Although its not under any new title I think this is the largest amount of #1s since Rebirth(not including non-main label stuff), so what are your thoughts so far? I won't list creative changes like Percy on Nightwing etc. even if they seem like mainstays
>JL by Snyder and Cheung/Jiminez >Superman/Action Comics by Bendis and ??? >Plastic Man by Simone and Lopresti >Hawkman by Veditti and Hitch >Teen Titans by (I assume) Glass and ??? >Titans by Abnett and ???

I wish the book wasn't bi-weekly, I love both the artists but I'd prefer consistent stories by both of them. Maybe if the book was split into an A- and B-team with each issue following one with a specific artist associated. Also I don't like how much mythology changing Snyder claims to be doing, I usually prefer that for solo books
Venditti on a new solo character might be good for him after dealing with a all-star cast for so long, I just hope it doesn't get too dragged down by Hawk-lore
H Y P E
What else has Glass done aside from SS? I like that they seem to be re-organising the team around Damians generation as opposed to a mismatch, here's to hoping that Blue Beetle etc. get confirmed soon. I can M'Gann being on this team(Remember when the DCYou MMH book was meant to lead to a martian storyline which reintroduced her? I distinctly remember this being a thing)
Meeeeh. But it'll probably reunite Kori and Dick, alongside some more interesting heroes from his gen. Sad to see Wally is still stuck here though, I'm surprised Snyder didn't want him to go full JLU mode
Parker Lewis
getting a champions vibe from this, hopefully it sticks to telling a good story rather than meandering off about how bad all the "olds" are
Kayden Bailey
Emiko should have kept her mouth mask in this new costume
Daniel Russell
John Stewart got kicked out by the Asshole Guardians of the Universe?
Oh its J'onn, he is finally out of limbo.
Joshua Nguyen
Greaaaaaaaaaaat. Another "here is the true True TRUE secret history of Hawkman" story. By fucking Venditti.
Ugh.
Zachary Price
>hyped for simone marvelfags get out
Kayden Morgan
I'm a S6fag, you get out
Grayson White
Simone has done more things for DC than Marvel.
Easton Jones
Nice cover
And this is how they'll get Titans show synergy
Easton Reed
Simone may be a shit person with some shitty runs recently but she's still overall good. Definitely the best SJW writer you can find.
Michael Morales
Only interested in Justice League when Jorge Jimenez is on art.
Carson Carter
terrible Simone has done nothing but write incredibly shit comics for DC and cause problems. There is no way anyone who actually likes DC comics likes her. Her absolute "best" is mediocre.
James Rodriguez
>NO TRUE SCOTSMAN
Zachary Rivera
>Simone may be a shit person with some shitty runs recently but she's still overall good Simone is not even a real writer and only got into the comics industry by getting attention from throwing SJW tantrums.
Gavin Campbell
wow every single line of dialogue on this page is offensively bad.
Brandon Howard
It's not really a large set. They had their New Age of Heroes books (although they have been staggered).
It would really have made more sense to renumber JL if DC had sufficient balls to really change the line-up a bit more: adding Hawk Girl and returning Jonn is really not that big of a shake up. Mera on the league was a good addition, and they could have easily dropped WW and Batman (since they are in B&TB) and go back to the auxiliary team member concept that is historical often used.
Also, notwithstanding whatever they do with Flash War, they could have put Wally here as the speedster as well. It's not like he's NOT been a League member for decades or something.
This looks like it will barely last mini-series length.
Except for recognizing that Starfire and some of the others were a bad mix this really again doesn't seem to call for a renumbering. It's like New 52 TT, when they broke it up into two volumes? Why?
*
Really agree with some here - only Plastic Man is really interesting looking. If Jimenez wasn't doing the art duties on JL, I probably wouldn't be bothering with it.
Jayden Diaz
>WHALE SIMONE Pass.
Austin Sanchez
mediocre would be better than anything Snyder's ever done
Hunter Rogers
>mediocre would be better than anything Snyder's ever done Simone will never write anything as good as Black Mirror or Court of Owls.
Nicholas Lopez
Or American Vampire. Or After Death. Or Wytches. Snyder has done fair amount of total irredeemable dogshit but he has also written some really good stuff. After Death stands on top honestly. It's a shame people never actually cared to read it.
Leo Ross
>since they are in B&TB That's a mini
Grayson Sanders
those are shitty books
Eli Edwards
They're streaming a publisher's panel like the one they did for Rebirth at WonderCon, too, so I'd expect more shit to get announced
Jace Roberts
Maybe >Titans line-up >TT line-up >I hope and pray for a new SS book by Priest
Has anything else been hinted at? Blue Beetle has ended so he'll show up somewhere, NSM looks to be ending soon
Alexander Myers
you are shitty books
Blake Sanchez
>be Batfag >have no semblance of standards
David Jenkins
Here's hoping the new Hawkman will be good enough to persuade DC to release the Hawkworld ongoing as trades. The last one got cancelled before release.
Katar and Shayera are my favorite rendition of the Hawks.
Colton Roberts
Why are people sexualizing terrorists and serial killers, thats like opening a strip club with a "sexy bin laden" and "Josie Dahmer"
Justin Nelson
Not really digging the arm sprouts that Martian Manhunter has. At least he’s on the team with W, S, and B. Now if they can fucking get rid of Cyborg then the line up would be better... almost like DcAu
Jacob Russell
Weak Robin pose
Colton Foster
I'm honestly not the lest but excited for a single thing DCs announced. I'm doublely disheartened by Bendis forcing me to drop two of my books and being the reason super Sons is getting the axe even though it sells better than any of their cancerous "dark metal new age books."
