PKJ Action Comics Discussion and Spoilers

[Alpha]

There is evidence that they are going to give her the “Wonder Woman” moniker despite Diana being back

What evidence? They are definitely going to keep Diana as Wonder Woman for the time being. She will only be replaced if Diana absolutely tanks while Yara Flor doesn't, which hasn't happened yet.

If Wonder family can have multiple titles in rotation for once in her history there's no reason for them to just replace her.

[HsssH]

I doubt Batman will be cancelled and given to Jace and Ridley. Yara is doing really well judging by the 2nd issue.

I'm sure I said it already elsewhere, but I think DC has a beginning, middle and end planned for this status quo (2 years max?) and they'll keep it going no matter sales or reception.

I think that Yara's "prospects" might get derailed due to her issues getting delayed.

Yeah that’s about what Superman sells normally these days. Shows how dumb DC is that they had PKJ writing filler on the book more people were reading though. Hope some of those people reading Superman check out Action since it’s been the better book from the start and it’s where we can get Clark.

Even though DC hasn’t been making the best use of PKJ, it’s great to see his success over at Marvel with Alien and Extreme Carnage.

I mean, DC put him on Action Comics. I'd say that's a more prestigious gig than those Marvel titles.

It's just that Bendis put Supes in such a bad place when he left that the fans are not responding as of now to PKJ's story.

Wonder if Janin will be on Action in the Nov solicits? He was supposed to be drawing the Warworld Saga but he hasn’t made the switch yet.

I don’t see them taking Diana’s book away, I moreso see a “Yara Flor: WW” book like Jace’s I Am Batman and Jon’s Superman: Son of Kal-El.

Solicits tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing what’s next in Action.

Also PKJ retweeted a tweet from the colorist he worked with on FS: House of El saying they will definitely come back to that time period again: https://twitter.com/gabeeltaeb/statu...593844225?s=21

And he apparently has another DC book in the works although I don’t know if it’s Superman related or not: https://twitter.com/phillipkjohnson/...811137544?s=21

Nice! Any week we don't get any Superman book, I'm always hoping we get some solicitations to chew on in the meantime.

Hickman may not be too pleased with what solicitations and previews have become (and on a fundamental level I can agree or at least see his point) but I'd be lying if I said I didn't look forward to them nearly as much as the issues themselves.

[Vordan]

I like the solicits even when the spoil stuff , it gives us stuff to speculate about, and if they really want to keep it a secret they can always either lie, keep the solicits obscure like Hickman did for X-Men, or just keep them “classified” as Scott Snyder’s Batman Endgame was.

[Last Son of Krypton]

And he apparently has another DC book in the works although I don’t know if it’s Superman related or not: https://twitter.com/phillipkjohnson/...811137544?s=21

Likely another project like his The Last God.

Following Mongul’s brazen attack on Earth, Superman’s world has been turned upside down: conflict between Atlantis and the surface world, the discovery of an immensely powerful new element, dead refugees with mysterious ties to Krypton, and expulsion from the Justice League! When Superman re-forms the experimental, antiestablishment Authority to join him in liberating Warworld, Batman comes to them with a request: join him for one unorthodox, off-the-books mission first, one he could never ask the Justice League to be a part of…and one he doesn’t expect everyone to come back from.

So Clark's keeping the gray hair and going back to the classic suit? Interesting. I guess it's an effort to make him continue to look like the older Superman of the two?

Still hard to say anything about this run when I don't understand how the connective tissue works yet, but it all looks cool!

[Bromor]

I guess the special is 50% mission, 50% bruce "probing" to see what kind of team clark assembled.
