Love the idea of the retro-active one-shots.

I love the retro-active idea also. Just hope they also bring back artists that worked on the book at the time also ie Daryl Banks back for the 90's Green Lantern.

Retro-active sounds awesome.

"they decided to retire the DCU "Brave & The Bold" book to not create confusion with the kids cartoon property."

So is it coming back when the show is over?

[Garth Rockett]

I'm looking forward to the Retro-Active one shots, but I wish the JLA lineup had been:

70s - Conway
80s - Giffen and Dematties
90s - Morrison

Ron Marz in that retro is interesting but other then that DC has once again pushed me away from caring about what they're putting out

That's probably how I would have done it as well, but since Keith and Marc are doing a story representing the JLA for the 90's, it would be nice if they had Adam Hughes on art chores.

I was thinking more of Howard Porter for the 90s JLA

I hope Greg LaRoque is pencilling Messner-Loebs' Flash story, and Jose Marzan is on inks :D

[OBrianTallent]

I just hope that hint about the future of Dick Grayson isn't just a tease!! But I'm loving the Retro-Active one shots as well, especially the William Messner-Loebs inclusion!

[Rollo Tomassi]

So they're throwing out all of Gail Simone's character development of Bane because a movie is coming out? That's sad.

And how many questions do they need to field about Wally West before they understand he's the Flash and not this Boring Allen fellow?

[The Batman]

I'm hoping they bring Norm Breyfogle back to work with Alan Grant on the Batman Retro-Active book. It's a neat idea I think.

Retro-Active oneshots? Christ, I try not to be one of the guys who say that DC keeps living in the past but seriously?

[Sean Walsh]

I'm more psyched about Retro-Active than I am about Fear Itself. But that's just silly me....

i think there is a difference between turning your line into a nostalgia catering thing and creating specific projects that cater to that group of the fanbase.

I don't think there is anything wrong with something like this, or giving Claremont his vanity projects. The problem comes when all the material you put out is directed towards that narrow fanbase, is working backwards rather than forwards.
