While I like the JSA/Earth-2, I don't really trust either to come off well based on what I've seen of the reboot so far. (The reboot as a whole feels too much like all the stuff I didn't like about DC before---"meet the new boss, same as the old boss", only with the violence/crude sex references/etc. amped up...)<br /><br />Between this and other cancellations/changes, guess I'll be down to "Action" (for Morrison) and "Superman Family Adventures" (the replacement for "Tiny Titans," also being axed). Otherwise, back to reprints/back issues/Johnny DC stuff for me...Anthonyhttp://www.anthonynotes.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-15301379399425530472012-01-12T19:27:31.249-05:002012-01-12T19:27:31.249-05:00@Brent--That's the Phantom Stranger, not Dr. S...@Brent--That's the Phantom Stranger, not Dr. Strange!

And the same caveat for Ravagers as everyone else: Aqualad!<br /><br />I've never like war comics, so I'm a little biased — but with Men of War getting cancelled, does DC think GI Combat will work?<br /><br />And while I never read them, it's a shame 2 books starring black heroes are getting canned. However, I've read the full run of Batwing and am really digging it. Very unique.<br /><br />And of Rob's choices, I don't care much for Plas or Dr. Strange (and who's the purple chick?) but would love to see all the others back in play!Designer Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830927906423071342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-2147838191234252622012-01-12T09:12:09.320-05:002012-01-12T09:12:09.320-05:00Shame indeed about OMAC, but at least they can'...Shame indeed about OMAC, but at least they can't say DiDio was playing favorites ... hope they replace it with another Jack Kirby-centric book soon.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-23189316666033584962012-01-12T08:23:35.630-05:002012-01-12T08:23:35.630-05:00Hmmm... even when I like the idea, I don't thi...Hmmm... even when I like the idea, I don't think they'd bring so many Aquaman's characters (Aqualad, Dolphin, Tula)... not sure about Hawkgirl either. I like seeing Black Lighting there though. <br /><br />As for which I'd like to see, what about the Atom?
