Rumours and news about DC Titles: 2022 edition

[Matt Rat]

So much for Williamson insisting that Dark Crisis won't be about that. smh

Phillip Kennedy Johnson is also hinting that DC are holding out on commissioning more stories from him after the post-warworld arc in Action Comics, so there may be a Superman relaunch on the horizon with a new creative team

Or two. I can see Superman relaunching and not just Action Comics. Son of Kal-El can continue as a tertiary book.

Referring to this? He’s saying he doesn’t have anything planned to be as long as the Warworld Saga but no indication that he’s stepping off the book. Just that the arcs going forward will be shorter in length.

Not clear either way but the "But if they keep letting me write more Superman" bit could imply that they haven't greenlit anything post-the return to Earth arc.

Hm I can see that. He did tell someone he was inspired by something they said and he’d circle back in a year and tell them what they inspired however.

Y'know, it could be that there is a "reality re-write" in the middle of Dark Crisis but it could just be temporary and gets undone / reversed by the end of the series.

I expect two reality rewrites, one during Dark Crisis and the other after Dark Crisis

"This is a Mary Marvel costume, but it’s also a Captain Marvel costume." - does that mean the Shazam family can be known as the Marvel family again?

No, its means than Mary Marvel is propierty of Disney and is going to appear in the MCU.

Interview with Campbell and Shaner on The New Champion of Shazam!

Sounds pretty good! I like them taking some inspiration from Fawcett and Jeff Parker and it doesn't sound like they're trying to reinvent Mary's character that much (Cough)Young Justice(Cough).

I don't really care for Mary still being the oldest kid, especially in relation to Billy, but we don't get a lot of college Superhero protagonists any more.

I'm also glad they're big impetus for redesigning Mary wasn't "let's put her in pants."

[HsssH]

I was a bit surprised that Parker was mentioned multiple times, I think he did only two Convergence issues? Johns wasn't mentioned at all.

Speaking of College, DO SOMETHING WITH FIRESTORM!

Well he did work on those issues with Shaner so it makes sense.
