The Batman By Chiang And Azzarello That Vertigo Never Published
Vertigo had a reputation for reinterpreting classic DC characters, so we thought what if we did that with Batman, perhaps as part of the Vertigo 20th Anniversary? We got the go-ahead, and Brian wrote the first script and I started doing the visual development My Batman: Black and White statue was intended to come out[...]

The Wonder Woman We Almost Got In The New 52
Sue, at DC Women Kicking Ass, has been reading the new TwoMorrows volume on Cliff Chiang and his work on the DC New 52 Wonder Woman And they learnt something new about how it all went down. Chiang had no idea until March during a dinner with Dan Didio at WonderCon that Wonder Woman would be[...]
The New Gen-13 To Be Written And Drawn By Tony S Daniel? (UPDATE – NOPE)
And it would make the only Wildstorm-derived titles in DC's lineup after the cancellation of Grifter, Voodoo and Stormwatch. Though we are also still expecting Jim Lee to revive WildCATS soonish… ish Any year now.

All-New DC NOW! New Comics Coming In July
Joker's Daughter Riot? But also it looks as if DC Comics has taken a leaf out Marvel's relaunch book, even after they knocked down such an approach eighteen months ago Remember that Newsarama interview with Bob Wayne and John Cunningham? Nrama: I do notice though, and obviously, in the media, we try to look at trends in the[...]

Batgirl Really Seems To Think Dick Grayson Is Dead. We're Not So Sure.
"He's gone, isn't he?" And all that past tense, it doesn't just seem like she means he gone to Chicago, does it? "It hurts to think of him" – is this an issue that Gail chose not to write? And what does it mean for Forever Evil #7, delayed now until the end of May? Because, yes, it[...]

New Teen Titans #1 Confirmed, By Wil Pfeifer And Kenneth Rocafort.
Earlier this week, we stated that DC would be relaunching a new Teen Titans book Newsarama just confirmed the news, and gave us the creative team of Wil Pfeifer and Kenneth Rocafort. No news yet on Nightwing being relaunched as Grayson, or a new Gen 13 book, but it's only a matter of time… Nrama: We know that[...]
First Look: DC Comics' Futures End #0 (BIG TIME SPOILERS)
Which, I think, is very fair and I was happy to agree. DC Comics however did not agree to include Futures End #0 in that bundle So they aren't part of any embargo. Handy that, as an store on the East Coast has sent me a few scanned panels of that Free Comic Book Day title, for[...]
The Accidental Black Widow Double Feature – Look! It Moves! By Adi Tantimedh
You could also argue that the Marvel and DC universes became single continuums due to the writers and editors deciding to link everything together after writing them for a while That may be a commercial impulse designed to sell more comics, but creatively, it had to have come from the same creative impulse that wants[...]
One Challengers Of The Unknown Too Few In Deadman Vol 5?
DC Comics has been collecting early stories of Deadman from a variety of DC publications, and is now onto volume 5. That collects stories from Deadman #1-4, Secret Origins #15 and Challengers Of The Unknown #85-87. Unfortunately, it appears to have missed out the first part of that Challengers Of The Unknown story in issue #84. Which even had Deadman[...]
What Would John Constantine Do?
I had his grace but he said he doubted DC Comics would let me do it, as they owned the character I then wrote to Neil Gaiman and Jeff Lemire, pitching the idea and asking for their help with who to pitch at DC They wrote back writing of the recent change around at DC,[...]
