DC Future Slate Coming January & February 2021

[sifighter]

A lot of this is a wait and see kind of game, I’m interested because I was fascinated with 5G before but now that everything is what it is and will no doubt be changed (especially with Jim Lee saying no reboots) I’m going’s to wait to hear about books and creative teams.

I doubt this is filler months though, I assume that it’s taking up some space but I don’t think Dc would take 2 months after the end of their big event to put stuff out. Granted it will probably be a gradual release so I assume these will fill in some spaces until other books are ready but I’m assuming that we will see some of post-Death Metal DC in January.

I really think this will be a 5G "what if." Perhaps that mini from Ridley is a part of it

Now I'm suddenly worried "Future State" is the new form of the 5G imitative....

That was my first thought as well. I imagine it will be a modified version that ends up having less impact on the line as a whole and end up being another DCYou or something.

I hope to see something that will be exciting, but I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah, Generations Shattered used art intended for Generation One, maybe the one-shot in December is Generation 2 and 3, and Future State is 4 and 5?

The writer/artist says no.

My take is that Jurgens came up with a short story with an open ending, and editorial was looking for something to fill the winter schedule and asked him to work with some other writers on expanding it to a bigger story. The Generations term might have been stuck on to it since it was already floating around or could be the biggest coincidence ever. This looks much more like a typical messed up time line story with characters recruited from various timelines to solve it, than the elaborate work hinted at for 5G.

Ah, Generation One brings back all those fond memories of the JL and Autobots fighting the Legion of Doom and Megatron.

Now I imagine Legion of Doom and the Watchtower being Transformers .

Is it possible that this is the same separate imprint for 5G that BC wrote about?

It probably is.

I just think they are just trying to claw back some of the money they burnt with 5g by doing a mini event.

Could be very wrong tho

Probably the Jon Kent Superman book.

The new Catwoman/JLD writer Ram V is also involved going by vague tweets https://twitter.com/therightram/stat...82249762619392

I'm sure you meant 'initiative'...
But imitative works, too.

[Restingvoice]

Probably the Jon Kent Superman book.

Yeah that makes sense if it's literally about the future

This one would fit it they're talking about Batman's daughter

That’s actually a good get, his work on JLD has been pretty great so far.


Honestly I wouldn’t be upset if this was just a digital exclusive line of books/continuity. I think it would do decently there.

Looks like they're repurposing 5G as a two-month "event" to make time for the new launches.
