At least an owl isn't chasing you as you read the issue.

That would be cool. OK, not really. Owls are bastards.
I was working on a remodel on the side a year ago and one tried to knock the tree trimming guy the owners hired out of one of the trees.

Well you see Dawson and Joey like each other a lot but it doesn't work out and Pacey likes Joey too and Jen is all "let's row this boat" and 15 issues later everyone is eating pizza.

They need to take it up a notch and make the recap page Jean's diary.

Dear Diary,
What is up with Wolverine? Every time us time displaced X-Men get near him he suddenly acts like a silverback gorilla...

 

[Supermanisdead]

All New X-Men is good, old-fashioned teen drama. The kind of charming, cute storytelling we had in the New X-Men book before they all become PTSD-suffering, drug-addled psychotics. See also: Spider-man Loves Mary Jane.

Was tired of trade waiting the pre Zero Year Batman so went and picked up 13-20. This starts the Death of the Family. Am I in for a good ride?

I'd say so, there are a few problems with the arc but overall it's very good. Zero Year is on a whole other level so far though. Makes Black Mirror look lame.

It's good, not great imo. Still a good read.

DC hits the quarter in November.

Arg, may just skip Batgirl that month, given that Gail isn't writing. Regardless, the amount of tie-ins feel like overkill, I'm almost surprised that Batwoman didn't get shoehorned in as well. Haven't read Collider/FBP yet, though I may keep an eye out, given the praise here.

Wait, what the hell? Why? Are they trying to fire her again?

 

[Messi]

I have no idea how to follow stuff like zero year, with the tie ins and such. Its new to me :/

Wait, what the hell? Why? Are they trying to fire her again?

She is gone

 

[slightconfuse]

@GailSimone: @cerial442 Yes, 25 is a fill-in, I am back with 26 finishing the epic BATGIRL: WANTED storyline.

From her twitter

 

[Veelk]

She is gone

What the fuck? Why?

From her twitter

Wait, so is she just taking a break or is she just off the book completely?

 

[ericexpo]

Wait, what the hell? Why? Are they trying to fire her again?

can't believe they're going to try to fire her again.
I feel sorry for her, but i do think it's about time they get someone new to write batgirl.

 

[Messi]

wait maybe I got this wrong, maybe she is not gone. :/

edit: yeah seems I got it wrong.

this one knows whats up, don't listen to me

Wait? Again? Are you kidding me? Goddamn it DC, the book is doing fine. It's fun, it's good, what more do you want? I don't think Snyder has the time to write all of the Bat-books. I swear to god if you put Lobdell on that book...

 

[KoruptData]

Yeah. That pic of a tweet is from when she was originally let go.

Oh thank god. Batgirl has been getting pretty good so it would be a shame if they took her off it.

We'll probably hear more about the Harley solo-book closer to launch, or when they announce the creative team.

I have had a long day

I see it is listed as issue 0 on the November solicitations, with 3 covers no less.

 

[sazabirules]

I don't think I've seen Palmiotti listed on a title without Gray on it as well. I'm assuming that is his new wife.

Jeeze, who isn't drawing this book?

We'll probably have an interview soon to tell us about the direction of the book because frankly I know all of jack shit from reading that solicit.

Did I not read somewhere that Harley is going to 'pick' the artist she likes best during this first issue. To draw it going forward?

I am irrationally excited for this thing.

 

[slightconfuse]

I believe they said the fans will choose the artist based on who draws the 0 issue.

Also pretty sure the simonsons work together on something

 

[Freezasaurus]

Please don't listen to me, I dun fucked up . Serves me right reading old news.

LOL, okay. I was going to say, if they tried to pull that shit again, I would have absolutely dropped every last DC book I read.

There was a few interviews when it was first announced. From what they said, its more like a day in the life of type book. Kind of like Hawkeye.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

From what I remember, they said at the SDCC that the first issue's going to be some fourth-wall breaking stuff where Harley auditions potential artists for her new series.

EDIT: Everyone seems to have a version of that story. I thought it was Harley picking the artist

Spoiler

who's not going to be any of the names mentioned I'm willing to bet.

 

[Messi]

LOL, okay. I was going to say, if they tried to pull that shit again, I would have absolutely dropped every last DC book I read.

Can you fill me in on what happened the first time? I read the first trade and really liked it.

 

[Nudull]

I swear to god if you put Lobdell on that book...

Why you have to put the fear in me like that? Knowing DC, if they ever had the chance... ;_;

 

[Messi]

Can I just assume the stuff Brian K Vaughn does is good? seems I like everything of his I read.

What did he have to do with Under the dome? did I see his name on that tv series? was that good?

 

[TheKaeptain]

Yes. Check out the Doctor Strange story he did.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Basically, DC fired her as the Batgirl writer via email, then her fanbase had a fucking fit, which caused DC to almost immediately name GAIL SIMONE as the new Batgirl writer, replacing GAIL SIMONE. DC readers tolerate a lot of shitty decisions from DC editorial. But this was one thing that wasn't going to pass without comment.

 

[B-Dubs]

That sounds like a neat gimmick. OK, I'm in for a few issues. I always liked the character, it's too bad Dini and Timm don't get any money when DC uses her though. They did DC a real favor when they came up with Harley Quinn.

Why you have to put the fear in me like that? Knowing DC, if they ever had the chance... ;_;

I know, it feels like they'd put Lobdell on everything if they could.

They fired her through an e-mail too. Couldn't even sack up and give her a call on the phone. She'd been good on that book too, which made it all the more bullshit.

 

[Messi]

Yes. Check out the Doctor Strange story he did.

I'd just like to assure everyone that Mr. Corrigan will indeed be dead within a month.

Writing? Because Mike and Laura Allred have worked together a lot.

 

[arkon]

Damn, and Collider was such a solid name. I sincerely hope this doesn't affect sales because this series deserves some success. Art and writing were fantastic in the first issue and completely surprised me, considering I knew nothing about the creators prior to the series.

Shame about the name change. And yeah hopefully it can go from strength to strength. First issue had a lot of promise.

 

[slightconfuse]

Year zero and infinity

Oh lawd

 

[TAJ]

I believe they said the fans will choose the artist based on who draws the 0 issue.

They had a run on X-Factor in the mid-'80s.
The earliest husband-wife team I can think of was on Elfquest. Not Marvel or DC, but it probably had sales that modern comics can only dream of. Actually, it eventually went to Marvel's Epic imprint now that I think about it.

 

[frye]

There's also Tom + Mary Bierbaum on Legion if we're talking writers-only, a ton of artist/colourist teams (Miller/Varley, the Allreds, Mazzucchelli/Lewis, the Breitweisers...)

How bad do you think he feels that he has to draw a Bendis comic now? He was probbaly like "oh shit all this info is out in public, no I wont be able to deny Brian" then Brian calls his up and word balloons protrude through the telephone speaker like sperm and egg.
