In October the company will publish Midnighter & Apollo, the first part of a six-issue mini-series that reunites the two heroes, who are gay and have an on-again off-again relationship.
“They have a firmer idea of who they are, and they’ve become stronger and more confident together,” said Steve Orlando, who will write the comic, which will have interior art by Fernando Blanco and covers by the artist known as ACO.
HELL YEAH NIGGA
interior art by Fernando Blanco and covers by the artist known as ACO. Hell yeah.
> Apollo and Midnighter
fuck yeah. Everyone buys this so they get an ongoing.
>>84164566
Apollo looks like shit
No doubt younger and more twink like to draw in the barely existent female crowd
Just make him a silver fox, god damn
>>84164566
>The characters, who made their debut in 1998, were gay analogues of Batman (Midnighter) and Superman (Apollo). They dated, eventually married, adopted a child and, thanks to comics, had their history rebooted. Midnighter most recently headlined his own series, which ended in March. The comic, written by Mr. Orlando, was lauded for its portrayal, which balanced the hero’s volatile global adventures — and a friendly flirtation with Dick Grayson, the former Robin — with a domestic life that included using dating apps and being sexually active.
>Mr. Orlando, 30, who is bisexual, has an affinity for Midnighter. “Getting to write a character that helped me when I was younger and boost the signal to a new generation has been an honor,” he wrote on his blog. Of the new project, he said, “This is the World’s Finest Couple — kicking back and making each other better than they are on their own.”
Fernando Blanco previously worked on B&RE.

Orlando's Midnighter ongoing did cancellation numbers, I doubt the addition of Apollo is going to improve them all that much. This is just a bone they're throwing.

>>84164729
Yeah, directly to me, so I'm good.
>>84164566
I wonder if this is the start of Rebirth Wave 2?
>>84164729
Who cares? We're essentially getting another trade of Midnighter. It might even lead into an Authority ongoing.
>>84164729
If DC's bone throwing means I get minis like this and Six Pack/Dogwelder I'll take it
>>84164800
I think it's more like DCYou minis wave 2. Remember Prez is supposed to be coming as well.
THANK YOU BASED DC. Why are they so good to me?
First they give me Prez second part, then Ennis Six-Pack and Dogwelder and now this.
>>84164809
Seriously, this.

>DC doesn't use double-shipping to subsidize low-selling books, only Marvel does that Spencer said
>>84164566
Fernando Blanco is really good and drew a lot of Phantom Stranger which was criminally underrated.
>>84164681
Midnighter will be in Nightwing, too. Everybody wins.
>>84164839
Why do you have to bring this up? This is a happy thread. Why can't you just be happy and enjoy things?
>>84164857
I can be happy and laugh at a company dummy for being wrong yet again.
>>84164566
Marvel will announce another character coming out of the closet to take the limelight off DC now.
Rebirth continues it's unimpeded march of being the best of the previous universe, the New 52, and DCYou at the same time.
What a time to be alive. Just give Tom King a REBELS book or something and I'll be set for life.
>>84164888
>Tom King a REBELS book
Don't make me want things that won't happen
>>84164831
WHEN ARE WE GETTING A FIGURE, FOR FUCK SAKES DC
>>84164887
more likely no one really reports this and keeps pretending like DC hates gays
>>84164906
Well the NYTimes announced it not fucking CBR.
>>84164923
Is DC PR actually doing something decent this time around ?
>>84164888
>Tom King a REBELS book
Stop stop, I can only get so erect.
>>84164566
What a lovely thing to wake up to...
Thanks to that one voicefag i now always read Apollo in a stern serious voice and Midnighter in a lilting camp gay lisp
>>84164893
It could happen.
Writing Batman gives writers a certain boost of power at DC.

>>84164566
>cringy pandering is fine when DC does it
>>84165022
it's always fine when it panders to me regardless of company
>>84165022
Its a mini of characters that exist have a long ass time, and they are not killing or replacing anyone, so yeah
>>84165022
There is only one fag here anon and that is you
Holy fucking shit, I love you orlando.
>>84165022
>pandering
Fuck off underage fag. They've been gay for a long ass time.
>>84165022
>Going back to the basics is pandering now
It's official we can add 'pandering' to the list of words 4chan has drained the meaning of, like epic and cuck

