foster
Black Magick is only on haitus because of Nicola Scott, not Rucka
Joseph Roberts
Just because they decided on doing LoSH doesn't mean they had a team locked in. Hell, they had plans of using Plastic Man around Forever Evil...
Jayden Thomas
>"I want to do something on the side that takes as many risks as Killing Joke and DKR. I think I've got something. I think it might be something special. But I'm a crazy writer, so don't trust me."
William Peterson
>4)Are you going to write any more ongoings for Rebirth in the next wave? Also, any spoilers on what more craziness is awaiting us in your upcoming Batman issues?
>4) I got a thing coming. It's cool. I wrote a Kite-Man thing that will make you want to see this character more. I hope.
Angel Martin
is there a list of who's gonna be at NYCC from DC? i wanna cross check it with the Legion writer contenders
Aaron Cox
Based King. I'm not sure why Cred Forums turned on him, he's fucking great.
Chase Hall
Because Cred Forums eventually turns on everything that becomes popular enough. Ignore them and enjoy what you like, fuck the haters.
Jaxon Murphy
>Hell, they had plans of using Plastic Man around Forever Evil...
No they haven't. Geoff Johns had plans and put a lock on the character that nobody else could use him. But like Seven Seas those plans didn't go anywhere.
Parker King
Why would Atom get a book, who eve wants that?
Nolan Carter
It's just batfags. They hate everyone who writes Batman.
Kayden Smith
Actually Suicide Squad was the first to drop to monthly
Angel Bailey
That's 'cause old jimbo can't draw more than a book a year. Not because of sales figures.
>ANOTHER Harley book HA-HA! >a new Gen13 book OH-YEAH!
Jeremiah Martinez
That's not really anything "big" though. It was more suprising that even was announced as a weekly, seeing as jimbo is basically a "meme" at this point with his quick drawing skills.
Jaxon Barnes
Yeah the best was when it was announced he fully embraced the meme
" Me on a bi-weekly lolz ;) "
Aquaman/Wonder Woman/Flash/Superman are strong candidates to go monthly when Rebirth Wave 2 hits.
Charles Smith
No way are they going to put the JSA, atom and the LoS in the Rebirth oneshots and not do it, Johns is president, he'll make them do them
Leo Russell
Again, it's perfectly plausible, especially since Geoff " I like to tease but I forget to deliver" Johns is involved.
Juan Price
>Rise of the Seven Seas never
Gavin Brown
They teased JSA too
Jaxon Lewis
I forgets to deliver things he wants to write but he's not writing any of them
Ryan Stewart
Jiminez wanted Legion stuff in Superwoman but was told to hold off bc of plans for what that's worth
Mason Roberts
I wish this meme would fucking end already. Johns started to become like that only when they had his hands full and made him jump from a title to another quickly. Previous to that he always delivered what he promised. Now that he doesn't have to write anything he can call the shots for other writers to actually do it.
Jayden Morales
what was he jumping around on to constantly delay that stupid 7 seas arc?
Landon Rivera
Fucking Batfags have shit taste as usual desu.
Parker Thomas
Forever Evil and Lex League happened
Adam Thompson
He wasn't able to write more than two books so he had to drop everything but JL and Earth One after Forever Evil.
Jacob Hall
Justice League, Superman, the entire TV stuff and the movies
Elijah Lopez
Oh and if he did write more than 2 books then Diane Nelson would have to get told and tell him to stop that
Daniel James
>They hate everyone who writes Batman. That makes no sense. I think it's just antibatfags that like to shipost and shit on anyone that writes Batman.
Henry Nguyen
He was also very involved with the TV shows and had a limited amount of input in the movies at the time. He was also planning Rebirth for a long time already and having talks with all the writers. The guy is a fucking machine, I don't know how he found the time to do everything, I don't blame him for his quality of writing going down in JL, since he didn't have that much time and also it shows that he put all of him on DC Rebirth.
Luis Kelly
He was writing Superman as well
Luis Morris
and he had to drop it after like 7 issues despite him hinting at a bunch of stuff like he originally planned to have a longer run
Luis Bennett
> despite him hinting at a bunch of stuff
The Legend of Geoff Johns
Love me some Johns but damn he's been doing this shit for every franchise he touches recently
Nolan Perry
Not his fault being CCO makes him more money than writing comics
Tyler Moore
Because they want him to be in charge of the TV shows and now movies. He has no time to write anything anymore.
Landon Ramirez
>implying Johns isn't Bendis
Jayden Thomas
Yeah. I just hope his new role means he can sketch out the plotlines he wants to see and give them to some handpicked creators to run with
Xavier Ortiz
That's what Rebirth is. The entire thing was his idea. He sat down with each creative team to discuss every book.
