i really liked Strczynski's run on Amazing Spider-man, so that's good news for me too. It would be great if he stays a longer time on the superman book.

[Frisky Dingo]

Well, this is definitely some good news IMHO. I’ve always been a big Superman fan but I haven’t picked up any of the books in awhile because I wasn’t that crazy with the direction of the line. However, outside of me flat out not liking the artist (whoever that ends up being) I’m definitely onboard for a JMS Superman book. I’m hoping they just let him do his own thing with the book so that you don’t have to read the other Superman books to follow his story. But still make sure everything syncs up if you’re reading the other titles. Especially for me because I’ll probably just ease back into the line after “WoTS” and just stick with the JMS book for a while.

And as for Wonder Woman, I’ve never really had any interest in picking up her book on a regular basis. But JMS is a creator that I’ve really liked his work as of late and I can see things he did on “Thor” translating well to both Superman and Wonder Woman. So as long as the artist for “WW” is halfway decent, I’ll give “WW” a shot when he comes aboard.

[Rahul]

Oh yeah, I'm getting Superman on an ongoing basis for the first time...Wonder Woman too!!

[SpideyZERO]

Wow, this might interest me too!

[Danvh3]

JMS on Superman is just a no brainer, but this means I might for the first time in my life, buy a Wonder Woman comic.

Crazy.

[Shatterpoint]

I'd be interested in Superman depending on the direction the title's going to take after WotS and the artist paired with JMS. I tried it with Busiek/Pacheco and that was great, as was Johns/Frank.

Looks like June could be a fun month; Superman and Batman hitting #700 while WW gets to #600.

[Danvh3]

Wait, does this mean we'll be losing JMS on The Brave & The Bold? Because that would be a shame.

[Ilash]

Great news. Based on his work on Brave and the Bold and his clear enthusiasm for Superman, I'll definitely pick Superman up. Not sure about Wonder Woman though.

Also, I'd love to know who the artists are on these books.

[Kasper Cole]

This is great news.......that will probably end horribly.

[arp2008]

This isn't entirely surpring news but is most welcome and exciting. Depending on who the artist is I just may be more inclined than not to pick up a Superman title for the first time since........................ever.

Suddenly, I don't think i'll be getting JMS' Superman; earth one novels- it occurs to me that i haven't really gotten into anything he's done, and i don't expect "Superman" or "Wonder Woman" to be any different.

[DonC]

Well, JMS working on Superman has been known for a while now. Hopefully he'll do some good things with Supes. Things have been kind of "Meh" for a lot longer than they should have.

Wonder Woman, I don't know about. I've tried her series on a number of occasions, but never stuck around for more than a year. I don't see that changing.

[Bevbos]

Hm, well, good news for JMS fans, but I'm a little disappointed that the rumors about Morrison doing WW proved untrue. I'm not crazy about JMS' writing (heavy on the sentimentality), although it does seem to fit Supes pretty well. However, looks like two books I won't be picking up. Cheers for those who feel the opposite, however.