>>84164626
>Apollo looks like shit
He looks fine. The only thing he needs is his long hair back.
>>84164566
>another Bat-character getting a book
Can DC do anything different? Now even Nightwing's supporting cast gets comics while other heroes starve for attention
>>84165070
I think he should grow his hair back too, but ACO's Apollo really is pretty good. Look forward to seeing the new interior artist draw them.
>>84165078
>trying this hard
I hate the entire Batfam but this is weak.
>>84165070
that's the only reason why I'm okay with his previous design
>>84164729
>This is just a bone they're throwing.
Good. I'll take it. It's a shame that an entertaining book like Midnighter's solo got canceled in the first place.
cooooooooooooool :)
>>84164681
Ship it with Apollo. That's what I'll be doing!
Question was Prometheus gay himself or did he take it from behind for weeks just to get at Midnighter?
>>84164923
DC announcing something on the NYTimes instead of the usual USA Today route is rather surprising,
i have to admit
that make me happy :)
>>84165135
these are the important questions
>>84165135
I honestly have no idea,it was all part of his master plan
>>84165135
He probably just downloaded gay shit into his brain. Which makes it better.
>>84165135
It'd be more hilarious if he was just that dedicated, but I'm guessing bi at least, or it wouldn't be convincing.
God I hope he comes back to throw down with Apollo and Midnighter.
MMM that's some good shit right there (ok hand sign emoji) 100
Midnighte IS cooler than batman.
Honestly he seemed like he was enjoying it a lot. Promy is probably at least bi.
>>84165140
NYT has raved about Midnighter before (after the cancellation, sadly), so they already had an in, I guess?
>>84165162
I'm not hip like the kids out there but I think I agree
>>84165147
>>84165150

>>84165174
Yeah, I get the feeling that this is something Gustines would be excited to write about, and a journalist often has some amount of leeway to pimp something they have a special interest in.
>>84165216
>it's just a coincidence they are getting a mini now even tho the previous Midnighter comic had abysmal sales
I just want a release date for Prez 2: Prezlectric Prezaloo.
>>84165214
you could probably ask Orlando on twitter, though clean it up and phrase it like "did he actually have feelings for Middy" or something
>>84165236
Is Sixpack and dogwelder pandering too now, since it's getting a sequel too inspite of not selling.
>>84165236
What the fuck are you complaining about ? are they replacing batman or superman ? i mean for fuck sakes i get it that its cool to complain about everything and being a contrarian but you just sound like a little bitch
>>84165236
but if you can't support an ongoing a mini is the proper step down
>>84164923
https://twitter.com/thesteveorlando/status/748521663713673216
>>84165259
Yep. People generally only get upset over pandering when they're not the ones being pandered to.
>>84164566
>Midnighter & Apollo
>Not Apollo & Midnighter
Sounds so much better the other way around.
>>84165236
Gay white males are not seen as diverse enough by the pc crowd so don't worry
>>84165254
Might do that, he has responded to me before on twitter,nice guy all around
>>84165236
it had terrible sales but was very critically acclaimed, and those who were reading it loved it and were very vocal about it.
DC cares more about fan reaction than sales most of the time, unlike Marvel.
They keep stuff going as long as people love it, as long as they're not actively losing money (see most of Vertigo, or Jonah Hex)
>>84165236
You sound like a massive faggot. Go eat a dick or something.
>>84165281
jfc almost everything on that front page is cancer
>>84165236
Who is Six Pack/Dogwelder pandering to?
>>84165236
DC isn't Marvel. Midnighter didn't do well in sales but was really good.
DC actually takes pride in their art
>>84165022
Midnighter could suck all the JL's dick & you would still be the bigger faggot in the room.
>>84164681
TOO FUCKING BAD
>>84165290
And Kate Manhunter, jamie first solo and Jason Forestorm.
>>84165308
>Midnighter could suck all the JL's dick
Don't make me want things I can't have
>>84165236
The previous series was good and criticaly acclaimed.
Why do you think Omega Men continued on when it was selling in the 9000's?
>>84165290
>comic about a gay character gets critically acclaimed in 2016
Stop the presses
>>84165306
>DC actually takes pride in their art
Anon, no. Maybe more than Marvel, but just no.
>>84165271
Yeah, it makes perfect sense, and you get a trade-sized story out of it.
DCYou sales were also mostly poor, this might actually find more readers, since a lot of people got back on board with Rebirth. Not mega-seller readers maybe, but definitely more attention.
>>84165284
As a shelf autist, I think this way makes more sense because you'll likely be putting it on your shelf after the two "Midnighter" trades and the titles will look better all starting with the same word.
>>84165161
>It'd be more hilarious if he was just that dedicated
This.
I will miss Slutnighter but I'm glad he can be with his husbando again now
>>84165290

