Is it just me or is the attendance roster kind of lacking anybody who can answer anything about the core universe?

The only guy who's writing or editing a mainstream book on that panel is Yost so maybe we can expect some info on Red Robin, but other than that...? It's just artists and guys who are off on the fringes. No Johns, no Morrison, no Robinson, no Gates, no Winick, no Rucka, no Berganza, no DiDio...

Is this typical for DC panels?

[Samy]

Well about damn time for a second JSA ongoing. Too bad it's happening now that the sales are going down instead of back when the sales were on top of the world.

[Samy]

Donna Troy and her dead children.

First he resolves Dol/Cerdian for Garth. Now picking up on Donna's family.

Krul seems to be making a pattern out of tying back to previous continuity.

He keeps gaining notches in my interest level.

The more I hear about this Doc Savage thing the more I look forward to it.

The more I hear about this Doc Savage thing the more I look forward to it.

I agree as well! I can not wait to check out the books once they are out.

"There will be a new "Spirit" series spinning out of "Batman/Doc Savage," Sattler said."

Very cool! The Spirit will return in the near futre. I'm sure it will be even better after the whole Doc Savage world is formed etc.

"DC is "looking at" doing more with "The Mighty," Sattler said."

Not sure what to think about this statement here. It can be good or bad at the same time. I don't want The Mighty to be taking place in the DCU or any events and crossovers. Its a creator owned book, so I don't think it will happen...I hope at least

[Andrew_White]

I'm hoping that by "do more with The Mighty" they mean do more projects like The Mighty, as I'm loving it but would hate to see it shoehorned into the multiverse or the DCU proper.

[Melfice]

Yeah that is what I'm worried about too. DC taking over control of the series and we will see Superman vs The Mighty crossovers soon :(

It didn't sound like DC is taking over the series. Like you said it's a creator owned title. The writers always said that they were doing 12 issues and after that they would maybe do a "season 2." I think that's what they were talking about at the panel.

[Flash's Lightning]

I wonder why the exasperation about Aquaman.

I'm not an Aquaman fan, but I'd love to see a good book. I'm all up for a good read.

[Bo-Man]

I am looking forward to the new universe by Azzarello with Batman, Doc Savage, Rima, The Spirit, The Blackhawks, The Avenger, and other non-powered heroes.

[Trey]

You know what you'll be seeing soon? Its cancellation. Hahahha. Its selling 7,000 copies a month.

[superchick]

now that they've said Legion will feature in the main stories I'm more likely to pick adventure up but I'm not in the market for origin stories.

as for wednesday comics, I like they will be collected by character or tone. In two halves maybe? one with supergirl, superman, titans, wonder woman, flash and kamandi and the other with the darker detective type stories. I think the second would sell more.

[protege]

I might pick up the Batman/Doc Savage book(s) if everyone he mentioned is coming after bats, not just DS.
Okay- who's the miniature flying monkey?

Two things not mentioned in article:

Phil Noto is doing the interior art in the Batman/Doc Savage one-shot.

There will definitely be more of Terry McGinnis somewhere along the line.
