Post-March 2021 DC Titles

[km_sus]

It feels kind of weird to take pot shots at DC right now. The company used to be a "well oiled machine"... well no **** they aren't right now, they lost a third (or more) of their workforce, any company that just got gutted needs an adjusting period.

This is why we need DC Comics to launch their runs with a long term vision by using the HOX/POX method. Before Hickman run the X-Men, all the X-books were in a horrible mess , poor treatment and constantly disrespect because no creative team at Marvel, care for the property. But everything change when Jonathan Hickman become the Head of X, since the relaunch, we got different storytelling for each of the X-titles including the newcomer Hellions, Marauders and S.W.O.R.D.S. All the other X-Mens are just the same titles brands with different direction status quos. There is the reason why everbody at Marvel started to buy many X-titles. It also the reason " X Of Swords" was the most anticipated event by many readers even though it is a 22 issues parts.

Without this method, DC could potential lose its audiences old and new if the direction is only care about grimdark and edgy.

Rumor: Is Chip Zdarsky's Justice League: The Last Ride From The Elseworld?

Will solicits appear next week? Third Friday of the month, If I remember correctly.

I think so. Marvel already announced a new X-book last Friday, so I think the solicitations are close.

Looking forward to see what April brings.

Zdarsky writing JL is huge. That title though... are they really making the first story set on “Elseworld” an ending one? Gotta admit that would be perfectly on brand for DC but we’ll see.

Could this be related to Zdarsky being tapped to develop different versions of the main DC Heroes?

Teen Titans Academy should be fun, but don't you think the inspiration was likely the recent "Strange Academy"magic school book from Marvel? That got so much speculation hype over first appearances of future movie heroes, DC has to be looking to catch some of that magic right?

I was thinking about that. It could be, is it going to be different people with the mantles? “Last Ride” certainly doesn’t sound like an origin story lol.

Honestly X-Men and My Hero Academia were probably more likely influences. Strange Academy hasn’t really gotten much attention from where I’m standing.

man, I really don't care for elseworld stories getting their own books with so many characters on the main earth not having books right now..

So there's gonna be an Infinite Frontier Book and a new Elseworlds book? Weird, but intriguing. I did remember a rumor that Warren Ellis, Chip Zdarsky and Matt Fraction were going to develop new iterations of the Justice League when the 5G plans imploded so it's cool to see that will still be in play (minus Ellis' potential involvement, ofc)

Don't we already have that with Future State? I don't think we need multiple different legacy versions in quick succession.

Well, the movies are going all in on the multiverse...

Yeah that’s why I was sure anything set on “Elseworld” would star the main versions. FS already has the racebent/diverse League covered. BC isn’t sure that The Last Ride is an Elseworld tale though, only that it’s a JL one.

Ram V was on the Word Balloon podcast and when asked about the possibility of him and Sumit Kumar working together on a DC book he said to stay tuned for news in the near future.
