Who do you want to be the ones to write Action Comics and Detective Comics #1,000?
>>83538943
Anybody but Bob Kane on detective
His ego is bad enough as is
The only acceptable things:
Either they make page-for-page remakes of AC #1 and DC #27 (or, hell, DC #1 itself) with new artists on each page/panel.
OR
They pretty much ignore the milestone and have the same team as usual writing/drawing.
Anything else would, I think, be interesting and "hype" before/during the release....but with enough time to look back on it, we'll all say, "Jesus, what a cringey cashgrab." The recent Detective Comics "spectacular" (#27, I think) is still kind of awkward to remember. And in terms of buying, reselling, and hype overall, I don't think there's any sustained interest in that issue.
A simple #1000 for each would be better in the long run, IMO.
They both have to be jam sessions. Get as many people who worked on the book, and possibly Superman/Batman to contribute to it.
>>83538943
Bendis?
>>83538943
Morrison on AC #1000
O'Neil on DC #1000
>>83539134
>have the same team
No thanks, any excuse to boot Tynion from Detective I'll take.
Lobdell on Action. Make it a story avout Redhood going back in time and helping Superman safely reach Kansas.
Bennet on Detective and have it be about Harper and Duke's wedding going lolwrong but it all works out in the end because they love each other and are boos for lyfe
If Action doesn't have at least Morrison and Johns don't bother.
>>83539134
They won't ignore it. It will probably have multiple stories form a bunch of star writers.
>>83538943
Have them both drawn by Neal Adams, but for god's sake, don't let him write it. Morrison for Action Comics and Brubaker for Detective Comics
>>83539226
You know Dan Jurgens, Kevin Smith and Brad Meltzer are considered star writers, right?
Alan Moore as writer and Alex Ross as the artist
For comparison, Action 900 had the Black Ring climax and then these
>>83539293
For Superman only Jurgens would qualify.
>>83538943
Max Landis on AC
Scott Snyder on DC
>>83539319
And I don't have Tec 900 but I think it was during the new 52 (maybe #19?) and they acknowledged it somehow.
For Detective Comics #1,000, they should see if O'Neil is up for an issue. If not him, I'd go with Miller on a leash.
For Action Comics #1,000 maybe have Morrison do a Golden Age, low-power Superman type story? Or they could get Ennis to do something, busy as he is.
>>83538978
Wait shit I'm retarded he's been dead 18 years
>>83538943
Morrison on AC
King on DC
>>83539416
It's still an acceptable answer, anon
Me.
I'd write Detective Comics 1000 as an elseworlds story where Bruce Wayne and the Joker are a married gay couple who have difficulty raising their adopted son Jason.
>>83538943
3 stories
MORRISON and GAIMAN both get stories, and short stories by Byrne and O'neil on their respective former characters
>>83539226
>Johns
Please no
You know it's going to just be one of those big gay compilation issues with a bunch of shitty stories done by a ton of writers that they've done a million times
Never going to happen because he hates DC guts but Moore. He wrote one of the best endings to Superman and I would have loved to see what he would come up with for the #1,000 issue
>>83539329
>max Landis
He'll no that kid can't write superman.
>>83539278
>not loving Neal Adams' insanity
everyone laugh at this pleb
>>83539329
try harder
curt swan's ghost on AC
Morrison for Action Comic just because he's top 3 Superman writers EVER, he's still in the game, he has a relationship with DC and he'd treat it with the respect it deserves. Maybe a rotating cast of artists, Superman could time or multiverse travel and each one could focus on a different era or something
A Denny O'Neil / Neal Adams reunion for Detective Comics for no other reason that makes sense other than it would be cool
>>83539416
Hahahah. Holy fuck.
>>83539319
>goyer
>lindelof
kill it with fire
>>83539198
'Tec 1000 won't happen for at least 3 years. I really doubt Tynion will still be on the title by then.
Christ they're gonna tie these into some shitty event comic aren't they?
2-Part story. Part 1 is Action #1000 end with cliffhanger that continues in Detective #1000, and Alan Moore writes both.
>>83539968
Say what you want about his other works, but Johns' Action Comics run was one of the best in recent history. Plus Johns will probably still be the creative director, so he'll have the pull to do it if he wants.
>>83540645
There's no need to, they're going to sell huge on their own.
I have a theory that Action 1000 is going to feature the return of New 52 superman/pre-crisis Kal-L
Simenson or Byrne for Superman
Frank Miller for Bats
The only correct answer is Morrison.
>>83540713
>Part 1 is Action #1000 end with cliffhanger that continues in Detective #1000,
You realize these two will happen years apart from each other, right?
>>83540906
It's a time travel story
>>83540033
If they could somehow work their shit out with Moore and get him to do Superman it would be insane. People would shit themselves.
If they could get Moore, then:
Superman - Moore
Batman - Miller
The 80s kings returned to their thrones.
>>83540959
Do you really want Miller on Batman again? Outside of getting the next issues of ASBAR pf course.
>>83539319
Ugh, that Black Ring story was too good.
>>83540798
Talking Louise by the way
>Superman wears whatever shitty scratchy edgy design Jim Lee is pushing that month
>"Here to 80 years more!"
>full page double spread advertisement for whatever new garbage Zack Snyder movie
You know it's coming
Does anyone know where I can find the entire pre-new 52 action comics and detective comics? Can't find them anywhere, even buying them seems impossible.
>>83540982
If they could somehow get him uncrazy, yes.
>>83539134
Can you imagine the shitstorm if DC did a tribute to DC #1's cover?
>>83540906
i know it happens 3 years apart...that's why it's a cliffhanger ya dinus
>>83541005
lol wut
>>83540982
Trade Miller for O'Neil, the other God of Batman, then.
