Editorial may not be interested in the white streak, but a lot of the fandom is (most fanfics, for instance, include the white streak).
And glad to see him looking to expand the roster outside of the core 3. Not entirely sure [I]who[/I] would be added, but there's a lot of potential.
Also good to see when we can expect to see more of Biz and Artemis.

Well, I guess I guessed some things right for once! I meant about when Art and Biz will come back. But that one was easy, just by looking at the latest solicits. So, gueeeeez, not much of a Sherlock I am ;___D.
Nice to hear that he wants to stay in the book as far as he's having fun. It means that, so far, he's nott writing just because it's only a job. Motivation is important.
Nice to hear, too, that he wants the book to be varied: that way the book dosen't stay stale, at risk of being cancelled because he runs out of ideas for certain themes or there is no other writer that can come with a good one. On the other hand, certain fans won't like it, because they really, really want the book to focus in a kind of stories alone (street level ones). I think, with the potential Jason bears with himself, it's like asking for Cap America to only have spy stories, for example (I know there is not real comparition in their popularity, but Cap, too, is a character that allows a lot of different genres). A true pulp hero lives a varied range of adventures, and Jason feels like on at his core. Touching different genres would fin his nature. But maybe making the change of to be more spaced would help too.
Him having material prepared up to issue 50 gives me hope in the book not being cancelled for a while.
So it's not a straigh Thunderbolts-esque situatikn with the kids. But Jason caring for kids. Ok, I like it too.
A pity about the white streak, but well, not really a problem. They probably don't want him to look old: his design for Mother Panic had it I think, but he was older too.

Maybe I read too much into the fact that Lobdell even pitched a story about Roy's resurrection but doesn't that indicate that DC has no plans to bring Roy and the other HiC victims back?
Otherwise there wouldn't have been any need for Lobdell to pitch something in the first place (I don't like the pitch. I thought Lobdell would somehow use Godspeed). And based on that, Roy probably isn't Leviathan either.
I'd like to hear the reasoning of editorial why they aren't interested in the white streak. And don't tell me that Jason looks too old with it. It's the artist's fault if Jason looks too old and not the fault of the white streak.
Expanding the Outlaws is fine for me, but I'm also glad that Lobdell was "reeled back in" when he tried to add the Creeper. Creeper looks like the Joker - and I don't want someone like that around Jason all the time. There are enough other DC characters that better fit the team and the overall theme of a family of misfits/outcasts.
Who's the sixth kid? RH:O #37 only shows five kids (including the baby) and #38 also only mentions Reiser/Doomed and "DNA, Cloud Nine, Devour and the enigmatic Babe in Arms". Am I missing someone?
Speaking of expanding the Outlaws, who do y’all think and who do y’all want added to the team?
Right off the bat, both Roy & Kori are both unlikely since Roy is dead and Editorial won’t let Lobdell use Starfire while she’s in JL:O.
Maybe Leviathan is Jason after all, from another universe.
Honestly, I don't know who could be at this point. It they're not Roy, who seems to be a pretty clear suspect, I'm open to anyone else being them. Someone who's connected to the bats and the arrows and also a bit to the supes somehow, and has been hurt by their association with them. I'm clueless.
Sam Lane?
Bendis seems to be under the impression he's freaking Nick Fury and not just Thunderbolt Ross.
[QUOTE=Dark_Tzitzimine;4484994]Sam Lane?
Bendis seems to be under the impression he's freaking Nick Fury and not just Thunderbolt Ross.[/QUOTE]
He doesn't have the slightest link to Barbara, not even in a threedegree proximity. Hmmm... But at least, Lois and Clark role would made sense. Maybe it's someone from the future? And Bendis wants to link books (ha ha ha, yes, definitely, Lane is Ross, ha!). I don't know. Maybe it's a totally new OC, but I hope it's not.
In any case, eh, I guess we can drop this Earth Roy from the suspects list I guess.
Could be fun, too, if it's an arrow but a different one, like Connor. Him as suspect would have some weak points too, but he could be a nice surprise.
(I wasn't interested in this event, but darn it, I guess I cannot resist a mystery waiting to be solved)
@Sergard: Loved the "Family Photos" art. I love seeing things like this in fanart.
Also I don't think the fact that Lobdell pitched a Roy resurrection story automatically means that Roy can't be Leviathan. Nor do I believe that the reason Lobdell pitched the idea was because there are no plans in place to bring Roy back. This is comics we're talking about and the dead come back to life with alarming regularity these days so I personally find it unlikely that they will leave Roy dead for to long and actually his being Leviathan would return him to life in a big and very noticeable way. It could also be a case of Bendis just ignoring what's occurred with Roy in recent times and using him in this story without caring what happened beforehand. Bendis does have a habit of ignoring events in a characters history just to make them fit into whatever story he's telling. I guess we'll see what happens though. I could be totally off the mark with my assumptions.
My guess for Leviathan is still "Titans of Tomorrow Tim".
Do you think Artemis & Bizarro will stumble upon Ma Gunn during their journey home?
[QUOTE=Arsenal;4486521]Do you think Artemis & Bizarro will stumble upon Ma Gunn during their journey home?[/QUOTE]
I hope so. Bizarro has put her into a bottle if I remember correctly, and I don't think Ma Gunn can get out by her own.

Good thing that Artemis never saw Jason's buzzcut.
But Bizarro has grown an awesome beard - I hope the beard stays and that Biz gets a new outfit. The Superman overall doesn't really work with a beard and his current Mad Max outfit also looks a little boring in the long run.

