Didn't see anybody post this yet. From here.

Not sure which version of Dark Crisis the DC editors read though.

That's a cool OP image by Janin. Where's it from?

Isn't that the cover for a DC encyclopedia that Janin did

Yes I believe it's the cover for the most recent DC Encyclopedia.

Yep.

Those blog posts are usually opinion pieces rather than news - so that's how the writer interpreted the ending to Dark Crisis rather than anything official, does line up with the Bleeding Cool rumors.

It was posted in the official DC blog and shared in DC's social media though. I doubt DC would have not corrected that part if it was wrong.

Also, the BC article "lines up" with Dark Crisis #7 because Bleeding Cool got access early to that issue and thought that was the line-up. But if you look up that page it's pretty clear it's just meant to be a random selection of characters who are captured by Amanda Waller.

Making Titans #1 in that "opinion piece" is clearly a directive from the publisher/eic to push the post-Dark Crisis status quo.

Looks like Poison Ivy got upgraded to an ongoing?

I keep hearing great things about this book, very cool to see how big it’s gotten. I wonder if DC will start giving Wilson bigger projects like that Lazarus planet WW event she’s doing.

Vixen vs. Lobo seems like kind of an unfair fight.

A bit surprised that it was higher seller than her WW issues. But then again, WW rarely has high sales.

Then again, does Poison Ivy bring in some of the Bat-audience that may ignore Wonder Woman?

[Bruce Wayne]

That happens when you have tried everything to make sure Wonder Woman underperforms.

Hmm...the character has grey hair...

[Primal Slayer]

If anyone wants to quiz themselves....from Titans 1966 issue

Might not be the lead shown. I’m still betting that Sampere is drawing GL, either with Tamaki or PKJ.

As far as GWW and Poison Ivy vs GWW and Wonder Woman...this is also a case of pairing the correct writer with the correct character. While GWW may love Wonder Woman, the character may not play to her strengths as a writer, likewise, was there any outside influence? The WW books is notorious for having massive editorial mandate. Not sure if that had anything to do with her run, but it is a factor on occasions, especially with Wonder Woman.

As for the Titans....It's been heavily telegraphed they will be returning. However, if it's Nightwing leading Jon, Yara Flor and Jace Fox as Titans, I doubt I would be interested. Even lead by Nightwing. I actually dont mind Jon. Jace I am ambivalent towards. Yara Flor has so far left me cold. They can be additions to, but I dont want them taking stage away from Donna, Wally, Gar, Kori...

There was a poison ivy mini series back in 2016 that didn’t do as well and I remember the writer and fans of that character hoping it could get more issues. While the book doing well critically plays a part, I think the biggest factor is poison ivy getting more exposure from the Harley Quinn animated series the past few years.

PKJ said on the latest Word Balloon interview that his next ongoing will be announced in a month and a half. I believe he mentioned before that it was for DC but I can’t find the source for that anymore.
