Kinda with Linkara with this. DC and Marvel do the copy-each-other schtick quite often. Marvel's been a lot more blatant about it over the last 10 years (for example: Deadpool had a 800, 900 and even a 1000 issue around the times when DC, that had books that ran since the '30s, were reaching those milestones). ... I might be late to this but they aren't releasing the DC meets Looney Tunes vol 2 as a trade paper? I would presume they are - the Hanna Barbera crossovers got their 2nd TPB at the end of last year - but..........huh, no page for it at all on Amazon yet (a page is set whenever a collection is solicited, sometimes even earlier). And when did people start calling them "trade papers?" I've seen that show up a lot in the last 2 years - at comic book stores, even.

On the flip side, Bleeding Cool gonna Bleeding Cool. I’ll wait for more confirmation on this and the Marvel reboot.

One of the biggest overt symptoms of the comic industry dying has been Johnston remaining a prominent name in the news/newz field. A healthier business would have expunged him and his crap a long time ago.

It doesn't say much of anything, but King did tweet this vague message. twitter.com/TomKingTK/status/1131214891451338759If anything, I can see the Warner/AT&T higher-ups putting the kibosh on whatever King had planned, especially given the news about Robert Pattinson taking over the Bat-mantle from Ben Affleck for Matt Reeves' movie. WB and DC are likely looking for synergy in 2021. I've been waiting to see more corporate involvement in DC since last year's Bat-penis fiasco. I could see King getting pulled because the sales numbers on the "Batman" title have dropped from their 100,000 issue average when Snyder was on the book. "Batman" is still the biggest fish in the small pond of U.S. comics. I don't know how much this drop can be contributed to King, and Batman #50 more specifically, or a general slump of Batman comics IP. Some recent numbers about 2018's book market suggests that a lot of DC's long-tail catalogue has reached saturation, which includes several evergreen Bat-books. Maybe both are the case? www.comicsbeat.com/tilting-at-windmills-274-looking-at-bookscan-for-2018/I can put a positive spin on this story: King getting pulled off Batman might lead him to doing some creator-owned work, maybe at Image, and that's something I've wanted to see for awhile.

So maybe this still-in-effect plan now requires him to wrap up quicker (for whatever reason)? I mean I guess it doesn't totally mean he's being booted off the book... who knows.

Not a huge fan of King's work personally. Heroes in Crisis pretty much killed any interest in DC for the foreseeable future. Hate seeing a bunch of heroes, like Harper, Poison Ivy, and whatever the hell is going on with Wally, getting killed off as a shock element. I don't like hero deaths anyway, because we know they get undone eventually, but it's especially egregious in Heroes since at first everything is off panel and even once we see how it happens it still leaves a bad taste in your mouth. And because Wally is my favorite comic book character, Heroes gets another strike from me over the treatment and character assassination he's put him through.
Batman, I thought, started well enough. I loved the romance between him and Catwoman. I thought that for once they would go somewhere with Bruce that had only happened in Elseworlds stories and on other Earth's, marriage. Boundless possibilities spring from this idea and Superman at the time, and Flash way back when, showed how well balancing superhero stuff with family could work. Instead we circled back around to where we've been before. It doesn't work out and Batman is brooding again. Didn't hurt that the same tactic was being used in marvel with Kitty and Colossus. So him getting kicked off the main title doesn't sadden me as you can see.

Just give King a Lois Lane/Catwoman ongoing. Hot damn, but the few issues he wrote with those two as friends were great.

I wonder if this is going to be a monkey's paw decision for regular Batman readers if DC decides to put Bendis on a Batman book that's actually in continuity.

Sad to hear that a bit of laziness in research will mean Garcin will likely never work for Marvel again.

Y'all should check out Spider-man Life Story if you haven't been. It's an alternate reality set in "real time" starting from the 60s. Interesting to see the changes to the characters--e.g. Flash dies in Viet Nam, Peter marries Gwen only to find out she's a clone created by Miles Warren who had kidnapped the real Gwen etc.
Plus it's Bagley back drawing Spidey
