I much prefer the general idea of “let’s do something different” to “let’s do another X-Men/Batman/Avengers book.” DC really has tried to hard to create diversity. Even if the execution has been inconsistent, even if there are a lot of problems with how DC does things aside from this. And even if, in the end, it’s probably a safer route to do more Batman and X-Men and Avengers books, judging by the cancellations we just saw.

Personally, though, I am a lot more excited by the new Gail Simone book. Her comments – she is the best reason I know to have a Tumblr account – make me think that she is going to be given a lot more room to tell her tale than DC’s been giving people not named Johns, Lemire or Snyder. Good to see that Baltazar and Franco are getting another shot.

this had to have been in the works long before your paltry column was written… and some of your suggestions are so laughable. —like you and you columns