It was one of the best action comics on the shelves, anon. Non-stop thrills.
>>84165167
>not enjoying hate sex with your enemy
Male, female. It doesn't matter. Come on, anon. It's like you don't even know how to be a good evil villain.
>>84165326
So Omega Men 2: Electric Boogaloo when?
>>84165351
Alonso wouldn't even call that a homo book, they don't deserve recognition for it
>>84165374
It wasn't just sex, he was into the romance of it all. Dude fell for Middy for sure.
>>84165022
Go back to your HYDRACap shit.
>>84165333
We get another trade, it's something that there are closely related trades already out for that retailers can use to sell the mini, the sales climate for DC has picked up considerably given Rebirth--it's the time to bring back the stuff that clicked creatively and see if it can do better.
>>84165386
It was nominated for a GLAAD media award.
>>84165429
And I'm still furious about it
>>84165254
>clean it up and phrase it like "did he actually have feelings for Middy" or somethin
Why do that? That wouldn't tell if Prometheus is gay or not. Don't be scared to offend people.
>>84165420
Yeah, I think it's smart. Trade buyers are a considerable customer group, and DC trades tend to have longevity.
ANYWAY MIDDY IS BACK
Where Were you when DC decided to save capeshit? They're literally pandering to all their fanbases.
>Double shipping for casualfags with all the big titles
>Hannah Barbera
>Young Animals
>Vertigo
>Niche titles like Prez, Dogwelder, Middy and Apollo
>Rebirth wave 2 already in works
>>84165448
Not about offending people, just if it looks too shitposty he might not respond. Can't scare him off while trying to get the answer.
>>84165429
Middy was too I think. Who won?
>>84165429
So was Harley Quinn. That's not really saying much.
>>84165436
That he didn't win? Yeah.
>>84164566
Hnnngh
>>84165471
Lumberjanes, I think
>>84165478
Both that Angela was nominated and that Middy didn't win.
>>84164955
I always just read Midnighter as slightly deranged and deep and Apollo as vaguely Captain Hammer. Only they both sound british. Being bi myself never much enjoyed lisping gays
>>84165022
End yourself
>>84165525
Yeah I read that wrong and thought you were mad at Midnighter's nomination. I get it now, and yes. Middy wuz robbed.
>>84164566
Holy shit I was literally hoping for something like this the other day
I thought it was a crapshoot since Middy's solo sold so poorly in like every way but here we are!
BASED DC
>>84165461
> all their fanbases
Rude.
>>84164955
>and Midnighter in a lilting camp gay lisp
lol I can't even imagine that. I've always heard his voice in my head as something rough and gravely. Apollo tends to have the same voice I give to Caption America, something (like you said) stern and serious, yet with a gentleness to it.
I don't think I've ever imagined either one with a lisp.
>>84164955
link?
>>84165540
I wonder if either Apollo or Midnighter was meant to be British. You never learned who they were before Ellis Stormwatch.
>we will have a issue of Midnighter & Apollo counter the shooter at the Pulse club and then finish the day with some jello shots.
>>84165540
I met one irl once. It was surreal and disturbing and I'm 100% sure he didn't just happen to be a gay man with a lisp. Normally I'm open about being bi but around him I was watching my words all night because I didn't want to be dragged into some cringey 'us gays, amirite?' conversation
>steve orlando
nice
>>84165598
I feel the same way. I had hoped for an eventual Middy/Apollo team-up book but after seeing the poor sales for Middy's solo I had lost faith. But now I'm so freakin' excited for this. Especially since something like this could help get us a new (good) Stormwatch or Authority book in the future.
Why can't Apollo/Midnighter/Dick be made a canon threesome?
>>84165709
Because Dick is a pure slut and not a slut slut
>>84165670
This. It's good he'll be back to do this. His Middy was great. I can't wait to see what he can do with Apollo's character.
Does this means that the JSA ongoing will not be written by Orlando?
>>84165709
Because Robins are allowed to be gay because Wertham
>>84165709
Dick is too busy with Batman and Owlman. (or Roy, Deathstroke, Tiger, and a million other men [spoilor] my god Dick is a little slut and that's not even adding in all the women too [/spoiler] )
This would likely pick up the Bendix plot thread from previous run. Best case scenario, this is a bridge between Middy and eventual Authority launch. Also I hope they get Hitch to draw a variant cover for this. He did one for last book too.
>>84165774
When somebody asked him if he was researching Johnny Thunder for JSA he said no. He's never implied or hinted he was working on anything JSA related, people just got hopeful and assumed
>>84165774
It doesn't mean anything. The wave 2 books are probably in 2017.
>>84164566
>NYTimes
Wow so DC really is trying harder at PR huh?
It was on the front page for a bit.
>>84164566

