DC Solicitations January 2019

[Digifiend]

I hope the Justice League annual has some interaction between Donna Troy and Diana and M'gann and J'onn as it appears to be a crossover with Titans and lord knows Donna needs some help right now with her depression and drinking problems steming from that. And M'gann's relationship with J'onn needs more establishing in general since she was so recently reintroduced + the last issue seemed to make her the interm leader and im sure the pressure of that will weigh on her. And just in general I want to see more interactions between the big JL heroes and their younger counterparts. I feel like we really do not get enough of that and all characters involved could beneift if we got more.

The annual solicit specifically mentions Steel, Miss Martian and Kyle Rayner. It looks like Donna, Raven, and Beast Boy won't be appearing there. You should at least get that Martians interaction though.

I can't tell what Naomi is supposed to be. Is she a superhero? An investigator? Why is she so heavily promoted?

[liwanag]

excited for doomsday clock, the green lantern and young justice...

but something feels gloomy and i don't get where it's coming from...

[SixSpeedSamurai]

I just realized The Unexpected will be over at issue 8... I'm so bummed out, I really liked the characters...

That was unexpected.....

I think she'll somehow be related to an established superhero. There has to be a reason why her surname was specifically not revealed in the solicit.

[MajorHoy]

Shayera's being reintroduced? I wonder how their gonna reconcile her and Kendra existing at the same time. Though the last issue of Hawkman did mention the possibility of Hawk reincarnations not necessiarily happening in a linear order so I suppose it's possible that two versions of them could be running a round at the same time with the same "Soul" so to speak and possibly actually be 100s of rencarnations apart.

Are they maybe using the Tim Truman/Hawkworld limited series version of "Shayera Thal" that never was Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman?

BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS?
(Just a thought . . . )

[Frontier]

Terrifics looks great as usual.

They made the new Black Condor black? Facepalm.

He was black in the CWSeed show as well.

I guess it made Black Canary's movie race change inevitable .

it couldn't be kent, wayne, jordan or any of the main jl members.

could it be naomi luthor? naomi savage?

[Korath]

could it be naomi luthor? naomi savage?

I don't know about it... An established superhero couldn't upend the whole of the Multiverse, and I can't see who would fit into an unknown family yet wearing his or her name. I think it's possible that Naomi is related to a member of a supporting cast or minor character from the big JL however, someone who could easily be expanded upon to change the DCU forever.

[DamianWayne1]

I’ll be getting:
- Batgirl #30-31
- Detective Comics #995-997
- Hawkman #8
- Naomi #1
- Teen Titans #26, Annual #1
- Wonder Woman #61-63
- Young Justice #1

I might pick up The Green Lantern #3 & Batman & the Outsiders #2, depending on how I like the first issues of each.

It looks like placeholder text ("last name?") was left in the solicitation.

RIRI WILLIAMS
MOON GIRL
Shuri
MIDNIGHT ANGELS

That's why. For all the HATE the first two constantly get from entitlement& Echo chamber fans-outside of comics folks like them. So it falls to DC to counter-since they don't care for the 4 other black females on tv (Bumblebee, Vixen & Black Lighting's daughters)-it falls to Bendis & David Walker working on it because he's already doing one at Lion Force called Superb.

This books sounds like a very good way to use Naomi as way to introduce other DC characters ESPECIALLY those of COLOR to the public.

And looking at the few black heroes in DC (assuming she is not biracial)

At least in the OLD DC

Michael Holt His wife was pregnant when she died
Tattoo Man did have a daughter and a son
John Stewart DID have a sister and brother
Steel had a large family
Malcolm Duncan did have a sister
Dr Midnight 2 (Infinity Inc one) had a brother
Mr Bones
Michael Lane (Azreal 2) had a niece
Nil Shilo (Mr Miracle 2)
Killer Croc?

[Restingvoice]

So... Bendis and black girls are like Whedon and white girls? Like it's their standard go-to character?
