5.2 about “5.2 about 52″

October 6th, 2006
Author Tom Bondurant

The mothership’s weekly 52 roundup welcomes new editor Michael Siglain and assistant editor Jann Jones.  Highlights include

– Jann Jones’ alpaca responsibilities,

– the fact that Siglain edits both Jonah Hex and Scooby-Doo,

– the extensive access Newsarama has to the 52 scripts (or at least this week’s, all about Super-Chief),

– the interviewer’s willingness to spell out the word “ass,” juxtaposed with Siglain’s use of @$$, and

– yet another Seven Soldiers spoiler, coming up in issue #24.

I suppose my two questions would be:

1) Given the amount of engineering necessary to make this weekly beast run, I wonder at what point the big mechanical difficulties stop and the fine-tuning begins; and

2) about that 7S spoiler — since the big finish is supposed to ship October 25 (a week after the character appears in 52 #24, couldn’t the story set for #24 have been delayed just a couple of weeks?

    ‘cept, of course, Bulletteer appeared in 52 #1, so nothing happining in issue #24 is more or less of a spoiler than that.

    also, seven soldiers supposedly ended about one week before infinite crisis.

    Yeah I don’t think there’s a major question about the death in 7S. I just hope the comic is good.
