DCeased: Unkillables #1 is awesome.

So, Unkillables #1 was fun. Not great (for me), but very fun. I can't say I like the art, but I can say that I liked the story fine enough. We have Jason being competent, we have him being "savage" (what he did in that car's hood...), we have him with dogs and kids, and we have him being kind of mocked by Cass and Jim once (his face when Jim said that, that was pissed Jason there, and Cass was totally smugfacing). And he was kind of nice too, to the fallen ones.
The part with Slade and Rose was nice too. And, hey, Taylor used Mirror Master, which is a Flash villain that I enjoy because he's a honest piece of sh*t who happens to be fun.
I'll read the next one.

I can't believe that Unkillables has a better photo of the batfamily than Batman: Pennyworth R.I.P..
I don't know. He likes a lot to go pretty crazy and bizarre, as far as I can tell. He fits these kind of stories, but, hmmm, putting him in a book that's expected fo feel less relaxed and more serious and restrained like Batman or Tec...
But then again, they let Snyder do his stuff in JL and plenty of other books for the main DCU, so... I guess it could happen.
Now that we're talking about writers, I gave a glance to Russell's work. I wouldn't mind him for Jason if Lobdel decided to left at some point. Actually, I think he could work fine for a few characters and teams if he were interested in writing for them.
Lobdell didn't say he was done with issue 50, he said that he had been plotted up to issue 50.
Oh, I see. Then, this is just my wildest guess, but I think that we're going to see the end of this run with issue 50, that would be September this year. And that's when the big shift in the main DCU (the gen rearrangement) happens, right? I would make the run finish there, or at least, put it on hold until all is done.
But I've been wrong before. I was calling Gintama's ending (the manga, I mean) for two whole years before it actually happened, he he.
50 is a good number to end a run - and for a strategic relaunch.
Supergirl ends in May with issue #42 - which feels strange.
Mangas are sometimes unpredictable. I can't remember if it was Fairy Tail, Naruto or Bleach but at least for one of them was the final arc announced - and then it still took at least two years until the series actually ended.
