So, after all the speculation about who the art team on Simone's Wonder Woman run was going to be, it turns out to be: exactly the same people on the book before. Not that I mind, or anything; they're awesome.

They revealed that a couple weeks ago, didn't they?

that's the first i heard of it, but i don't follow ww. i'll definitely check it out with simone and the dodson's wroking on it now.

 

[CConn]

at Heroes con i believe

Thought so.

It's great they are keeping the Dodsons around. Usually, it's hard to keep those superstar artists on one title for long.

 

[CConn]

Lateness aside, Heinberg's arc was damn good as well. IMO.

i liked it, too. i'm sure simone will do a great job.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Is Busiek writing the Superman title for the foreseeable future? I want to get back into Superman but I'd rather shove hot pokers up my nostrils than read Johns and/or Donner's Action Comics.

I like Donner's run on Action Comics. That's the reason why I'm buying two Superman comics, because of Donner. Now that Donner is gone, I have no reason to continue picking it up.

 

[sethcohen]

apparently, even on bizarro world, hal sucks!

 

[CConn]

Which would mean he rocks in the regular DCU.

How do you know the goodness of Action isn't due to Johns as much as it is Donner?

Duffie is writing John Stewart? ****ing awesome! Maybe he'll stop sucking in the comics now too!

 

[Kebab gud]

I hope we get a Bizzaro-Batman Ongoing

 

[CConn]

Duffie is writing John Stewart? ****ing awesome! Maybe he'll stop sucking in the comics now too!

I dunno. He never stopped sucking in JLU.

 

[jaydawg]

I dunno. He never stopped sucking in JLU.

Except for the fact that John Stewart was always awesome in JLU.

 

[Speedball]

John Stewart joins the JLA in issue 14!

and .. Earth-1?

Wow...way to ruin the end of the Sinestro Corps War, DC.
That's obviously Kyle as a GL again, and not Ion.

 

[Kebab gud]

yeah.. but several people hare remarked that his Green lantern symbol is closer to Alan Scott's logo then the corps...
you can barely see it there .. and on this you can also see hints of it

i see some people believe he will take over for alan scott.. personally i cant see why they say he has his logo..

 

[yenaled]

Someone called J'onn as Black King ages ago. Can't believe they were right.

 

[CConn]

Wow...way to ruin the end of the Sinestro Corps War, DC.

Uh, yeah, I could've told you that a month ago.

 

[CConn]

Except for the fact that John Stewart was always awesome in JLU.

Except for the fact you obviously have no taste.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Wow...way to ruin the end of the Sinestro Corps War, DC.

Where have you been? Kyle has been a GL on the solicits for every month before this month so it isnt anything surprising.

 

[batnkevlar]

Lord Havok and the Extremists are to the DCU what Squadron Supreme is to the Marvel Universe...

looks cool though...

 

[GNR]

Outsiders seemed interesting,but god DC,way to ruin a good project with an odd artist like Turnbull.I'm sorry,but I've seen fan art better than that.

 

[GNR]

Which would mean he rocks in the regular DCU.
