Coverage of the "DC Dark and Edge" panel had this tidbit:
"Men of War" came up next, with Brandon saying "there are some things about it I would like you to learn organically by reading it." He said that, those the team works for a military contractor, "they are not working for Blackwater—this is a straight military book."
"Joe Rock is from Brooklyn. There are families where everyone is a cop or a fireman, most of his family were military," Brandon said. "Unfortunately, most of them are dead." The story begins in North Africa and does not center on superhero missions, but "the DC Universe does have superheroes, so they will be appearing in the book. It's hard to explain without spoiling it." The series will feature a new version of Circe.
"There's no guarantee any of these characters will be in the book for very long, except possibly for Sgt. Rock, and even that might be in doubt," Brandon said.
If this "new version of Circe" is the DCNu Circe, then maybe it's possible that...
... War of the Gods never happened.
... "How can you be so rude?" never happened.
... Donna Milton never happened.
... Banas and their reintegration into Paradise Island never happened.
... Artemis as WW never happened.
... Diana's death at the hands of Nekron never happened.
... The Amazon civil war never happened.
... Hippolyta's death in OWAW never happened (and her resurrection by Circe, now not needed, never happened).
... "Who Is Wonder Woman?" never happened.
... The spell making WW powerless as Diana Prince never happened.
... Amazons Attack! never happened.
