Could this have been an early tease for 5G? "I've been talking to, not just DC, but Warner Brothers and AT&T What we're going to do for the last 15 issues is something no one's ever seen for the character It's something that's going to change the character for a generation, or maybe more[...]

I got to revisit and finish my Wildstorm comic book The American Way, but that was meant to be an appetiser for the main course. John Ridley, Luke Fox Batman, 5G, No More? Art from DC. Former DC President Diane Nelson used an entire event, The Many Shades of Heroism: DC Heroes Through the African-American Lens, laid[...]

However, I am now told that a few creators on DC's Black Label mature readers line and 5G projects have been told to cease production 5G was originally planned to launch in October as Generation Five, but its future has been in doubt. However, Bleeding Cool has learned of an editorial and production shift to get[...]

These Four Generations wee then intended to set up 5G – or Generation Five – which would have replaced the main books with new characters That was before its instigator, DC publisher Dan DiDio, was fired Everything changed. So what of the Generations Zero to Five books that were planned to start in May? They are[...]

Oh had you forgotten all about 5G? Well, maybe in the light of the coronavirus pandemic, DC Comics has as well But plenty of plans were already in place and have been moving forward Including it seems, today's Legion Of Super-Heroes #5 by Brian Bendis and Ryan Sook Now, those keen readers of Bleeding Cool's[...]

Some divined from this that a) the Generation one-shots were being dropped and b) so was 5G Well… not entirely But there are changes. Intended to be published on May 27th, Generation One: Age Of Mysteries was solicited as being the first of five 48-page prestige format one-shots, followed monthly by; Generation Two: Age of the[...]

Bleeding Cool has been following former publisher of DC, Dan DiDio, and his plan for 5G/Generation Five that was planned to have seen the central characters of the DC Universe aged up and then replaced with successors So an elderly Bruce Wayne would have been replaced with Luke Foz, Clark Kent replaced by Jonathan Kent,[...]

They see the value we bring to the greater whole." And regarding the much-rumoured and occasionally-leaked 5G, that it's "hard to talk about what we haven't officially announced but I realise we have teased somethings out… our intent is not to do a line-wide reboot that ages up characters and kinda shuffles them off to the side, our[...]

While sketching on panel at C2E2 last weekend, DC Publisher Jim Lee asked the crowd 'heard any good rumours lately?' He was initially talking about rumours launched after the departure from DC of publisher Dan DiDio by the likes of Ethan Van Sciver, that AT&T was planning to shutter DC Comics publishing if their upcoming Bleeding[...]

Okay, so we saw a lot of this last weekend on Bleeding Cool. But we have much better definition now. And a better look at how the DC Comics Timeline is

Some will be dropped because they are now 'tainted' as having been championed by Dan, others may survive if they find new champions. And so, yes, there's 5G Generation Five, which has been planned for almost a year now In which we would have seen the entire DC Universe aged up, along the lines of the[...]

8 this time. — Liam 'Sharpy' Sharp (@LiamRSharp) January 19, 2020 Bleeding Cool suggested that this might be in order that the series conclude before 5G's launch in October, and to avoid the Batman Incorporated problem with Grant the last time with the New 52, which continued to be published in the old continuity while all the[...]

We'd previously said that the story within by Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth – which will have an expanded version for DC's Free Comic Book Day title Generation Zero: Gods Among Us – may do a smashing job of sorting out DC Comics' current continuity woes, set up the DC Timeline and prepare for 5G[...]

The 5G books are all still happening, as are the Generation one-shots – but they may now be placed in a different context. For some, this will be welcome For others, this may be abandoning what seemed as a very exciting idea Bleeding Cool will keep an eye on how this rolls out, as we have[...]

On the 13th of June, 2019, Bleeding Cool made the first mention of something DC Comics was planning called 5G We had no idea what it was All we knew was that it was, "something that is, or has, been planned at DC Comics at the upper creative and editorial echelons." It took until October[...]

Some people have decided, it seems, that Dan DiDio was fired as Publisher at Warner Bros because of the 5G/Generation Five relaunch he instigated within the company over the last nine months This is not true – and yesterday, Bleeding Cool reported, after talking to creators, that 5G was very much still on the books,[...]

The departure of Dan DiDio as DC Publisher over the weekend has left many wondering what this might mean for the planned 5G/Generation Five relaunch of the DC Universe Which would have Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Diana and the rest aged out of their roles and replaced with new characters under old names, gathering a[...]

So expect another Supergirl series to start when that's no longer an issue – or when 5G/Generation Five comes along. In theory, the DC timeline ends pre-reboot at the conclusion of Justice League #39, but there's a bunch of comics that had Year of the Villain tie-ins and then… continued Which is very confusing, unless it's[...]

And DC Comics was heading towards a big change in its publishing programme – one aspect of which was the much-rumoured 5G – or Generation Five Which would have seen DC's major figures Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, Diana and more aged out and replaced with new characters taking the roles of Superman, Batman and Wonder[...]

Potentially they didn't want to start a new arc when the new Crisis/Convergence II/Generation Five/5G is meant to relaunch everything anyway? Could be we seeing other titles come to an imminent close in June and July? Like The Green Lantern concluding with #8 instead of the planned #12? No more Batman Incorporated-style holdover situations like[...]

We saw the publication of Flash Forward #6 today, setting up the Free Comic Book Day title Generation Zero from DC Comics, now give the fuller title

Today sees the final issue of Flash Forward #6 by Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth. Following on from Heroes In Crisis, it was intended to return Wally West

Amazon lists the upcoming Suicide Squad Vol 1 Hardcover collecting Suicide Squad #1 to #6 by Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo for August. But international

Is Generation Five the new name for 5G? They will also follow the Free Comic Book Day title Generation Zero: Gods Among Us, in stores on Free Comic Book Day, May 2nd, 2020. They will have a storyline written by Brian Bendis, Dan Jurgens, Andy Schmidt, Robert Venditti, and Joshua Williamson, drawn by Doug Mahnke, Bryan Hitch, Mikel Janín,[...]

Bleeding Cool reported that Green Lantern would be one of the titles getting a 5G revamp at the end of 2020/beginning of 2011 But could it be a little sooner than that? Talking to Den of Geek, Liam Sharp told them, Season 2 ended up having to be shorter than the first season so Grant and I have[...]

Tomorrow, DC Comics will announce the sequel to Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo‘s Metal. Bleeding Cool has been reporting that it is called Death Metal, but

DC’s Generation Zero is the revealed name for DC Comics; big Free Comic Book Day title starring Wally West and Wonder Woman. With a cover from Francis

He said that 'that's crazy, that's a crazy thought.' At which point he became the first DC Comics creator to name a certain story that Bleeding Cool scooped and has been reporting since last summer… telling us that '5G is happening, right.' 5G, as Bleeding Cool has it, is the fifth generation of DC Comics heroes[...]

This is a panel from towards the end of today's Justice League #39 by Scott Snyder and Jorge Jimenez. With the Spectre and the Phantom Stranger narrating

But have people been prepared? I only ask because yesterday, walking through London, I came across a protest against 5G. If nothing else, maybe DC Comics might consider a name change for this litany of half-truths and misinformation Or maybe they will like the confusion For those still confused, this is the DC Comics 5G –[...]
