Still confused and a little disappointed Nightwing switched to red. Oh well, guess I'll get over it...
:lol :lol :lol
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.
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:
The big climax that sets the stage big time for what is to come in 2012! Deaths and departures! The funeral of an Avenger. The final fate of the Scarlet Witch. Plus, a new lineup and direction for the Young Avengers.
DC's trade division just keeps knocking 'em out of the park, don't they? [/sarcasm]Mazzucchelli said:DC just sent me this book last week, and I really hope people dont buy it. I didnt even know they were making it, and I dont understand why they thought it was necessary several years ago, DC asked me if Id help put together a deluxe edition ofBatman: Year One, and Dale Crain and I worked for months to try to make a definitive version. Now whoevers in charge has thrown all that work in the garbage. First, they redesigned the cover, and recolored my artwork probably to look more like their little DVD that came out last year; second, they printed the book on shiny paper, which was never a part of the original design, all the way back to the first hardcover in 1988; third and worst they printed the color from corrupted, out-of-focus digital files, completely obscuring all of Richmonds hand-painted work. Anybody whos already paid for this should send it back to DC and demand a refund.
Would buy weekly.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.

Word Balloon with Mark Waid
Listening to this right now. Scott Snyder piece is more of the same from him, but the interview with Mark Waid is pretty freaking great. Lots of history, goings-on, and speculation about the comics industry.

Children's Crusade is actually ending this week, hasn't it been going on since like Secret Invasion?
Guys, I would buy the captain marvel book we just created in this thread.
HOLY SHIT your avatar is Nova
ive thought it was a bat all this time

heh... what was the name of that character whose power was to turn into a super powered black guy?
The Brown Bomber, he was also thinking of calling his power CPT because he could stay changed for only an hour or so.

Well the character turned out to be a dream.i hope whoever approved that character got fired.
Tony Isabella said:I will say that I created Black Lightning after convincing DC not to publish another "black" super-hero on which they had started work. The Black Bomber was a white bigot who, in times of stress, turned into a black super-hero. This was the result of chemical camouflage experiments he'd taken part in as a soldier in Vietnam. The object of these experiments was to allow our [white] troops to blend into the jungle.
In each of the two completed Black Bomber scripts, the white bigot risks his own life to save another person whom he can't see clearly (in one case, a baby in a stroller) and then reacts in racial slur disgust when he discovers that he risked his life to save a black person. He wasn't aware that he had two identities, but each identity had a girlfriend and the ladies were aware of the change. To add final insult, the Bomber's costume was little more than a glorified basketball uniform.
DC had wanted me to take over writing the book with the third issue. I convinced them to eat the two scripts and let me start over. To paraphrase my arguments...
"Do you REALLY want DC's first black super-hero to be a white bigot?"
Okay, he wasn't precisely their first black super-hero, but I made my point. The Black Bomber stories were deep-sixed and I went to work on my own creation.
McDuffie's "Brown Bomber" was an obvious one-off satirical character, who was actually based on a superhero that DC was going to publish before Tony Isabella convinced them not to and came up with Black Lightning instead. He was called "The Black Bomber," and he was a white bigot who turned into a black strongman in times of stress. I sh*t you not.

If he had a skateboard, he would have a series today.
So is the Nova in those previews supposed to be Richard Rider or somebody else?
Didn't nova say something really dumb in that point one one shot?
Hey, are you guys reading Batman Odysessy? Because its amazingly bad.

No, they don't explain why Deadman is suddenly a pharaoh in Egypt or who that purple hippo is. Or the string in Batman's knees?

Now that is some incredible dialog!
I DID have to go
NOT if its stupid
He sounds like he would be willing to do some more Marvel work for sure. I wouldn't mind him taking over ASM if Slott left after EotE or picking up a Spidey title when they add some for the movie release. I also wouldn't mind him going back to F4 after Hickman is done.Yeah this was pretty great. Was going to link to it myself. Surprised that his Boom books are not 100% creator owned. Sad that his relationship with DC is strained.
He is clearly having fun writing Daredevil. Loved his video interview he did earlier as well.
He might announce some digital creator owned work at Mega con
NOW I want a book called "Thug Killah". Dudes with magic handguns and capes and shit. If that was this Shazam book is, take all my money, DC.