Absolutely fabulous. Can't wait.Can we get rid of Andrew's New 52 costume already though?
>>84164627
>“This is the World’s Finest Couple — kicking back and making each other better than they are on their own.”
Orlando, you cheeky little cunt.
>>84164681
Middy flirting with Dick is the most fun, but he's gotta wind up with Andrew. I just want Orlando to give him the character to make me understand why of all the guys in the world that he could have, Middy chooses to be with him.
>>84166013
> hot
> enjoys mayhem almost as much as Midnighter does
> they can fuck without Midnighter worrying he'll break him
but yes, Apollo as a character instead of Midnighter's +1 is my dream.
>>84165951
I like it when ACO draws it.
>>84166013
Have you read any of the Authority run preceeding the Nu52 Midnighter stuff? If not, go read that, it's pretty explicitly stated.He loves Andrew because when he looks at him, he doesn't see a million ways to kill him, he doesn't see any.
If instead you mean "why does Midnighter like this board of wood" I have no answers for you, aside from again, go read The Authority, he had a little more character there.
>>84166045
Yeah, seeing Apollo fleshed out more is high on my wish list for this. And now it can happen!
>>84165301
>almost
you mean, everything.
It's all just garbage.
>>84166070
>Have you read any of the Authority run
I have read what has been storytimed, and enjoyed the hell out of it. The entire series is on my to read list. i just haven't gotten around to it yet.
That is an incredibly sweet reason within the context of it being Middy.
>>84166070
I really like how The Authority implied that Apollo (at least until Jenny) is the one thing keeping Midnighter from going full dictator/murderer.
>>84166045
>but yes, Apollo as a character instead of Midnighter's +1
That is exactly what I meant. If they could find a way to develop him the way Midnighter has, my god. I might unironically love both of them more than Batman and Superman. Middy already has Bruce beat in my book.
>>84166046
I like it more, but I still think it could do with the treatment most New 52 designs needed, which is less lines and a bit more simplicity. I am an absolute sucker for the classic costume though. There was awhile it was my absolute favorite.
>>84166187
I can't remember, out of the couple of times Apollo appeared in Middy's book did he have his halo?
>>84166095
but middy is on the front page
>>84166247
Didn't he have one in I, vampire?
>>84164566
People still pretend to like the edgy faggot muderders that were bought by the company they were making fun of? I guess contrarians will do anything to be unique.
>>84166247
Looking through my saved pages. This is an early one.
Dick and Midnighter is fun, but the pair is only fun because THEY'RE NOT DATING. It's fun because Midnighter push Dick buttons and Dick, while tsundere, came to appreciate Midnighter friendship. If they started fugging their whole relationship would become boring and stale.
Also, i want Dick as Middy's best man in Midnighter and Apollo's marriage.
>>84164839
Double-shipping is good, though.
>>84166253
yeah, and we don't like gay shit.
>>84166280
>>84166247
Here however...he does.
Also, it seems they remembered to give it to him after this issue.
>>84166278
>no fun allowed

>>84166278
Funny thing. Some of us don't have a problem with heroes killing when they don't spend 75 years talking about how bad it is to kill.

It's bait. There's always at least one person who makes a "edgy faggot Midnighter" post in these Middy threads. Just ignore him.
>>84166420
I always thought that Apollo was Justice League's material. Not Midnighter, though, but Apollo.
But really, i'd rather a new Authority book that didn't sucked ass. DC is in good relationship with Garth Ennis, right? Call him and ask him about writing the book. It's perfect. Just approve any Section 8 related thing that he might ask in return. Everybody wins.
>faggotry
won't even pirate
>>84166486
Imo Apollo would be fun at cosmic level.
>>84166486
I think I prefer Orlando's Midnighter to Ennis', but Authority book would be awesome either way. Has some challenges in the DCU, but nothing a good writer can't fix.
Somebody needs to update the gay re/co/mmendation chart to include this
>>84166438
I think he drew some of the BRE issues I didn't completely hate, but maybe his other stuff is Even better than that? I can hope.
>>84166584
I just think that Orlando have a lot on his plate right now, but if he had time i'd like his Authority as well.
>>84166595
It needs to come out first, anon.
>>84166614
Imagine if they both did an arc, respectively. Never gonna Happen of course, but how great would that be.
>>84166614
>Orlando have a lot on his plate right now
What is he doing right now? I know he's writing Supergirl but what else?
>>84166361
Nah man, Pepsi is shit and I will fight you to the death now
So I guess DC hired a new PR department since they are advertising their diversity books to the main stream media?
Good for them. Now paid anti-DC shills like Outhousers will have less ground to stand on when criticising DC
>>84166638
Supergirl, Bat crossover, rumored JSA and this.
Not that much really
>>84166638
He's doing the first big Batman crossover in Rebirth, "Batman vs the Monster Men" or something. But that's the one other thing I know of.
>>84166674
>He's doing the first big Batman crossover in Rebirth, "Batman vs the Monster Men" or something. But that's the one other thing I know of.
Night of the Monster Men, featuring three interior artists.

