need to recognise what to bear from DC Comics in the next year ? So do we . The publishing house ’s DC Nation panel at Wondercon was tight - lipped about the future tense , but the editor did cut down a few clue to keep the faithful intrigued . Click through for hints as to what DC will be doing in 2008 and beyond .
Fan - favorite book Manhunter will turn back , but not until there are enough ruined scripts to make trusted the book will ship on a monthly agenda .
bird of Prey , the playscript that star former Batgirl Barbara Gordon , will be move to a new fictitious metropolis in the future , just in time for Gordon to conform to the villain that cripple her , the Joker , in a move in no way related to that whole Dark Knight movie coming out this summertime . Not at all .
star creative person George Perez may be going into the hereafter for his next undertaking . The artist , well known for his work on 1980s universe of discourse - ending saga Crisis On Infinite Earths cater the cover for May ’s DC Universe : Zero , which DiDio said “ may lead into what he ’s doing next ” . The stars of that particular cover ? Futuristic teen super - heroes , the Legion of Super - Heroes .
Swamp affair wo n’t be returning to any DC superhero books anytime soon … officially . When asked if the character would be appearing in the DC Universe , DiDio reply that , while the executive editor of the mature - readers Vertigo imprint was n’t giving permission for them to use the persona any prison term presently , “ we would never put him in a comedic book without their cognition . Nooooo . ” ( My guess for that comedic Bible ? The revival of 1980s ego - referential comedy Ambush Bug , due in July ) .
James Robinson will be returning to characters from his popular Starman series , writing a spin - off serial star the Shade anti - hero . But do n’t expect it anytime soon – He does n’t plan to finish writing it for at least a year .
- DC ’s much - hyped , seldom - seen newfangled Batwoman role will be take her own serial publication … but we wo n’t formally obtain out about that until tomorrow .
When asked about DC character start out their own picture , the control board played coy . “ We like movies , ” Jann Jones comment . A fan point out that Marvel Comics have two movies coming out this summer ( Iron Man and Incredible Hulk ) to DC ’s one ( The Dark Knight ) , leading Bob Wayne to react “ Well , in that case , it ’s measure versus quality , ” to an almost - Oprah audience - worthy “ Ooooooooh ” .
Tomorrow ’s panels – including a 90 - minute DC - centric presentation that will undoubtedly have their fully grown 2008 architectural plan – will , hopefully , handle to put out something crunchier than cheap dead reckoning at the opposition , but who can tell … ?
