*Sidenote: I believe that is the first time Negan has directly mentioned Lucille since the conclusion of "All Out War", which was like 30 issues ago. It's nice to see that even after years of imprisonment, he still hasn't forgotten about his beloved trademark weapon. 👆
He'll get her back before this event is over in an epic way... Can't wait to see that. 😈

Same. Looking forward to it. Would love to see Negan smashing up loads of Whisperers. Perhaps a finale fight between him and Beta could be on the cards.
Looking forward to Stephanie's group getting more development. If I remember correctly isn't Ohio (where Stephanie's group is) quite a far distance from where Rick and co are?

Tom King: There are two answers. The first answer is what "Rebirth" is about and what it's been about since Geoff first called on the phone - it's about re-joining the DCU, all the books tying into each other, continuity coming back in a big way. And I'm a big continuity nerd. And the idea of using a villain who's not traditionally a Batman villain - he's kind of a Justice League villain - in a Bat-book very much appealed to me.So we're saying, like, Batman has to deal not just with these crazy people in Arkham, but he has to deal with the entire DCU.
On a personal level, I first encountered Psycho Pirate - I was a little old for Crisis on Infinite Earths, but I re-read it insanely over and over again, and seeing him there and what a huge role he played, I was like, why does this kind of weeny, kind of cowardly man - how does he challenge, and why does the Anti-Monitor need him? And then you slowly realize that he has this very specific power that makes him one of the most powerful people in the entire DCU.
And that always struck me. As a kid, I remember just being thrill by that, the fact that this sort of sickeningly weird guy could somehow hold the entire universe hostage and kill Flash. So… I was always just fascinated with that character.
And he remembers past continuities.
King: Yeah, you're too smart for me. I'm trying to hide something I should be hiding.The fact that, as established in Grant Morrison's Animal Man, the Pirate remembers continuity that no longer exist, is one of the appeals of having him in this book, and tying him into the story spine of the greater DCU.
That's pretty vague, but that's the best I can do.

The whole shit with Geoff and continuity was such a lame cop out. Seriously, why have the new 52 in the first place if you're just going to bring back all the post crisis characters?
