Will we see DC put more effort and titles into their Earth One line?

[HXHAlex]

With the financial success of both Superman volumes (I suppose critically it's been a bit of a mixed bag, but the sales are there) and Batman doing well (? Did batman do well? I'm assuming it did) do you think we will see volumes of both titles released quicker? Superman EO Vol. 1 was one of the 2 purchases I made the first time buying Superman books. I loved Vol. 2 and for being virgin to Superman stories I found Vol. 1 entertaining. I think there is potential with this series, but not if we only get one volume every year+. I'd like two volumes a year


What's the next character you'd like to see get the Earth One treatment? I'd like to see Hal, especially with him gone from the main universe for a bit

I don't see us getting them any more often unless they bring in new writers. I'd personally like to see Flash.

I think there is a possibility that the Morrison & Paquette Wonder Woman project will be for the Earth One line. And I know Morrison wants to do a Flash project, and that may be for Earth One as well.

I have to agree with Hal, his history has been sort of wonky as of late, and with how horribly the Green Lantern film bombed, it may be time to take a different direction with Hal, and Earth One could be a good avenue for that.

Where is your avatar from? Justice League (Jim Lee), Green Lantern (Mahnke), or something else?

It's from the Johns/Lee JL title. It's during the end of the introduction arc. Issue 5 or around there

I suppose one volume per year wouldn't be that bad.

Won't happen unless they put deadlines on the writers and / or put people specifically on the Earth One line full time.

The whole point, I'm assuming, is to avoid the rush of monthly books that wind up with either fill-in writers and artists or sometimes questionable quality. If you start rushing Earth One projects, they'll turn into regular crap books, not really nice vanity projects they can charge more $'s for.

Well, WW by Morrison and Paquette sure is an effort. Paquette already confirmed it :)

The Flash by Darwyn Cooke would be cool.

yeah thats true, I guess this earth one line just started out slow and now we are seeing more titles in it pop up and get announced

That's what we thought about the All-Star line.

[dornwolf]

Well we know there is a Vol.3 for Superman, a Vol.2 for Batman and eventually a Wonder Woman book. So I imagine we're working our way through the Justice League. As long as they stay a successful series I'd guess that Flash, Aquaman and Green Lantern are all in the works.

I've said it before and I'll say it again with the Arrow show a hit now would be the perfect time for Green Arrow Earth One
And put the GA: Year One team on it.

The Earth One line has been a huge sales success for DC so I think it's pretty obvious that they're going to put more effort into it.

Frankly, I thought that Superman: Earth One Vol. 1 was barely okay and Vol. 2 was a little better but not exactly great, on the other hand Batman: Earth One was fantastic and easily the best book that Johns has released on the last five years so I'm really anticipating its sequel. Overall, I would say that the line is hit and miss in terms of quality.

Hopefully the rumours about Morrison's Wonder Woman: Earth One are true since the idea of him working on a character from scratch is an assured victory (Almost, I'm looking at you Action Comics). Personally, I'm more excited about the possibility of The Flash: Earth One and Green Arrow: Earth One.

Honestly I'd of rather had Ruka on the Wonder Woman one, he's proven time and again to be solid with female characters. As for who should get books, get an Aquaman book going now before his popularity tanks.
