Cool, Goyer and Johns are a great a team. I wonder what kind of event they're planning to do?.

Wonder if it is a Green Lantern thing.

[Batman9]

I want it now!

13 issue event... Sounds epic. Hope it's bi-weekly.

Goyer and Johns on the same project? It sounds like a recipe for epic awesome, but I'm a little put off by big events at the moment. After Avengers vs. X-men crashed and burned so spectacularly, I'm not sure I have the stomach for another event that does the same. But if anyone can do what Avengers vs. X-men was supposed to do, it's these two.

Could be nice to see Goyer curb some of Johns more annoying stylistic habits and proclivities. Certainly JSA was never as good as when those two were working on it together (actually, IMHO, at its best when Goyer and Robinson were working on it together).

Still, probably wouldn't be terribly excited about this either way.

I will wait with reacting till I know more.

It'll probably be a big crossover with Earth 2.

Wonder when this will be schedule since it wouldn't make sense to have it clash with Multiversity.

It'll probably be a big Earth 1-Earth 2 crossover.

I feel like James Robinson is the one who would be involved in that, not Goyer.

Well, Robinson will still be writing the Earth 2 monthly and presumably coordinating a lot of the ancillary stories.

13 issue event... Sounds epic. Hope it's bi-weekly.

I was actually hoping that it wouldnt be bi-weekly

with 13 issues you can almost feel that there will be a 0 issue and then 1-12

[Flamebird]

"Exclamation Point"!

Welcome to the new 53.

[Desaad]

Well, Robinson will still be writing the Earth 2 monthly and presumably coordinating a lot of the ancillary stories.

Yeah, but he's talked about writing an Earth 1/Earth 2 crossover already, and he's the only one who really knows what is going on in Earth 2, so it would make sense for him to be intimately involved in any crossover. At the very least he'd be co-plotter, yet Goyer only mentions Johns and himself.

Maybe something that brings John Blake into the DCnU? Or otherwise draws on Goyer's movie work? It'd make sense for Johns, as Creative Director, to be involved in something like that.
