Duke Thomas: The Signal Appreciation 2020

[J. D. Guy]

Oh wait, nevermind, he's expelled from the soccer team, not the school.

Right, due to conflicting opinions on training. I seem to recall he quit, though, and not that he was expelled. Again, would need a source for that. Like, for example, I am pretty sure that wasn't soccer, but track and field.

Regardless, I'd love a story that would flesh that out in detail. Would make for good flashbacks, actually.

Don't recall him getting expelled from his old high school in We Are Robin. Would have to re-read the series, and maybe some of the buildup. Did that wiki source that statement?

It was the soccer team but it was implied he got put out of school and locked up a few times. Keyword implied and those were the reasons he kept moving from foster home to foster home.

The mini never got around to him being at a school. It was planned but never followed up.

Well, that kind of happens when a 6-issue story gets reduced to 3 issues.

But yeah. Need to re-read Duke's early tenure.

Has he been portrayed to keep going to school so far so I can assume he stays at the same school, or it's just never mentioned?

Buildup to The Signal's mini gave the impression that the school would be different to wherever he had gone in the past.

However, during most of We Are Robin and beyond, including when Duke was staying with Bruce, no mention of formal schooling is referenced, to my remembrance.

Fresh from the Scott Snyder interview from Absolute Comics: Duke will be narrating and playing some kind of role in a Dark Nights Death Metal special involving The Robin King. As well, there's still an unannounced project with another writer involving Duke.

Finally some exciting news for Duke, the second one more than the first one - but I'm biased. I'm not a fan of the Robin King.

I just went and listened to the podcast and it sounds like Scott still really believes in Duke and wants to give the character justice. It sounded like he was even co-writing whatever the book was. He mentioned how Duke's journey went off track a bit from the original pitch, so hopefully this is a solo book.

I have a reason to peep into Death Metal. I'm gonna be cautiously optimistic with this, but I'm sincerely hoping for some interesting stuff to come from this.

Well! That is some good news! Looking forward to both. I hadn't been following Metal's sequel like the first, but depending on how things unfold, I might just be inclined to look deeper into it.

That's awesome ! Please, let it be a continuation of his mini !

All of my "Seconded!!!" to this!

Interesting. I'm not into podcasts, so would you mind elaborating on this, please?

I'm just hoping Duke's new comic is good and it gets the time it deserves to shine.
