Bleedingcool: Jim Starlin To Write New Ongoing Series For DC

[InformationGeek]

For some reason I am now picturing some weird crossover where all of the Tara Strong voiced characters go on an adventure together.

Example: Raven and Harley Quinn trapped in Ponyville

... I would pay to see that.


But anyways, no confirmation yet? Oh well. I wonder I wonder... could it be something in Wave 5 instead of a takeover?

You will know what it is in the next solicitations.

Got into comics a couple of years after Infinity Gauntlet, there was still a large enough buzz around it that I picked it up. Loved the story, still do. Also his Silver Surfer issues, his Thanos Quest mini, and eventually (when I could afford it and track them down) his Warlock and Captain Marvel runs from the '70s. However, after the Infinity Gauntlet (and the comics tied into it, not counting Infinity War and Infinity Crusade which were awful) I can't say I've enjoyed a comic written by him.

Maybe you should look into Dreadstar as well.

After reading this thread I went down into the basement and pulled out my collection of Dreadstar to reread. Good stuff.

Finfangfool, I thought it was pretty clear the comparison was between God of Thunder and Azz's book, not the last 30 years.

No one but YOU said that. I was comparing them both from all eras. Thor has ALWAYS outsold Wonder Woman.

[darkseidpwns]

Truly awful news.

Guaranteed failure.

LOL,I hope it's not the New Gods.

I say"NO!" to Jim Starlin on any DC property, especially the New Gods. His Cosmic Odyssey and Death of the New Gods were absolute trash.

Holmes, if that's the case, I agree with you. Apologies for misreading.

[Billy Batson]

I'm not a fan of Jason Aaron (an overrated writer that I'm sure some in this discussion would love to have on their DC titles), so I'm not getting the current Thor comic.

You haven't even tried to new series? I've heard nothing but good things about it.

Dreadstar is one of my favorite stories I've ever read. I LOVE it.
As for Jim's body of work. I see a lot of people trashing Cosmic Odissey and Death of the New Gods.
While I'm sure some people had a problem with him defining the anti-lfe equation in CO, I thought it was a great story. No doubt Mike Mignola's art had a lot to do with my enjoyment.
Death of the New Gods was a comissioned work. He was paid to kill the NG, so what did you expect? Join in the caotic editorial state of DC with Countdown, and nothing good could have come out of it. I for one, thought that it, at least, showed us that Starlin still had the chops artwise.
Liked a lot his Batman run, his Infinity Watch, his The Wierd,and his Captain Marvel. Warlock too.
Never was much of a fan of the Silver Surfer, so that didn't do much for me. I found Infinity Gauntlet and the Infinity Trilogy okay, but I don't consider it the masterpiece many seem to do.
As I've said before, I was enjoying quite a lot his previous DC cosmic work
Bottom line, Starlins batting average, while not perfect (and very few are), is high with me, so I'm excited about whatever he'll be doing next for DC, and, depending on the character, am sure to pick it up.

Peace

Co-signed. I love Starlin cosmic for Marvel, but really detest his work for DC.

I've tried 8 different series by Aaron, each time hoping this "genius" I keep hearing about will show itself and each time being disappointed. After a while it's just throwing good money after bad, and Thor (like Wonder Woman) isn't a character that I feel compelled to follow in spite of creative teams. Now if it were Hercules or the Black Knight (or Fin Fang Foom) I'd be S.O.L. I've heard nothing but good things on CBR about it myself, but the same goes for every one of those series I wasted money on (though "Wolverine and the X-Men" seems to be losing that luster if what I'm reading on the X-Boards is true).

Yeah always except for the last year or so (before Thor got a new #1).

Understandable. Are you eventually going to check it out if it doesn't turn bad?
You should check out his creator-owned work The Other Side and Scalped if you want to see why people like him.

This apparently has something to do with it
