Post-March 2021 DC Titles

[Waterfall]

He's probably talking in-universe status. Popular Unpopular Character is a famous trope.

Listening to King’s Word Balloon interview, he mentions that seeing The Batman trailer pushed him to want to work harder on an upcoming DC project. Guessing it involves Batman in some way (shocker I know) but it seems to be a separate project from Human Target. He’s working with Jorge Fornes again as well post-Rorschach.

Well, Russell is kind of an irreverent writer so it's probably safe not to take it too seriously.

Russell does have a sense of irreverence, but he's usually very heavily into issues and relevance. I'm seeing this as more of an examination of heroes out of work and less as a DeMatteis/Giffen/Maguire JLI laugh riot. As far as continuity goes, he did a bang-up job in the Snagglepuss Chronicles with Snagglepuss' first cartoon. I'm a big Russell fan, so without seeing the book I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt. We'll see where opinions are after the first issue is published.

Guessing it'll be back to edgy, psychological, thrillers then .

Mary is taking over the Shazam title

Mary is taking over the Shazam title

Ok...I didn't see that coming. But I'm totally interested. Hope they do justice to Mary.

[sifighter]

So I guess this means that while Billy is in hell or whatever happens in Academy Mary is taking over for him? Well that’s cool, I like Mary and she should do more.

Plus Doc Shaner is a huge plus.

Mary is taking over the Shazam title

I...don't really know how to feel about this.

I mean, I love Mary, give her a book for sure, and she looks amazing here. But taking Billy out so she can take over leads a bad taste in my mouth. I guess on the plus side maybe they'll bring back that she's his biological sister again.

I'm glad they brought back the classic cape and aren't immediately going "pants" for her costume. Seems like her hair is shorter though?

Was Mary always old enough to go to college? I mean, Post-Crisis, sure but I can't keep these kids' ages straight. Feels like a movie thing.

I guess they did it with Freddy so now it's Mary's turn.

I really hope they actually call her Mary Marvel. They’ve called her that on Earth 5 and Elseworlds but I don’t think they’ve used the name in main continuity.

[Drako]

Doc Shaner is awesome, he elevate every project he is part of.
I liked this news a lot, but it's a shame that they gave Billy's mini to a upcoming writer instead of trying something with like this with him.

I love the classic cape is back and that Mary still has a skirt.

I really hope they actually call her Mary Marvel. They’ve called her that on Earth 5 and Elseworlds but I don’t think they’ve used the name in main continuity.

I guess she's now just de-facto "Shazam."

I'm guessing Billy will be back by the time of the next movie.

Yeah, I can see why Billy can't go by his real name anymore but I always wished Mary kept hers.

[Vordan]

Or “Mighty Mary” that was probably my favorite fan created name for her.

[Frontier]

People will still call her Mary Marvel .
