August 8, 2011 1:59 pm I doubt it is the return of Johnny Storm - much, much too soon.  Conversely, I hope that it doesn't mean that Spider-Man leaving the team - he just got there.  I like the current team just as it is.

June 28, 2011 5:50 pm I did it, but found it very strange.  I think I could come up with much more interesting questions about comic book fans and our culture.  Hope I get the $100.

June 20, 2011 9:25 pm I really wanted Katee Sackhoff to be Pilgrim.  She would have been perfect.

June 15, 2011 4:51 pm Excellent interview!  I found it oddly comforting.  When all this was announced, I was so psyched - especially about the day/date digital download.  But then as last week went along, I grew surprisingly anxious.  Some of the new titles felt disorienting.  Even though I've been reading DC since the 1960s, I didn't recognize some of the characters - probably because they were from Wildstorm or Vertigo.  I also grew anxious about some of the characters that were MIA - Red Robin (for a while), Power Girl, the JSA, etc.  With all this anxiety I began to wonder whether DC was making a terrible mistake.  But the interview with Bob and Eddie calmed and reassured me.  DC does have a plan - and it's a long term one.  Because I love DC comics so much, I really want this to work.  I appreciate the riskiness of this endeavor.  My hope is that it will bring in additional readers.  I don't want to be in a world where comics are continually decline - like with May, where no book sold over 100,000.  I want comics to grow and flourish again.  So I am on-board with DC and the re-launch.  I won't buy all the books, but I will probably buy a majority of the 52 titles.  And I am making plans to transition to digital.  I will buy an iPad sometime over the summer to be ready for September.  I'm a reader - not so much a collector any more.  So I'm ready for the digital versions of my favorite DC heroes - or at least I will be.  The only downside to this is how I am going to tell my LCS owner that I will be deleting all DC titles as of September 1.

June 14, 2011 12:43 pm Love it!!!  Going on my pull list.

June 9, 2011 12:00 pm I am sooooo relieved that Jonah Hex is returning - and with Gray and Palmiotti writing him too.  I like the concept of the All Star Western.  Can't wait for some Bat Lash on the side.

The other title that interests me is Sgt. Rock.  I'm so glad that DC is updating the war genre.

June 7, 2011 5:42 pm After being quite enthusiastic about the first few announcements, I have to say - this group of new comics leaves me a bit cold.  The only thing that looks somewhat interesting is the new Justice League Dark title.

June 6, 2011 4:38 pm I seriously doubt that DC would give Jason Todd his own book, but not Tim Drake.

June 6, 2011 4:36 pm Hmmmmm...  I still say that that we should give up on Tim Drake having his own title.  Stay tuned, Bat-fans, it's not over yet.