>literally no one will ever use or reference a Morrison character at all
>>84166793
>by himself
No. He's co-writing it with the rest of the regular writers of the books.
>>84166785
Not a favorite style for me, desu senpai, but could work out.
>>84166486
I like the idea of them being like the Black Ops version of the JL. Handling the weird Cosmic shit that needs killing and hiding their existence from the mainstream HARD, because they'd be outclassed and the moral situation would be a mess.
>>84167207
>because they'd be outclassed
Any Authority with a lineup at all like the Wildstorm lineup would wipe the floor with the JL. The Doctor alone could solo them.
>>84167207
I think they tried something like that with the New 52 Stormwatch, but the series never really found its footing. It might work better now.
>>84164626

Not only does Middy and Apollo get a new mini-series, it's announced in New York Times! Good job learning from your mistakes, DC, and finally getting into 101 marketing.

I do too, the long hair was kinda girly.
>>84167577
Lol
>Grayson, I want you to by my best man.
>Wow. I wasn't expecting that, Midnighter, but sure! I'd be happy to.
>I have one requirement though.
>Okay?
>You're free to plan the bachelor party, but you have to wear pic related to it for the entire night.

This is true.
While I do miss his long hair, I'd be lying if I didn't admit his short hair look is growing on me. Whether he gets his long locks back or keeps them short, I don't think I'd mind either way.

As much as I like the idea of Grayson being best man at Middy's wedding, it really should be Tony the bar owner instead. That guy's based.

Dick as the Maid of Honor.
>>84167433
Me too. Apollo was cheesy before, now he's hot.

>Never see Apollo and Midnighter NOPE the fuck out at a mention of the four of them working with Captain Atom
Aww, Nate was going through a really bad patch at that time. And maybe Rebirth fixed him, too...
>>84167684
Drawfags! We need you!
>>84167718
I could get behind theat, but Dick would need to be there.
>>84167743
That he is!
>>84167790
I, Vampire crossover is the only Midnighter-related thing I haven't read yet. I should get on that.
>>84167702
What about neither very short or very long?
>>84164681
Being a Dicknighterfag is suffering. Let's hug, fellow shipper.

Apollo is Greek, but the British stole him so he has a British accent.
>>84167837
I would be okay with that too.
>>84166315
HNNNNNNNNNG

>Being gay just to get at the hero.
Thats some Black Mantra/Zoom tier levels of dickery.

Enjoy your harlequin novels

kek
I see you, DC.
>>84168116
Prometheus fits right in with that crowd.
>>84167930
Wrong Apollo. Though to be fair, I don't think anyone really gives a fuck about Wondie's Apollo.
Awesome, glad they found a way to keep OrlandoNighter happening
>>84164566
Nice.

HNNNNNG aside, this is about where short hair Apollo started growing on me. Overall I still prefer Hilch's original, fuckhuge, angelic Apollo, yes... but I like this look better than all longhair versions but that one.

Nice to see Apollo get some lovin' in this thread. I'm a huge Midnighter fan, but it'd be cool to see him in the spotlight a little more.
>>84168250
You're delusional when it comes to Midnighter. Nighthawk, no matter the incarnation, is nowhere as good a character.
I'll give you Hyperion, if only because Apollo never had a solo before and had no chance to develop as a character.
>>84164566
DC ACTUALLY DID IT!!!
THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN!
I never liked Apollo before he moved to DC, partially because of the ridiculous long hair. It was bad enough that most of his characterization was basically "Midnighter's waifu", they had to make him look the part too. He's one character whose redesign I approve of.
WILDSTORM REBIRTH WHEN?
