"There are some VERY passionate corners of the @DCComics fandom that are going to lose their minds this week and they don’t even know it yet😘💥"


I'm guessing this hint has to be directed at Legion of Superheroes right, but what else?

Considering Meltzer's response of "about time" its gotta be something that's been on the shelf a while. So probably Legion or JSA news.

yep, though I figured the JSA announcement would be saved for Geoff John's imprint, either way it's exciting to see these books finally happening.

As much as I love Geoff Johns' JSA, does he have anything left to say with them? He wrote or co-wrote over 100 issues of those guys. I would welcome him back, but I'm also happy to see a new creative team handle the world's first superhero team.

Well the idea of these imprints is for them to be creator curated, not written. Bendis won't be writing every book on his imprint, just coming up with ideas for the line. Same way the young animal imprint works.

If Meltzer was using a play on words, and the announcement is about (concerning) time, then Legion of Super-Heroes would be a good guess. I would much prefer a new Legion series to a JSA one, and Doomsday Clock does deal with both sets of characters, so maybe now is the time to announce a Legion series that would debut next year.

And a Question Ongoing

I initially thought it was a line wide super-book event that people were speculating about the superman forums.

Bendis is probably staying away from events for a while.

That's actually great to hear! Well now I'm hoping that's what will happen full stop.

Pretty niche in comparison to the other titles people are mentioning in the this thread so far, but I really hope Kate Spencer is among those getting a nod this weekend. I believe Bendis hinted at her coming back soon once before, so perhaps DC are finally ready to make the announcement. If so, here's hoping that Marc Andreyko is the one writing her.

Oh yes love me some Kate. She should be bigger in the DCU since she deals with metahumans.

Kate has been appearing in Green Arrow for quite a bit. And they strongly hint at her Manhunter persona.

.I actually remember Bendis bringing her up on twitter as if she hasn't appeared at all and fans corrected him about that, don't remember if he responded to any of them, but if Kate returns for his imprint, it'll likely be out of continuity anyways.

Johns has said he has no interest in going back to franchises he’s already covered, which I’m fine with. I don’t want him to end up like Wolfman, getting dragged back to write characters he was famous for writing once upon a time. He’s done with JL, JSA, Superman, GL, and Flash.