DC should publish an artbook with InHyuk Lee's covers and artworks.
Aw, is exclusive for a korean event and you have to buy the TPB.
Is mind-boggling how DC has failed to capitalize on making posters out of their covers. Probably because that's what Marvel does.

(Also: "[I]Watch for upcoming POSTER PORTFOLIOS featuring the art of Jim Lee, Frank Cho and more![/I]")
And they'll release a YotV poster portfolio in October. So I think DC is realizing that posters and artworks are a gold mine.

Right off the bat, both Roy & Kori are both unlikely since Roy is dead and Editorial won’t let Lobdell use Starfire while she’s in JL:O.[/QUOTE]
I like Starfire on JL:O. Her character is great for space adventures. And I still want Roy back - but with his own solo, not as a part of the Outlaws team. They could make Roy a secret agent/spy and also bring Lian back - a solo about a single dad spy. I would read that.
For the Outlaws team: besides the dark trinity of Jason, Artemis and Bizarro I'd like to add Crux, Eddie Bloomberg/Red Devil and Jericho and Rose Wilson.
And for reoccurring guest appearances I want Connor Hawke (bring him back, DC, god dammit!), Slade Wilson, Silencer, Bunker (Bunker deserves his own mini series at least too), Harvey Bullock, Killer Croc, the Immortal Men - and probably some more that I can't remember right now because it's late and I'm tired. But there are so many cool characters in the DC universe that don't get used or don't get used enough.

Red Devil at least has a history with Jason that could certainly be explored (being an old pen pal), and the Wilson siblings, Rose especially, errs more in the gray area like Jason, then full on "goody two shoes" so to speak.
The rest... I don't see Bunker coming back anytime soon. Silencer has a family to worry about first, before even considering working with a team. Slade mainly works alone. Killer Croc would work better in a Roy series (and I agree about bringing Lian back, and Roy being a single dad, but with his friends dropping by to check up on him).
The Outlaws need people that fit their group, the "black sheep", so to speak. Biz being a clone of Supes, Artemis feeling overshadowed by Diana, and Jason... Well, we know about Jason.

I don't know about Jericho. Joseph is a pretty neat, very heroic antihero, but as far as I know, he's more associated with Dick. But, eh, with all the bad stuff that keeps happening to him (xd), he could be a great addition to the team, I bet (but I don't think he would work with Jason comfortably. He's the softest of the Wilsons, iirc). I guess Rose too has similar problems, but I don't know why, I see her as more of a free agent, a character that keeps eluding a team/generation (well, I also see her way less heroic), and is mostly associated with her root character's (Slade's) cast. She's probably more suitable for the Outlaws but, eh, I will be honest: I don't like her that much (probably because I've read her in her more ax-crazy takes).
Connor Hawke could be nice too, but like Joey, he's quite heroic as a character as far as I know; so, I don't know. On the other hand, it could bring to the table some interesting stories, because he's or should still be (in this new continuity) Oliver's blood son, contrasting to Roy, when he's a complete stranger to probably the whole of the current hero community, in contrast to Roy as well. Hmmm...
Slade is too big of a character to add him as a regular in any book that isn't his own, I guess. Silencer could work going by what I know about her, but I suspect they're going to let her aside, by herself, or add her to the League and so tying her to Batman (because Batman sells, even if he doesn't sell as well as before). Bullock and Croc are too tied to Gotham to be regulars outside stories in that place (well, Croc was in the SS, right? I guess he could work), but I definitely would love them as additions to Jason's own cast of regulars. Eddie is dead, but that can be easily fixed; count me in. And I know nothing about the Immortal Men, so "shrugs", I guess, sure, why not.
We need a doctor for the cast, and an Alfred of any sorts (but I guess we could let Ma Gunn or her granddaughter fill that role). Some trickster, some magician or thief, could be also a nice addition. And someone from the media, some blogger or some journalist. Crux or some other could be the scientist / tech guy. And let's go crazy, and add a lawyer, regular civilian in, because I want to see what happens (someone has to keep Jason's public façade afloat).
Wouldn’t mind Essence and/or Rose joining the team. Bronze Tiger or Graystone could be options if you wanna pull from Tynion’s RHATO run.
I’d prefer avoiding the “Justice League but Dark/ Justice League:Outlaw” where the team is primarily made up of “darker” (for a lack of a better word) versions of the big 7. The team already has 2 powerhouses in Artemis & Biz so some more mid to low level would help round out the team.
Unless you want the team to be the Jason Todd protection squad where 5 super powerful people focus on keeping him and themselves alive in whatever crazy situation he gets them into.
Chances are that Lobdell will simply expand upon the idea of "Dark" versions of great DCU heroes and make in essence, an antihero mirror of the JL. But this is also limited to those smaller characters no one else is using, so I doubt there's a chance of Jericho or Rose ever joining.
[QUOTE=Arsenal;4488475]Wouldn’t mind Essence and/or Rose joining the team. Bronze Tiger or Graystone could be options if you wanna pull from Tynion’s RHATO run.
I’d prefer avoiding the “Justice League but Dark/ Justice League:Outlaw” where the team is primarily made up of “darker” (for a lack of a better word) versions of the big 7.[/QUOTE]
Mmmm, in my case, I'm really not that much invested in a 1 on 1 JL team either, honestly. I'm getting used to have a slightly revolving door cast at this point; and also, because they're not carboon copies of the JL members, putting analogues that would work together (showing some chemistry, creating a nice dynamic) is no easy task to achieve. I'd rather have a team that works well but is not a full analogous. But then, the only JL team I've really enjoyed to thia day was the JLI, so maybe I don't like the cast of the official league as a team themselves.
