""The New 52 was about showing the new world. Now we're just expanding on that world and furthering the story," says Bob Harras, DC Entertainment's editor in chief.
Make that plural "worlds." DC is bringing back its concept of parallel Earths in two of the books. Earth 2 features the return of the fan-favorite Justice Society, while Worlds' Finest stars two superheroines, Huntress and Power Girl.
In addition, G.I. Combat will offer a rotating roster of creative teams and rebooted tales of past war comics such as The Haunted Tank and The Unknown Soldier, while The Ravagers follows four teen superheroes on the run from an evil organization.
Morrison's Batman Incorporated pits the popular Caped Crusader and his army of global crime fighters against former flame Talia al Ghul, with their son Damian (who also is the current Batman sidekick, Robin) caught in the middle.
"It's like Kramer vs. Kramer, but they've got thermonuclear capability," Morrison says.
And instead of one superhero, Miéville will create several every month in Dial H, about a guy who finds an old dial that gives him different powers every time he uses it.
Nine of DC's "New 52" issues were among the 10 best-selling comics of 2011, according to Diamond Comics Distributors.
"Part of the sign of the New 52 growing up is that it can afford to stretch its wings a little bit and so some things that are a bit more left field," Miéville says. "There's room for a lot of different inflections in this vocabulary.""

So, JSA + James Robinson + Nicola Scott = Yay!
Batman Inc. should have Cass in (they SAID it should) so also yay.
Dial H for Hero could be interesting.
GI Combat might be interesting, though it seems to be more Weird War than more of a straight war comic.
And Ravagers... kind of sounds like Gail Simone's Gen13 run combined with Runaways, though it might be interesting. Though I'm getting Cass vibes from it, as I think I remember Gail saying she wanted to use them at some point.
For legality, here's a bit of one of the Dial H covers,
EDIT: Seems that the six new titles are meant to be replacing: BLACKHAWKS, HAWK AND DOVE, MEN OF WAR, MISTER TERRIFIC, O.M.A.C. and STATIC SHOCK.
No, please, don't cancel Hawk and Dove. Where will we get out Rob Liefeld art from now.

Date: 2012-01-12 12:48 pm (UTC)Though considering the Newsarama article on these new books said that they were escaping from N.O.W.H.E.R.E., which I think is the organisation from Teen Titans, it doesn't necessarily mean that Cass has been retroconned again...
...Just abducted by yet ANOTHER secret organisation. Which considering she's meant to be a member of Batman Inc. at this point, REALLY doesn't bode well for N.O.W.H.E.R.E.
Cass *gets to a payphone*: Red Robin? Yeah, I know I'm in Montana when I'm supposed to be in Hong Kong. Well I was abducted by some assholes who kept me locked in a room with a glasswall because apparently knowing martial arts is a superpower to them.
Tim: What, another secret organisation that kidnaps teen superheroes?!? Hang on, I'll get Bruce on the phone. *rings Bruce, who rings his friends*
Three hours later, the combined forces of the JLA and Batman Inc. dismantle N.O.W.H.E.R.E.

To be fair, the speed at which Cass can switch techniques has been analysed as one only found in metas according to the government guys Cass annoyed in her series.

Hah. I was spot on. Helena Bertinelli is indeed Helena Wayne. I could simply DIE OF HAPPY right now. :D

Date: 2012-01-12 01:56 pm (UTC)The name Ian Churchill rings a bell, but I don't remember the context. Was he the one who wrote terrible stuff on Supergirl? But I think I also remember him writing good things. Hmm.
Also: YES ROSE.
