But of course they didn't.

When asked for reaction to the news, Marvel Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso replied “Marvel plans editorial moves out far in advance and we would be unable to implement something like this for at least six months.”

Impeccably accurate

It looks real. If it's fake, they put some effort into it.

Oh yeah, nearly forgot about Deadpool #7. It's in my regular pull list anyways so can't wait to read some retro weirdness.

There's a short time skip to college that's going to happen when the writers change for the book later this year. So it's not outside the realm of possibility.

Wait so it's actually the future of this current DC Universe? Like "in continuity"?

 

[GrandHarrier]

Wait so it's actually the future of this current DC Universe? Like "in continuity"?

No. It's the future of the Beyond Universe. It's its own Earth.

Earth 12, I believe.

*DC editor asks a magic 8 ball* The answer for today is maybe! Come back next week for you regularly scheduled installment of "Continuity? What's that?"

I liked this one

Better than this one

But thanks, guys!

Beyond is the future of the Animated universe of the late 90's and early 00's. Does it tie into modern day comics? Sometimes, when they want it to. DC's continuity is just dumb and what's great about Beyond is they just pick and choose and don't give a rats ass. Easiest book in the world to get into, especially if you've watched the cartoon.

 

[slightconfuse]

I need to start reading batman beyond it sounds pretty schway

 

[akira28]

hrm...so like...an angry femme Damien-type ultra-bitch with a Bat-shield? I'm in. Don't make her too dislikable, just make her untouchable, impeccable, and 3x as snarky as Damien.

 

[Acid08]

No comic is more schway brah

 

[ElNarez]

y'all lists are wack. mine reigns supreme as the best fucking list there is. NOW ANNOTATED.

DC Comics
Action Comics #19 (get hype for one good issue then two shitty ones based on Diggle's notes but written by Daniel)
Animal Man #19
Batwing #19
Detective Comics #19 (Hoping 'Tec 900 shows these motherfuckers how to do a milestone issue right YES I AM STILL BITTER ABOUT AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #700)
Dial H #11
Earth 2 #11
Green Arrow #19
Green Lantern #19
Phantom Stranger #7 (seriously, now that Didio is only plotting, it's good! try it)
Stormwatch #19 (no idea what the fifty-two to expect with Starlin, but hey, willing to try)
Swamp Thing #19

Marvel
All New X-Men #10
Deadpool #7
Indestructible Hulk #6
Thanos Rising #1

The Third Category
Snapshot #3 (more diggle yay)
Uber #0 (maybe? I mean it's a kieron gillen joint but I'm not sure what the #0 means)

 

[Acid08]

Too much DC, fuck your dumb list.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Stormwatch has been shit. Don't know if I should check out #19 or throw the $2.99 in the fucking trash.

Don't know if Phantom Stranger #7 is going to be an acceptable jumping on point.

Need someone to explain to me why I should give Dial H a chance. It looks fucking stupid.

Batwing is just dumb. It's a plane. Not a dude. (Why should I check #19 out???)

 

[Captain N]

Wait so all #19 issues are WTF issues? Like Green Arrow #19 will be a WTF issue?

 

[ElNarez]

Too much DC, fuck your dumb list.

My dumbass list has annotations and shit. What does yours have? Nothing. Because you haven't made it yet. CHECK TO THE FUCKING MATE.

Stormwatch has been shit. Don't know if I should check out #19 or throw the $2.99 in the fucking trash.

A) You're kinda sorta wrong? But it's a new writer with a new wackadoo concept so, maybe it could work for you and your inferior tastes.
B) It's been a series of done-in-ones. You won't get lost
C) Because it's the best man. It goes to all kinds of weird places, all under the guise of this wacky silver age concept. Plus it ties in with Flash #18's cliffhanger. Because, again, this comic is fucking crazy.
D) Yeah, but new team and new guy, maybe it could work? Like, six bucks is one sandwich and some soda I think probably. That's not that much money to throw around.

 

[frye]

Dial H has been sold to me as being written by a guy who really likes 90's Vertigo (to the extent that he only did it because Berger was editing the book) so if that's your thing....

 

[GrandHarrier]

I'll give some of these a try. But if they disappoint I'll rue the day I listened to you.

 

[frye]

also stormwatch will probably still be terrible

Pretty sad what early 2000's good Wildstorm has become.

 

[Dysun]

Detective Comics 19
Green Arrow 19
Green Lantern 19

Age of Ultron 4
All New X-Men 10
Indestructible Hulk 6

Makes sense. Not sure what we're going to get out of it if Age of Ultron does take place in 616...

edit: Given that he's not imprisoned,

Spoiler

I guess we can assume that nobody's found out that he's Otto yet, though again with AoU...