>>83541012
Miller was always crazy. It's just 9/11 push him over the edge.
>>83541035
Just got off summer break from uni so could be cool to see if I can get through it over the summer.

What numbers are Action Comics and Detective Comics up to currently?
>>83541163
Yeah looking at it it'll probably take me a whole lot longer, still got plenty to read for what, the next year or so?
>>83540748
That seems too long to wait to bring him back. I don't see this reign rehash going longer than 30 issues.
>>83541216
Please note that in the 90s the Superbooks were in a constant state of crossover called the Triangle Years and you'll need to either download the other books too or just skip that era.
>>83541185
Action 957+958 and Tec 934+935 out this month
>>83541247
Oh yeah I heard about that, I'll have to cross that bridge when I come to it.
>>83541280
Thanks. So if they keep the bimonthly schedule, Action should hit 1000 in June 2018 and Detective in September 2021.
>>83541314
There's crossovers at other times too for both Action and Tec but that's probably the worst sustained period. Went on for 10 years. I still haven't read it yet.
>>83541347
So DC has 5 years to make up with Moore.
>>83541280
Even if they keep double shipping, which it's very unlikely, issue 1000 will only come around in 2018, then.
>>83541437
I don't think he would be happy unless they gave up the Watchmen rights. But it sells too well to do that.
>>83539191
Mark Waid on Action
Paul Dini on Detective
>>83541478
Plus they just integrated Watchmen into the main DCU in a pretty fundamental way.
>>83541533
That part is actually why it could make sense to me. Just settle it in as a meta thing and let it go.
But it's just too much money to give up. It's a bestseller every year.
>>83541562
Moore has shown it's not really about the money.
I wonder if they could come to some deal giving him credit or whatever without giving him payment for everything. Like a public apology and maybe a symbolic payment.
I imagine with the right, sincere offer he'd be happy without demanding royalties. His beef seems to be a matter of principle, at least to him.
>>83541437
>>83541478
>>83541614
>Moore writing for DC again ever
You anons can't really be this delusional
>>83541749
Stranger things have happened. If DC really tried who knows what agreement could be worked out?
Remember Scully was the reasonable, rational one who would explain why what Mulder thought was impossible, and was almost always wrong.
>>83541749
Anon, if I told you in 1995 that one day Jim Lee would run DC and Image would be the beloved home of critically-acclaimed indie darlings, you'd have rightfully called me crazy. Yet, here we are.
Never say never.
>>83541865
>>83542084
Delusion it is then!
Of course the only acceptable answer is Legendary DC Comics Superstar writer Geoff Johns
>>83541865
>>83542084
Nah, the kind of thing it would take to bring Moore back is just impossible. Even if DC got down on their knees, begged forgiveness, and literally sucked his dick, I don't think he'd still be over how bad they screwed him back in the day. He's STILL mad about all these years later and he doesn't even care about money. Some people aren't buyable.
>>83542282
His Action run was really good and his Superman arc wasn't too bad (though undercut by shitty art and him not being able to actually do the full run he had planned).
>>83542337
Yeah, but he's the hot topic guy to hate. Also, his E1 Batman is very divisive.
If you want my personal opinions, you have Grant Morrison or Geoff Johns write Action(Maybe even both on a collaboration), and O'Neil on Detective. Hell, by then we could have someone like King establish themselves as a top flight Batman writer, or even the truest of hell-freezes-over moments and Alan Moore comes back for a one off. I wouldn't put it past Moore to write AC or DC 1k simply because he wants to.
>>83542307
>Even if DC got down on their knees, begged forgiveness, and literally sucked his dick
What if DC ordered a full-page apology in the New York Times along with a full media/social media blasting it everywhere, and arranged for Grant Morrison to suck his dick, on livestream?
Morrison at least might do it.
>>83538943
Johns on AC
Dini on DC
>>83542884
What if DC cancels all their superhero comics and relaunches them in a format targeted at 8 year olds?
>>83542992
There's a pretty good chance we'll get another relaunch before Detective Comics hits 1000, at least.
In a perfect world, Action comics 1000 wouldn't feature a comic story. If I were a DC editor I'd spend the months prior to publication having real people send their stories in about what Superman has meant to them. The people who have been saved from suicide and depression and addiction because of reading comics, real stories about the hope that can be instilled in real people by Superman, and all of the good that he represents. It could be both a thank you to the fans, and to the greats who have written those life altering stories. There's never really been anything like that, and I think it's the kind of book that could really make a difference.
>>83538943
Get Georg Ohm to write it. He's really good at this kind of stuff.
>>83538943
Bendis
>>83543313
That would actually be really sweet. Get people to send in stories about how he's affected their lives and what the big blue boyscout means to them. Have it illustrated by a bunch of different artists. I'd love for dc to do that especially with a character like superman who is such a cultural icon.
>>83543313
They basically already did that with Action 800 though I think all the people were fictional.
>>83540982
>Miller turns 'Tec #1000 into ASBAR
Yes I want this
>>83541478
Why would he care about Watchmen rights?
Make them super sized issues with multiple artists and writers
>Action
Cereal King, Morrison, and short story by Moore
>Tec
Morrison, Gaiman, short story by Miller
>>83546328
He doesn't anymore. He cares that, in his mind, DC backstabbed him and tricked him into giving them the rights.
>>83546437
Why do you think it's about *him* specifically? DC has backstabbed countless amounts of people over the years and Moore was on record more than enough times as a guy who'd like his artists and fellow writers to get their fair share.
Reducing this huge ass problem down to "lmao he just salty because of Watchmen contract" really is just another form of putting on rose-tinted glasses and pretending everything is great and the hobo is a meanie
