Mariko Tamaki and Dan Mora taking over Detective Comics

Mariko Tamaki and Dan Mora will be the new creative team on Detective Comics post-Future State starting from issue#1034 in March.

Ah, hmmm, I'm a bit worried honestly. Speaking as a Wonder Woman fan, Tamaki's run on Wonder Woman has been very underwhelming. I sincerely hope she does a better job on Detective Comics (which I have been enjoying immensely these past few months). *crosses fingers*

Fantastic news on art but man Mariko writing isn't that good at all.

Agreed, on both counts.

I think most folks point the finger at the editors versus the writers.

Wilson, Orlando and Tamaki? And an editor can't make that work?

Well, people liked Orlando well enough.

I know I did. *raises and shakes hand enthusiastically*

Yeah, I read her She-Hulk run and Wonder woman, Tamaki is, at her best, an average writer. but nothing abominable, she will just be a forgettable writer for a title that has unfortunately known many other bad authors.

Under the Harras regime, editorial micromanaging was at an all time high. Plus WW had an editor that wasn’t focused on WW, but the other titles she was grouped with.

I really doubt that Dan Mora would last that long on a monthly schedule, but I'm open to be pleasantly suprised.

Yeah, I'm not feeling this team but (like you) I hope I'm wrong.

My issues with Tamaki aside, this is the first time we've had a female writer on 'Tec, let alone writing Batman since Devin Grayson on Gotham Knights.

congrats to Mariko, hopefully it's a good run.

I haven't been excited for Tec since the beginning of Rebirth. Nothing against Tomasi, I just didn't think he had anything interesting to tell about Batman after his amazing Batman & Robin. I owe to myself to read some indie comicbooks by Tamaki, but it's great to have a female voice in the title. Dan Mora's pencils look SPECTACULAR. This might bring me back to Tec, but probably in a collected edition. I expect it does well in sales and reviews

[OBrianTallent]

Hm. Can't say I am overwhelmed by this news. Not even sure I'm whelmed. Tamaki hasn't impressed me with anything she's written that I've read (admittedly only Hulk and Wonder Woman that I can think of.) However maybe her style is better suited to a Batman type rather than a super type.
