First bit of news, Paul Pelletier is indeed replacing Ivan Reis on Aquaman.

Also, I wish Johns hadn't spoiled that bit about Simon's reaction to Superman, cos that's hilarious.

It's nice Johns wants to redefine Cyborgs role on the team...would of course be nicer if he had a role now besides being team bus... :S

[Mr. Holmes]

I guess I'll go ahead and give this a shot. Hopefully, this book turns out better than the current JL, and more in line with JSA.

Still not crazy about a FIFTH American Green Lantern.

I'm surprised nobody asked how long until the next reboot.

well I guess its because DC seems to reboot every 10-20 years. That and I doubt people dislike the DCnu beyond forum posters anyway.

Johns also explained that the team on the CW’s “Arrow” read “Green Arrow” books for inspiration

sadly none of the writers of the Nu52 comic book did the same

An African-American fan asked if there were any plans to bring Static Shock over to the Teen Titans, to more audience applause, asking about Icon, Hardware, Rocket and the rest of the Milestone characters.

“Geoff and I actually have a meeting on some of that,” Lee told the fan, adding, “Stay tuned for 2013!

well
at least there was a meeting

This just might interest me.

I'm hoping when Johns says Third Army is building towards something bigger he means Trinity War and not another big Green Lantern story. I mean, come on. We've already got an all-out war against the Guardians. What the hell can be bigger than that?

[MB99]

well
at least there was a meeting

Actually Newsarama phrased that differently:

Johns: "Jim and I actually have a meeting on some of the stuff you mentioned at the end." Jim: "Yeah, Geoff and I are meeting with the people in charge of those characters. So stay tuned to 2013!"

This makes it sound like their meeting with the guys who own the Milestone characters. Wonder what that means.

When I see a book with them in it that has NO ONE from that abortion of a Static series and it's actually on stands I will believe them.

Sad that folks have to beg to see a characters used.

The battle against the first Green Lantern.

The battle against the first Green Lantern.

Is that really bigger than the Guardians themselves, though?

Is that really bigger than the Guardians themselves, though?

Considering that we know practically nothing about the first GL and too damn much about the Guardians to want them dead, I would say yes.
