I'm not familiar with the characters, but it sounds interesting. And this made me grin:
And hey, another guy who wants to write Superman.Should readers prepare to see The 100 or Flash appear in your story, or is this entirely focused on the titular character?
This is all Rose all the time. Having said that, if you're a Flash fan, Flash could be in every panel but moving too fast for you to see. Feel free to read it as if that's happening.

Wish they got a better artist. He's not bad but after Eternity's and Looker's art, this one seems lacking.

What I want to know is why isn't the velociraptor wearing Abe Lincoln's hat?
Anyone who thinks DC is bringing back the Silver Age doesn't know what the Silver Age is.
There is no such word as "persay," it's per se, two words, from the Latin.

Always liked Rose & Thorn (especially the Gail Simone book, was always sorry nothing more got done with that), and I loved Boba Fett Is Dead, so I'm eager to give this a try.

Same thing I was thinking. Tom Taylor is writing this? A fictional character writing fictional characters? This is totally blowing my mind! LoL Originally Posted by rpriske

Okay, I was worried that this would be a rebooted version of the Rose and Thorn that married Alan Scott. Glad to know it's a different character.

Hmm. Could be interesting...

Is there any chance that after the 4 issues DC would set an Internet poll for readers to pick one of the 4 issues for an ongoing series? I think top cow's season 1 was similar.

My only experience with Rose and Thorn (and the 100) was in the early issues of Booster Gold's original series.
I doubt those stories will be referenced, especially since they no longer happened in the nu52 continuity or lack thereof.
The Rose / Thorn duality was a neat concept and the new art looks nice. Good luck with the stories!
BOOSTER GOLD (Michael Jon Carter), HAWKEYE (Clint Barton), IRON FIST (Daniel Rand), MOON KNIGHT (Marc Spector aka Steven Grant aka Jake Lockley), NIGHTCRAWLER (Kurt Wagner),
NOVA (Richard Rider)
