Captain Marvel is black now? Cool.

No longer Captain Marvel. They are calling him Shazam and going full magical background now.

Cannot wait! He may finally be more than a 2nd rate Superman clone.

I'm tellin you man, comic book netflix!

I'm tellin you man, comic book netflix!

They already do that, though.

Gotta be some new digital initiative, especially given that Marvel's supposed to be day-and-date on everything by the end of the month (finally).

Probably a new digital-first weekly/biweekly serialization format.

Anyway: Earth 2 interview with James Robinson. Other than a few familiar elements (Helena Wayne, Garrick/Scott/Pratt in lieu of Allen/Jordan/Choi), it's pretty clear that this has nothing to do with any previous Earth-2 or JSA book.

Also, new Jay Garrick design:

 

[Nesotenso]

Captain Marvel is black now? Cool.

The name change is just stupid though.

 

[Slayven]

New Shazam design revealed:

...probably not the best first image to use.

Yes......yes......we are slowly getting back to the good ol days.

 

[ReiGun]

Also, new Jay Garrick design:

Ewwwww

 

[krypt0nian]

Rooting him in fantasy and magic is the best news ever. It's my fave New 52 stuff as a group.

Get him on Justice League Dark and chasing down Big Bad Evil now.

Blecch. The incorporation of the lightning bolt is especially hideous.

Thank god. New initiatives like this without a Reboot kick the possibility of a Tab Ras Reboot even further away.

Do what you gotta, Marvel. Just keep my Longshot continuity safe.

I hate this, when they update a character's design but feel like they have to keep as many traits as possible from the previous one. Let the helmet go, the rest is ok.

LOL oh my god

Perez could make that design rock ass!

 

[LiQuid!]

Sometimes I'm glad for being more of a Marvel guy than a DC guy. Marvel's content with just raping my wallet, but DC seems to be in the business of mindrape as of late.

 

[Valravn]

I think i threw up a little when i saw the new Jay Garrick design.

oh hell, thats who that is supposed to be?

Agreed, as long as they don't mess with Nov-..oh.

 

[Slayven]

Could have easily been Eletro Fast Bug Guy.

 

[Valravn]

oh hell, thats who that is supposed to be?

Yup, Garrick wants to be hip like the youngsters!
And Alan Scott is getting a redesign, they're probably going to make that one awful too.

 

[Satch]

he actually looks a bit like spider-man

 

[ReiGun]

And Alan Scott is getting a redesign, they're probably going to make that one awful too.

Alan Scott's old design is pretty bad though (pimp ass purple cape aside). He really has no where to go but up.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I wonder if they're introducing a digital subscription service that includes new books? That would be so unbelievably tempting but I don't think I could shut out my LCS. It might single handedly destroy Comic Book Stores though.

I don't think the market is ready for that, unfortunately.

You know, as much as I appreciate everyone getting their memories fucked with by these redesigns, I feel like all of the old Golden Age costumes are pretty shitty.

 

[tm24]

Agreed, as long as they don't mess with Nov-..oh.

We must stay strong in our faith that Nova will continue being the biggest badass in the 616

Also, the fuck at the Garrick redesign.

 

[Nesotenso]

An new updated version of MDCU with an intuitive interface would be great.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I don't think the market is ready for that, unfortunately.

"Infinite" sure makes it seem like...oh wait...

Shit.

Maybe it IS a reboot? That's where Nova's flying to?

oh god help me

Brevoort's only denied it outright a few dozen times. Good god.

Man, I don't know!!

I got a right to be scared, man, don't yell at me!!!!!!

YOU EVER LOOK AROUND OUT THERE??

THE SHIP'S SINKING.

ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN!!

AAAAAAAAA

You're the one who was insane enough to think that the current business model could last another 30 years (though I may have misinterpreted you)...

EDIT: Oh god what the hell was going on in JSA before the reboot?

 

[DonasaurusRex]

[FoneBone]

EDIT: Oh god what the hell was going on in JSA before the reboot?

There was some crap going on with Jade and the Starheart post-Blackest Night, and Alan got his back broken so that outfit becomes his brace. I don't remember much else. It was lousy.

Alan Scott died in the last pre-relaunch issue of JSA, I think.

[Anticitizen One]

Jay Garrick and Shazam reboot designs scream "90s Xtreme". I guess Shazam is now a "thug killah" and uses magic guns to cap his foes

 

[krypt0nian]

WUT

 

[Satch]

thug killah

wat

 

[Shin Johnpv]

Ohh man the new Jay Garrick is just bad, I may grow to like the new Shazam but I need to see how they're handling him in the comic. Giving that a wait and see.

 

[Anticitizen One]

thug killah

wat

oversized hood = gang banger

Also
Everyone else in the new DCU packs heat so why not Shazam?

 

[krypt0nian]

Wow, that's a bizarre read on what's been revealed so far. Seek help.

 

[Slayven]

Jay Garrick and Shazam reboot designs scream "90s Xtreme". I guess Shazam is now a "thug killah" and uses magic guns to cap his foes

And Mary Marvel a single mom working the pole, and Freddy a young dope slinger trying to get out the game. But Freddy needs one big score to set him and Mary up for a better life.

 

[Satch]

Wow, that's a bizarre read on what's been revealed so far. Seek help.
