Remember that whole "meat and potatoes" thing from a few months ago? I feel like Rucka being put back on the book is more or less meant to be something to that effect. After the nigh-universally panned Finch run, DC seems to be saying "Fuck it, let's fix this shit by giving it to a previous writer the fans liked.".
Not bad thing, I'm looking forward to it, but this whole thing kinda reeks of damage control.

As far as teen books go, Gotham Academy seems to get recommended a lot but I haven't read it, I think it actually shares an artist with Silk.
Robin, Son of Batman has been an incredibly solid sort-of Teen book, the art and story have been 10/10.
DC doesn't have much in the horror genre, a la what Marvel's doing with Carnage right now, Indie-wise Providence is really, really good if you like Lovecraft and don't mind reading short stories. Injection is a really awesome horror-like story coming out now, check it out (I don't want to say too much about it, could ruin certain reveals in the first story arc).
Team book-wise, Justice League has been really good for it's duration, go grab the collected Nu52 run and start reading.

People should be more excited about this

The hand is going to be Wally West, but in the conclusion of the story he is going to morph into a black teenager crushing the hopes of all Wally fans forever once and for all, lol.

Yeah.
The last two are continuations of things that already existed (also they sell okay), the first two are written by writers that are going to be on books DC are pushing, Clean Room is written by Simone so she has a stable following, and all the minis and the other two books are selling like ass.
Them having a small handful of Vertigo books based on previously established properties does seem pretty likely now.

Alright, I laughed
>>81204900
Kind of weird how Wally, JSA, and LoSH all got wrecked after Johns left. He will find a way to save all of them, I hope.
>>81205057
I believe in Based Cereal Lord.
>>81205057
well he did say JSA, LoSH, and Shazam were all getting something in Rebirth that would be big enough for its own announcement
Serious question-
Do you think anyone will have worn their trunks in the new timeline made by Rebirth?
>>81205057
That happens to just about every book of his
He's tried fixing Hawkman like twice.
Aquaman is the only book off the top of my head that averts it. It wasn't until Bunn did it go down the drain.
JL is probably going to be like this since Jurgens and Humphries are writing the last two issues.
>>81205114
alright, /co/, Sophie's choice time:
Would you rather have Johns FINALLY do the Shazam ongoing
or
Wally comes back with his family for Johns to write a Flash Family book
>>81205114
yeah he said Wally was gonna play a big role in the Flash books after Flash Rebirth too
>>81205156
Booster Gold was alright after he left. And Action Comics was mostly ok though New Krypton didn't go anywhere.
>>81204252
>When the original Jack-in-the-Box died, it shattered two families and gave rise to new heroes…and new villains. Now, the true secrets of that day are revealed—and they may end the Jack-in-the-Box dynasty forever.
...What?
The first Jack died, then his son took over. Then Jack 2's wife got pregnant, so he retired and coached Jack 3. Where were two families shattered?
>>81205192
The second no question.i liked Orlando's Shazam one shot better than what Johns has done.
>>81205196
Krypto vs Dex-Starr is the biggest lie he's ever told, I'm still bootyblasted

DC is unsure of the reception King and Humphries will receive. Idea is to throw a known writer who pulls in money teamed with a no-body people read the oneshot like what they read and keep on with the ongoing thinking it will be the same quality as the one-shot.
>>81205244
Billy characterization: Johns > Orlando
general mythology stuff: Orlando > Johns
What is the over/under for how long most of these ongoings stay at $2.99. I say 50% chance all the books stay the same price for a year or longer.
>>81205275
But King is a much better writer than Snyder.
>>81205275
>Thinking modern comic book sales are dictated by quality and not how many variants it has
>>81205548
They'll stay as long as they double-ship. Once those start dropping the prices will rise accordingly.
>>81203030
This sounds awesome.
>>81205594
Uh they are? Variants only serve to inflate a company's standing in the industry.
If your book doesn't pull 20k on its own its gone among the big two.
You're assuming the trends on high profile books like Spider-Man and Batman are the norm for books that have never seen sales higher than 40k.
>>81203037
Like... Most of Marvel's writers?
Slott, Soule, Lemire, all big names that have for the most part had much better DC work under their belts.
>>81205589
his name doesn't have nearly the recognition yet, though, and name recognition is what sells comic books
>>81203111
Maybe when he does RHATO, but his work on Titans is godawful
>>81205761
What about marvel makes all their talent dry up?
>>81204395
How so?
>>81204305
So is Sheriff of Babylon a mini or not? Could have sworn I saw it solicited as an 8 part mini but the first trade only has the first 6 issues
>>81206036
It was originally an 8 issue mini, then it got bumped up to 12 issues
now King says he already has a second series for it planned
>>81205988
Things like Omega Men and Prez were never going to sell in floppies but they're niche enough to gain an audience in bookstores. DCYou was about trying to find more Dial Hs. DC Rebirth is about publishing trades twice as fast.
>>81206036
It got upgraded to 12 and King says it's ongoing so I guess they'll renumber after that or something.
>>81205919
Ridiculously strict editorial control, including straight up re-writes of stuff without informing writers.
You never hear writers complain about it because Disney/Marvel makes them sign contracts swearing they won't talk bad about their practices. If there wasn't something like that you'd at least hear SOME creators complaining about things, but there's not a single peep, and that is extremely suspect.
>>81206036
It was extended to a 12 issue mini recently
>>81203367
>Meanwhile, Superman pays a visit to a man who once head-butted him.
>>81206081
>DC Rebirth is about publishing trades twice as fast.
Literally the best thing they coulda done.
>>81205761
>Slott
>better work at DC
lol no
What did he even write there that was so good? JLA Confidential? Justice League Adventures? The only notable thing he wrote there was Arkham Asylum, and that's just one story.
Lemire's cape stuff has always been hit or miss and Soule is a hack so bringing them up is pointless.
>>81202925
>Lobdell
Oh for fuck's sake it never ends
>>81202761
Question: What else has Bedard written?
>>81205988

>now with Rebirth, the double shipping means trades get out faster

>>81206161
Lemire's cape stuff has been mostly quality when he's doing solo work.
And that's just straight up wrong about Soule. Like, everything he put out besides Superman/Wonder Woman before signing his Marvel exclusive and getting saddled with Inhumans and Death of Wolverine was very good quality stuff.
>>81206171
>Question: What else has Bedard written?
REBELS vol 2, GL New Guardians 1-20, pre-new 52 GLC after Tomasi left
>>81206171
Bedard's best thing at DC is R.E.B.E.L.S. and it's being storytimed this week.
He also did the KFC one-shot and Convergence Speed Force that were fun. Kind of a hit or miss guy though.
>>81206248
