DC are releasing 52 variant covers for JLA #1, the standard cover has the American flag in the background, while the variants with have something representing each state, Puerto Rico and Washington DC.

They're also launching Katana and Vibe solo series, because they're mental.

Have the comic companies learned nothing from the 90's?

I love Stargirl, but I don't like murder squad books. HELLLLLP!

Where does it say JLA is a murder squad book?

[Kid Impulse]

Oh! Jeff Lemire is taking over Green Arrow. That's something that could be good!

The fact that the premise is about it being a more deadly JL.

It has the Martian Manhunter on it. If he didn't kill anyone whilst undercover in Stormwatch, he's not going to kill anyone whilst public with the JLA.

Frank Cho Unleashes a "Savage Wolverine"

Amadeus is our third main character. He's a fun character to use because I needed someone really smart to tackle the mystery of the island. I couldn't use any of the other famous Marvel geniuses like Reed Richards or Tony Stark, and Amadeus is the seventh smartest person in the Marvel Universe, technically. He's also a clean slate in a lot of ways, and he's a smart ass.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Amazing.

Frank Cho Unleashes a "Savage Wolverine"

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Amazing.

Wow, I'm more convinced that Wolverine has no supporting characters that aren't borrowed from elsewhere.

Land on Iron Man is still worse. But still... HAHAHAHAHA!

Did everyone else watch last night's Walking Dead?

[Count Yoda]

Oh! Jeff Lemire is taking over Green Arrow. That's something that could be good!

Hm, maybe I should try this out, just perhaps.

Haven't started the third season yet. But have seen a lot of buzz. Are you digging it?

I'm pretty much caught up on Homeland. And that's it.

Yeah, last night's might be the best episode since the pilot. It takes it in a very different direction.

Did everyone else watch last night's Walking Dead?

Yeah, it was amazing.

spoilers:

Knew T-Dog was a goner the second they gave him a line. But the writers are geniuses for killing him off in the same episode as Lori because as a viewer you think "ok well that's the big death for this episode-- holy mother f-ing S Carl! I didn't think they'd have the balls to pull off the death of Lori the way Kirkman did in the comics, but although their version was less shocking, it was way more traumatizing for sure. Huge balls. Carl is quickly becoming the best character on the show. I don't know if anyone watches Talking Dead, but after listening to IronE talk about the show, I kinda wish they did more with his character. Despite that though, I was mad when he got bit for some reason so they must have done something right.

Granted, Marvel and DC steal each other's ideas/current business models/gimmicks all the time, putting their own (often slight) spin on it, and they also frequently do so after previously criticizing said idea/practice, but DAMN, DC's execs were JUST shitting all over Marvel's variants for UA #1 and NOW! in general.

[Kid Impulse]

Yeah, it was amazing.

Yeah, the internet has a really weird affection for T-Dogg. Almost no-one on Reddit was talking about Lori because everyone was lamenting T-Dogg's death. I can't wait for seven episodes looking for Carol.
