So. If Warner won’t let DC Comics kill off Batman in “Final Crisis," who can DC get away with introducing to the Grim Reaper? I mean it has to be decent names, but it also has to be someone that a major franchise license isn’t totally resting on.
From Geoff Johns’ CBR interview: “There are still tons of characters to write. Aquaman is a big one. I have very specific ideas for him. Very specific."
From the letters page of this month's Johnny DC "Justice League Unlimited," in response to a young reader who doesn't like the changes made to Aquaman: "Fans of Aquaman's original look can look forward to a new comic book later in 2008."
May be the original look, but will it be the original character?
I only ask, because the two names marked for karking I’ve been given by a DC source are Martian Manhunter and Aquaman.
Frenzied old school DC fans may be placated by another series. What I hear is... Geoff Johns, Ethan Van Sciver, “Barry Allen: Rebirth."
Marvel Comics have threatened legal action against another popular downloading site, Komics-Live. The site went down for a few days, before being restored with all Marvel files no longer linked to.
In related news, the illegal download link site The Pirate Bay has seen huge increases in its comics traffic. Pirate Bay, based in Sweden, outside the EU, does not outlaw the act of linking to an illegal download, and the site has seen off repeated legal attacks and threats. It may be that Pirate Bay will become a lightning rod for easily-accessible illegal comics torrenting.
Wolverine’s next arc is called “Get Mystique." I’m really hoping for a “You’re a big mutant, but you’re out of shapeshifter" line.
And “X-Men: Divided We Stand" is leading up to a conclusion in “Uncanny X-Men" #500. Look for a new team and a new raison d’être.
Possibly not setting up as a mutant florist, but you never know.