Julian Diaz
When will Brandon Peterson stop using Poser?
Wyatt Robinson
user that cover is absolute ass what the fuckare you saying?
Grayson Reed
>tfw most writers will ignore MMHs DCYou series :(
The second issues cover doesn't show him or Aquaman so yeah, its DCAU. Neither solicits mention them either, they're getting bussed off to their own books
Eli Butler
>Two faggots comparing garbage.
Josiah Johnson
Oh thank god....
Christopher Ortiz
the preview was no fun
Joseph Thompson
exactly. jesus, just write a good hawkman story.
Leo Hall
they are releasing new stuff now so what the fuck more new stuff?
are they going to do a huge clean up of the current worst sellers or what?
if mera and sideways die soon im going to be so pissed
Jaxon King
Mera is a mini
Connor Robinson
Bunch of news is coming out of Wondercon get hype
Jacob Davis
I can't wait to watch socially awkward comics creators sweat nervously on stage for an hour
Aiden Stewart
You're basing characters not being on a cover meaning they're off the team? Don't be retarded.
Parker Collins
It only got cancelled because Johns got more control. Johns wants to destroy the DC universe and recreate it in his image.
Brayden Miller
This will either be the best of the bunch or be so bad that it kills Plastic Man's marketability forever and renders the character unusable. It's going to be the latter. Whale Simone is one of the worst writers ever.
David Edwards
How long until DC finally admits that mixing the Silver Age "alien cop" and Golden Age "reincarnated Egyptian" origins was a mistake?
Gavin Peterson
This doesn't make any sense. Why didn't Johns stop DC from publishing PAD's Aquaman trade when it conflicts with his Aquaman run then?
Chase Harris
Not really looking forward to any of these, but Justice League is gonna look great.
Eli Brooks
Plas still has The Terrifics
Henry Cruz
and also that mini series isn't even in continuity
William Perry
Relaunches and creative team changes should not count as phase 2, and neither should minis. They didn't even bother to get a new writer for Titans. DC is the new Marvel.
Ryder King
Anons is sore that Johns run got reprint and Hawkworld didn't get past pre-orders before getting cancelled. It's that simple.
Nolan Wright
so people aren't aware DC can actually publish good comics
Bentley Brown
They should try to reprint something better than Hawkworld then. That shit only served to fuck up the Hawks even more.
Caleb Nguyen
Fuck off with your reincarnation shilling, Johns. It's better than anything you've ever written. Even other people deserve to have some royalties.
Matthew James
Simone's full of white guilt and pandered to freaks and scammers like Neo-prodigy and Riley Arkh Project.
Kevin Gomez
>Implying I read Johnshit Do you really think it was a good idea to write an origin story then decide that it was a contemporary story after being published? It fucked with earlier stories that had the Hawks in it after CoIE.
I'd rather they finish reprinting Suicide Squad since there's only ~1.5 trades left.
Noah Myers
I rather they just give Codename: Knockout an absolute completed collection
Colton Wright
>Do you think it was a good idea Nobody cares about your nerd knowledge, faggot
Ryder Bell
GL relaunch
Nolan Flores
>Cyborg went from a Titans member to a JLer >Wally went from a JLer to just a Titans member IT'S NOT FAIR
Landon Smith
>Both books are frequently awful and peaked decades ago.
Hmm, really makes me think.
Kayden Brown
And, if you read what I suggested, it was to start the first arc of Justice League WITHOUT Diana and Bruce and to call them auxiliary members, and let some new people be developed without them - not that they be off the book completely. A nice 6 issue arc would be matched by and just saying they are off dealign with whatever the Eff is going on in B&TB.
>NSM looks to be ending soon
NSM has been relaunched as New Super Man and the Justice League of China.
Isaac Morris
>New Super Man and the Justice League of China. And its latest solicit mentions their final mission
Luis Anderson
Wow you're too new to realize it's actually good, a solid book and it's okay like some stuff from creators you hear Sup Forums deriding.
Chase Ward
This. She was ahead of her time, I will give her that.
Zachary Jones
You're probably a fat dyke or enjoy them.
Jeremiah Taylor
I feel like this may be due to deciding to put them in a JLI with any other foreigners.
It's dumb to do another rename and relaunch but DC seems to be running around like a chicken with its head cut off for months now if not all of 2017.
Supposedly there are announcements this weekend so maybe that'll be one of them.
Lincoln Campbell
where is cyborg?
Julian Sullivan
Chilling with Aquaman
Levi Gonzalez
That can't be good, are his cybernetics water proof and for salt water? That can be incredibly corrosive.
Brody James
>Plastic Man has a high chance of being dogshit Fucking god damn it.
Grayson Lopez
I just wanna know who's taking over Hal n Pals, or if they're reshuffling the GL books
Christian Lee
Seeing Simone on it let me know how fat dykes feel when normal people write gay characters.
Andrew Allen
Looks like 2018 will be even worse for sales than 2017.
Not good.
Isaiah Barnes
Well, JL and Superman/Action Comics should sell well at least. Everything else should do decent or will end up cancelled due to low sells I guess.
