Nightwing's 300!!!!!

[Last Son of Krypton]

A DC event 30 years in the making...Zero Hour 2?

Likely the JL will be back together during this Summer event.

Waid has left Shazam, Josie Campbell is the new writer.

Seems like a good choice and gives Waid time to do another world's finest spinoff.

Waid has left Shazam, Josie Campbell is the new writer.

And he took Dan Mora with him. Waid doesn't like to share!

I hope not. After Dark Crisis they should take a long break from these derivative events.

That's a real shame. I was hoping we'd get a long run by Waid. I wonder why he left so soon.

Nightwing's 300!!!!!

Back in the Stone Age, as a kid in the 80's, I remember picking up Legion of Super-Heroes #300 and Justice League of America #200 and thinking, "Wow, these comics have been around forever! Like, before electricity!" And now, seeing Nightwing #300 and having read Dick's series from Day One... I'll just be over in the corner, sitting in the dark, staring into oblivion.

OMG I've just seen the BoP cover! Vixen's addition is great! So happy about it.
And Babs seemingly in the Oracle role?! Now the team is close to perfection.

You have changed man. You used to be cool.

Maybe Waid has ongoings in the rumored Ultimate DC line

[Thor-Ul]

And John Constantine becomes... the Preacher????

I'm curious how Josie will handle the reins of the Shazam franchise again, especially writing Billy as the main character instead of Mary (though Mary will probably appear a lot).

Yeah, I'm feeling Mari on the team wayyyy more than Zealot and Harley.

Are we sure Waid is stepping away from Shazam for good and Campbell isn’t simply doing a filler issue/arc? If he’s leaving I wager it’s because he’s either

1. Doing more World’s Finest books
2. Taking over Action Comics next year full time
3. Doing an Ultimate book in Snyder’s line if that is real

The DC Connect PDF says "New creative team debuts!". So yeah, I'd assume Waid is leaving.

Campbell/Lupacchino is a great replacement though.

Well, it might be the way for him to get Superman ongoing he wanted, but couldn't get.

Considering he doesn't prefer a married Superman, that actually makes sense. There was only so much he can write around that with Clark's current status quo.