Nathan Thomas
Assuming all of this is true.
I'm happy Titans has a new artist, sad that Abnett is leaving.
I was hoping to see some Wally centric spinoff so Titans wasn't just the Wally West show, too, but it looks like it didn't do well enough in their eyes to try that out.
Carson Rogers
Johns role in Rebirth is to create the universe bible for the creatives.
but I'm talking about the storylines he was developing like Rise of the Seven Seas, Shazam et al
Jack Edwards
The only reason Wally sold well for 20 years was he was on The Flash title. It's the same reason Batman books will sell even when Jim Gordon is Batman. It's why Superman books will have a minimum amount of sales even at the worst of times.
You stick Wally West in a book that isn't called "The Flash" and he putters out around 20k and gets cancelled in a year. Barry on The Flash could barely, consistently hold over 30K and Wally wasn't any better when he was leading the title in 2009 under MARK WAID. Name recognition alone should've sold that book and it didn't.
Now we're nearly a decade removed, his fanbase scattered to the winds, and you think he can handle a solo? Be happy he's a major character in a team book.
Jeremiah Russell
>Wally saves DC singlehandedly >hurr he can't carry a solo
Lincoln Baker
Giving someone a big moment in an event book doesn't mean they can sell, user.
If you kicked Barry off The Flash title and put Wally in it it'd probably sell about the same, probably a little worse from diehard Barry fans tossing it. You give Wally his own book and it's gonna flop unless it's got a big name like Johns on it.
Elijah Bell
Normal observers: >Maximum nostalgiafag pandering sells like hotcakes
Wallyfags: >Wally is DC >#Ginger masterrace
Wallyfags are truly delusional
Lincoln Howard
DCU Rebirth didn't sell because Wally West was in it, user. It sold because of good marketing and The Watchmen. Wally West was just Johns' wanking one of his preferred characters.
Caleb Wood
Geoff Johns hates Wally West.
t. Wallyfags
Joshua Russell
The closest thing DC ever had to a Bendis was Bob Haney.
James Gonzalez
you take that back right now
William Harris
I think it's just anti johns fags trying to latch onto a sore point of one of Johns' mistakes more than Wallyfags. Either that or power level fags who aren't really Wallyfags.
Wallyfags fucking love Johns. Most of them who aren't in their 40s probably started reading Wally comics with him writing the character.
Grayson Carter
johns' wally run has a huge weak spot because the majority of it is "LOOK HOW BADASS THE ROGUES ARE GUISE. TAKE THEM SRSLY"
i mean he did a good job with the run I just care about Wally West not Snart and co.
Aaron Thompson
I'm calling bullshit on this because 1) Simone wouldn't do a biweekly 2) Abnett wouldn't leave a book after being made an exclusive 3) Steve Orlando said he's writing JLA as part of the new wave 4) Legion is coming with the new wave as well 5) I would expect a huge name on JSA, not someone who's never done a DC book
Landon Gonzalez
This is the worst reply I've ever seen. Just look at porn dude, holy shit.
Charles Torres
fucing SJW it is his RIGHT to do nothing but jerk it to comics
Carson Walker
It's nice that you try and sounds authoritative, but when you don't know that Humphries has been writing for DC since Rebirth, you just sound retarded

Liam Fisher
Here's the real list Wild Dog mini series Gen 13 and superboy Larry Hama on Wetworks Len Wein Metal Men continuation/ ongoing I can't think of a fifth thing they're bringing Fate and Scarb back and teaming them up
Alexander Collins
I would prefer these over OP's list
Isaiah Price
>Len Wein Metal Men continuation/ ongoing
This is bullshit. There's no way Metal Men are getting an ongoing. A miniseries like the Hawkman/Adam Strange and Vigilante things it's possible. Same with Firestorm and Metamorpho. Miniseries doing a spotlight of less popular characters that can't carry an ongoing.
Jack Campbell
More ideas plastic man anthology like bizzaro world a new question series with Vic Sage and Renee and the magic one Enemy Ace or another Blackhawk series
Ryan Baker
Howard Chaykin's Blackhawk led to an ongoing
William Stewart
i figure if metal men are showing up it's gonna be in Cyborg
Benjamin Rodriguez
That was like 30 years ago, when C tier characters could hold an ongoing.
Wyatt Roberts
I think Steel could get an ongoing too. They brought some of supporting cast back in superwoman

Ivyfags hates Harley Quinn
Bentley White
I think Steel's ongoing is Superwoman, or at least, that's how most would perceive it. Steel is about as important to Superwoman as Lois is in the main Superman book, which is pretty damn important, so I don't see the point in having a Steel ongoing when you can just double ship on Superwoman.
