Another book where King is going to make everyone depressed and suicidal. Great.

I mean I can't say for the quality of all his books, he can be hit or miss with me, but at least he tries to do something new and interesting with characters no one is using.

I can't remember the last time we saw the Blue Starman

Not all his work but theres some great and amazing stuff

The threads will be a good read with how upset everyone will get, haha.

I guess it all depends if you think making characters dark equals new and interesting. Feels kind of trite at this point in my opinion, but I'm not going to buy the book so I am mostly poking fun at the King writing style meme.

Exactly. I can't wait, this looks really cool and unique. I haven't loved everything King has done but I have never been bored by his work. On top of that, this series has some of my favorite underused DC characters in it. Also has a great artist working on it as well.

EDIT: overall a concerning lack of jessica cruz

Interesting that both Titans and Suicide Squad are ending after a big crossover event. Suspicions and Rumors shall rise with that.

Also two months without a green lantern book smells of cancellation to me.

My theory...post Dark Crisis relaunches

I don't think that worked out too well for Adam Strange.

Hey I said it was Hit or Miss...but I did enjoy Mister Terrific in that series.

They're probably just changing teams for these characters. And also, sales were not very good, so that might be the reason as well. It's too early to talk about relaunch, Dark Crisis will go till December, if I'm not mistaken.

DECEMBER?!!! wth

As with every damn thing about Tom King, I've of two minds about this:
1) "Hey, a story seemingly involving all the freakin' characters from the First Issue Special series. Nice idea! I hope he includes the original Outsiders!"
2) "Oh dear, it looks like King's going to ignore every previously established character trait of all of these characters... again."

Yeah, yeah, I know... Black Label. But still, this trend of using existing characters as blank-slate actors for whatever story you want to tell is, to put it mildly, annoying.

I eagerly await Tom King's take on Othello, starring Black Lightning, Halo, and Bat-Mite as Iago.
