An earlier "Green" comic from Zircher… Looks like the DC June mini-relaunch isn't where it begins and ends. DC listed twenty-four relaunches or new titles, and twenty-four continuing series from before the Convergence event. But it doesn't end there. Because while they listed Green Arrow as continuing with new creative team Ben Percy and Patrick Zircher, it appears that the[...]

At the DC Comics retailer meeting on Friday, the publisher laid out the concept of how the various world seen during the Convergence two month event came to be. Apparently Brainiac collected each of the worlds right before they "died", at Crisis On Infinite Earths, at Zero Hour, at Flashpoint. Which is probably what he was doing[...]

At Thought Bubble, the Batgirl creative team talked about how, die to internal DC politics, they weren't able to relaunch Batgirl with a new issue 1 when they joined the book But how this might happen with the trade collections.

Because, announced at the DC Comics retailer meetings yesterday in Burbank, Fables #150 will also be Fables Volume 22 of the trade paperback collection line. One issue, taking up a whole trade paperback sized publication. Where do they think they are, France? Also announced at the meeting[...]

Which made some folk snark about possible lateness on the soon-to-be-released Justice League Of America. But it could be that this new book is the reason those titles were as late as they were. At the DC Comics retailer meeting at Burbank yesterday, retailers were told that Bryan Hitch has been working on the Justice League Of America[...]

A shot of 'Doomed' from yesterday's retailers meetings at Burbank Revealed at yesterday's DC Comics retailer meeting in Burbank, every one of the forty Convergence comics in May will feature a new eight page insert of an upcoming June mini-relaunch comic book.

Jim Lee during the DC retailer meeting at Burbank, yesterday. There has been some concern regarding the eventual creep of the $3.99 comic book, with Marvel currently only having one remaining $2.99 Marvel Universe title. With all the Convergence titles moving to $3.99 for April and May, it was assumed by some that this would be it,[...]

Mystic U is a new DC series by writer Alisa Kwitney and (UPDATE x2) Mauricet, (also known as Alain Jensen) Given Kwitney's experience with Books Of Magic, and the title suggesting a magical university of sorts, could Tim Hunter be getting a lead in a DCU book again?

Then Justice League 3000 skips a year and becomes Justice League 3001 with the same creative team of Keith Giffen and Howard[...]

Even Aquaman had two. There were rumours at the time that these were due to character contract comlpications that also doomed an announced Raven series, but these were dismissed. Now that the New 52 is no more, Cyborg is getting his own series from David Walker and the Justice League/Aquaman team of Ivan Reis and Joe Prado. Should[...]

Quite some time ago, I ran the story that Jeff Lemire was pitching a new comic series to DC called The Robins, featuring al the characters who have used that identity over the years. While hat never happened, I understand the idea has still been running around the place. And now, in June, DC Comics are publishing[...]

Three more series launching from DC Comics in June as part of their mini-relaunch, with 24 new titles, are Bat-Mite, Bizarro and Prez, described as all "offbeat, irreverently funny titles." Bat-Mite was a character created in the fifties, by Bill Finger and Sheldon Moldoff, as a foil for Batman, equivalent to Superman's mischievous Mr Mxyzptlk, but has[...]

By Garth Ennis and John McCrea, it took a sicker, lighter, weirder take to the DC Comics universe, but then telling the poignant story about the lead character's life and death that touched all who read it It is remembered fondly, and fuelled a fight to get the entire series collected for the bookshelf. Well, the[...]
