DCU Wave 2? Wave 3?

When do you think the next waves of the DCU relaunch will hit? Which new titles do you think will be added?

JSA has been confirmed, although its launch date is still unknown. My guess is that a Power Girl series will launch with it, also on Earth 2.

On the main earth, I'd be astonished if we didn't get a Steel series out of the Action backups, and a Shazam series out of the Justice League backups (or, who knows, Cap might wind up on another earth altogether!). Depending on the timing of Wave 2, these might be held back for wave 3 -- it depends on the timing of the backups.

I'm thinking that once his origin is established, we might see a Cyborg ongoing, too, in the Justice League line. Probably another Batbook will come along, and I'd love to see what's next for the Edge, Dark and Young Justice lines. Any guesses on what we'll see, and when we'll see it?

  • We've had solicitations through January and nothing new on the horizon yet. I'd guess that February new stuf may hit, if not then it'll be April/May since that's when the publishers tend to start their summer events.

     

     

  • I think April/May is when we'll see the next big launch, too. Something tthat will pump up the early summer months. Maybe May, kicked off with a Free Comic Book Day sampler?
  • I hadn't realized they were putting a Steel backup in Action, when's that supposed to begin?
  • who knows, Cap might wind up on another earth altogether!

     

    Seems to me that I've heard a number of people say over the years that they felt that the Marvel Family didn't fit in well in the "mainstream" DCU, so maybe this will be the case.

  • I suspect their next wave will hit in tandem with Multiversity... whenever that is.
  • Steel begins with issue 4. From the solicitation:

     

    And in a backup story from writer Joshua Hale Fialkov and artist Matt Camp that spins out of ACTION COMICS #2, John Henry Irons takes his first steps toward becoming the hero known as Steel!

  • For Dark, I'd like to see Night Force or Challengers of the Unknown (though they could work for Edge, too). For Edge, it'd be great to have Secret Six back (though I'd hold off until wave three to allay accusations of already backtracking), but I think the Question (either one) could fit very nicely there, as well. I'd like to see a super-spy title, too -- not an organization (I think Checkmate tended to get too bogged down in politics) but an agent or a pair of agents. Maybe Nemesis?
  • I was enjoying the Zatanna solo title before the relaunch. Paul Dini left the book before but he had a story cooking with Brother Night and a possible love interest. I know she's in JL Dark but I like to see her in her own title again with someone who'll devote to taking the title on a long run.
  • My guesses would be Shazam!, Gen 13 and Power Girl. Maybe a spy book or something like Warlord, too.
  • Yeah, I'd like a barbarian adventure book like Warlord or Sword of the Atom.
