DCU gets remade - all books are #1s, Geoff Johns and Jim Lee on Justice League, more

Started by -Pr-367 pages

They just teased that the next issue will be called "Rebirth", and with Red Lanterns being it's own series, unless they're cancelling it, at least we'll still have the Red Lanterns.

Also New Guardians hinted at a New Corps with Arkillo too.

Earth 2 was god awful this week.

So far, I see it as a failure on every front

^ Yeah, I flipped through it a second time, and I think I have to agree. It's a shame, because the first issue showed a lot of promise, imo.

Alan's new costume reminds me of Trumph, and he was lame back in the 90's.

Seriously, where's the cape? Alan's cape was boss

Not surprised... It is Robinson after all.

There's a very 90s-esque vibe to a lot of NuDC's costume designs (not saying that as a bad or good thing- just noting it).

I am enjoying earth 2 overall and it has received some solid reviews. i have yet to read #3, though.

anyone think they are going to destroy most of the rainbow lanterns? except for a few for each corp?

Nice, didn't notice they was calling it "Rebirth". Wonder how Rankorr is going to stay alive out there in space when all those other Red Lanterns couldn't! Read any of those Darkstars comics yet? I liked them, nice reading about Ferrin Colos, Munchuk and Chaser Bron, they also had John and Donna join them as well. Cool seeing them working with the Legion and GL Corps during the Trinity event against the ancient Malthusian Gods called The Triarch.

Hope they bring them back, maybe have another big event with all 3 would be nice. This could bring more diversity to the DCnU as well.

🙂

I bet the new big bad in Earth 2 will be Spectre.

Something for the Wonder Woman fans:

Cheetah is back in DC...

DC Comics has revealed that Tony S. Daniel (who recently left writing duties on Detective Comics) will be taking on art duties for two issues in Justice League (written by Geoff Johns). Issue #13, which hits stores on October 17th, will introduce the villainess Cheetah to the New 52. The issue will be the first of a two-issue story arc.

"I'm thrilled and honored to again work with Geoff Johns on this Justice League arc,” Daniel told DC's The Source. “It's going to be a lot of fun and I can't wait to work on my favorite characters. Justice League is the first book I pull because of the big stories and the great Jim Lee art inside. I'm very happy that I get a chance to focus all my energy on making my best artwork for Geoff and the fans of Justice League."

Additionally, Johns teases the connection that Cheetah will have with both Wonder Woman and the Justice League, as well as next year's Trinity War event. “Tony and I will be re-introducing one of DC's iconic villains - the Cheetah - and uncovering her mysterious connection to Wonder Woman and the Justice League,” the writer says. “For me, the Cheetah is up there with Black Manta, Sinestro and Captain Cold as one of the most iconic villains in the DC Universe, and she'll become a major villainous force in 2012 and beyond. The fallout from Justice League #12 starts here as we head towards next year's Trinity War.”

As a JSA fan, how do you like it so far?

It kinda seems alright to be quite honest. I just think its way too early to be writing it off.

Most definitely. I mean not every single issue is going to be A+ material. Unless it's from a prestige run like Sandman or Lucifer. Claremont's X-Men run is one of my favs, but not every single issue is good.

Ok, this has me interested. She's generally been a high-level beater in power, she is a goddess, but Cheetah only rarely gets to fight non-WW characters (the excellent crossover with Flash and Zoom being one of them).

Unrelated to that except in also dealing with cats, Catwoman has a new writer, Ann Nocenti, who's worked on Daredevil before.

This I also approve of.

DC takes the Unit Market share for June!

Replacing Winnick?

Really don't know how I feel about that... Actually, I do... I hate it.

^^ You're not giving it a chance? She was great on Daredevil and she has been positive on Green Arrow.

I'll give it a chance; I just don't have much confidence it will be as good as Winnick's run.

He-Man #1 kind of sucked, actually it did.
