Bad news all around. I hope things end up working out for everyone involved (including us cuz I wants muh Historia).
I guess Black Label is likely being phased out, but announced projects will likely continue. The article over in the main layoff thread mentioned the Rorshach mini as still likely to continue, so I hope this means Historia is safe as well since it was announced a long time ago.
There might just be a cutoff point after all these come out.
So the long awaited The Other History of the DC Universe just got a release date for November announced. Fingers crossed this bodes well for Historia
Looks like we're still in business! Here is a character sheet for Philippus. Apparently he made one for each Amazon. I hope they are included in the back of the first issue. Also confirmation that we will be seeing Oenone.

I know right?
In the Perez run she was second in command to Egeria, who died defending Doom's Doorway. I imagine Egeria is in this, and that's while Philippus isn't listed as general yet.
Yeah, this is a relief. I hope he keeps posting these.
Demeter being Philippus's patron is neat, I imagine she is Oenone's patron as well. I wonder if all the goddesses will "share" Hippolyta? Due to how heavily she's being promoted in these teases, if we had to have a single patron it might be Hera. But for old time's sake, I'm hoping Aphrodite is Hippolyta's
Yeah, Hera's getting a bit more showing here than in the previous origins so that wouldn't surprise me. It might fit with both being respective Queens but I would prefer Aphrodite (or Athena).
If I had to guess if any Amazon will be "shared" by all the Goddesses it'd likely be Diana when she shows up near the end most likely given the seeming Perez influences.
Hmm, I've noticed of all the Olympians shared by Jiminez that Hercules has been absent. Makes me think he'll show up in the issues not done by him, granted it's only snippets so far.
