Wouldn't WONDER WOMAN be closer to 700? Are we not counting SENSATION COMICS?

[bjmorga]

I wouldn't mind a Wild Dog mini, especially if they get Max Alan Collins back on writing duties.

"A fan in the audience asked whether or not DC would offer up fans a break from “events,” and Sattler said, "You can read 'Doc Savage' and other books that don't tie-in to events. If you look at our books, we'll have some crossover for 'Blackest Night' but the main part of 'Blackest Night' is in its miniseries if you want that. The regular line continued to run during 'Final Crisis.' We try to make our events manageable. I hear what you're saying, but for everyone who says, 'I don't want any more events' look at how many people in this room are wearing lantern corps t-shirts. We try to please everybody."



Translation: No.

Translation: No.

Alternate translation: Not until people stop buying them.

I would imagine not.

I love how Sattler replies to a Supergirl comment with no mention of Supergirl at all

[Scavenger]

Good that Satler likes Ostrander's suicide Squad.
Shame he hasn't bothered to push the company to say getting a trade out to get some money to help with Ostrander's medical costs.

Wow...guess it was a slow news day on Sunday. Sattler might as well have talked about football.

Sattler doesn't work in the trades department.

I should note that Sattler TOTALLY gave props to Sterling and Jamal's Supergirl run, but I thought more people would be interested in reading about what he had to say about new products than peppering the story with quotes like "Yeah, Sterling and Jamal are killing it on that book, right?"

Maybe that's just me, though.

Yeah, I'm sure a SENIOR EDITOR has no power to champion a project.:rolleyes:

How stupid are you? The trades department is a different one then the DCU department.

DC was planning a Showcase edition of Suicide Squad, but the last I heard it was canceled. It may be resolicited at some point, but it doesn't look like DC is in any hurry. I'd wager lack of interest and the fact that you can find the single issues fairly cheap are the main reasons it's not being done.