Benjamin Bell
Nah, just Ivyleague. I know a lot of Ivyfags that like Harley
Asher Jenkins
Well this is a proven fact Make another Flash book with Wally and watch it barely last 12 issues
Gabriel Phillips
this is some true arrogance I mean you have a character who is barely known to the public anymore Wally is not some huge character anymore
Grayson Morales
Nightwing is a Batman character. Much like how Robin could keep a solo series running but Impulse couldn't. Flash isn't popular enough to support spinoffs for any lengthy period of time anymore and hasn't since Waid wrote the book.
It's why after Rebirth 1.0 they never did anything but the main Flash book. They knew a book starring Wally but not called The Flash wouldn't sell and they were in dire straights.
The Flash -- the name, the comic -- sells. Not Barry or Wally.
Nolan Thompson
There's 0 advertisement in comic stores for Titans and it sure as hell doesn't get brought up in other comics.
It's going to crossover with fucking Deathstroke of all irrelevant things.
The thing had no marketing or push to it because they had to keep the Wally secret for so long that the book was fucking made and the marketing done by the time Rebirth launched.
If it was a real thing they were pushing they'd put a big team on it. You know, like they did Wonder Woman.
Angel Campbell
The vast majority of people who even know the name Wally West only know him from the TV show and YJ cartoon (and maaaybe the JL cartoon but most people would just remember him as The Flash).
It's a joke that anyone thinks their precious Wally West from the comics is anything more than a brief nostalgia trip. They wanted nothing to do with him for the last 8 years, he clearly isn't that important or that irreplaceable to the company.
Much like Cyborg, he's one of Johns' pet favorites.
William Gutierrez
And to think Johns wanted to do for the Flash franchise the same he did for Green Lantern.
Too bad the reboot screwed up his plans.
Benjamin Hughes
The reboot didn't screw up his plans. The reboot wasn't even beginning to be planed when he started Rebirth.
Rebirth failing is what did it. It just didn't make enough money because Barry Allen, as a name, wasn't a huge draw for a lot of people. Just like a Wally return itself isn't a big deal (Watchmen is).
It also wasn't nearly as good a comic and the delays were awful.
Jayden Bell
They could have done the same thing they did for Green Lantern if they let Johns make his big "Sinestro Corps War" type event.
Maybe it would fare better now that Barry is a better estabilished name.
Adrian King
Is magneto fighting Superman in this issue? Or is Superman becoming the new Master of Magnet?
Isaac Fisher
I'm just exited for Super Sons. Anyone else here exited for that?
Aaron Sullivan
>Wally West isn't important the Flash name alone could sell! >Flash franchise crashes and burns without Wally >DC circling the drain without Wally
Landon Anderson
No mate, DC said if you want to learn about Rebirth, you read The Flash. There wasn't even an editorials note in Flash Rebirth when Wally left the book.
It's all word of mouth and hardcore Wallyfags that spread the word.
Grayson Howard
> being this butthurt about a character
Cameron James
I swear i love barry and wally but there fans are the biggest fags who can't seem to be happy no matter what only batfamily fans are worse. Particularly jasonfags.
Angel Mitchell
Flash franchise crashed and burned with Wally at the helm. Sales plummeted nearing the end of Johns' run. It's why they brought in Bart.
Benjamin Butler
Again, management wanted to do that, too, but Flash Rebirth failed as a series. Sales were half what was expected (they were expecting MORE than GL Rebirth's huge numbers) with shop owners voicing discontent with extra copies on shelves that people weren't buying.
There was no money in The Flash during or after Barry's return. His #1, series reboot numbers were worse than BART'S, for god's sake.
Christian Perry
They specifically said the only two titles that followed up on DCU rebirth were Titans and Flash, and both did in very minor ways before doing their own shit.
Because of course they aren't going to blow their Watchmen load in a B solo book and a C team book.
Oliver Walker
I'm the one telling him his special snowflake favorite character isn't worth shit. The Flash is important, not Barry or Wally.
I guess after the movie it'll just be Barry by name recognition tho.
John Hill
I hope the new Titans artist is good.
Leo Rivera
WildCATS, JSA, and Gen13. I'm hyped.
Kevin Phillips
That sounds like absolute horseshit. Flash Rebirth has been one of the biggest breakouts by all metrics and every report. It continually goes back for more and more reprints and continues to be a top seller.
Tyler Scott
I'm talking about the 2009 Flash Rebirth, dude. Keep up.
Ryan Foster
Manapul/Buccellato Flash was a top seller of the New 52
Oliver Evans
It was around the numbers of Wally's worst days.

so is the only way for a solo lobo comic is by the success of that harley lobo comic?
