So I am sure you have read about the DC Universe reboot spinning out of Flashpoint.I will get into some details released but before that one interesting thing. There will 52 new number one issues. Will there be multiple Earths involved in this reboot? After all Grant Morrison's Multiversity is still on the backburner.
So what triggers this reboot you may ask? Well the main hook is probably whatever Barry Allen does to "fix" changes made in Flashpoint but another thing is Firestorm is set to meltdown around the time this reboot is happening has of the end of Brightest Day.
Okay on to the announced series so far:
Justice League: writer-Geoff Johns artist-Jim Lee Great creative team for the first reboot release but I have the nagging feeling that Jim Lee will only be artist for a few issues.The lineup is Wonder Woman,Supes,Batman,Flash,Green Lantern(Hal),Aquaman,and Cyborg
Birds of Prey-no creative team yet but Gail Simone is not involved
Teen Titans-writer-Fabian Nicieza Now I haven't read anything he has written in years but he has been getting acclaim for Red Robin and did write New Warriors in the 90s which was one of Marvel's best titles of the decade.
Justice Society of America-hoping for something good out of this but who knows
Wonder Woman-nothing known yet but I wonder(ha!)if this will be the long rumoured Geoff Johns/Adam Hughes collaboration.
Green Lantern-first evidence that this wont be a total reboot has this will carry on from the previous series plus there will be a Lantern Corps book. Though what happened to the Red Lantern book?
Hawkman-writer-James Robinson artist-maybe Philip Tan I hope this will be good. I love most of Robinson's work but his JLA has been iffy at times though the latest arc has been fun.I want the Indiana Jonesesque Carter Hall from the Golden Age mini.
Aquaman-writer-Geoff Johns artist-Ivan Reis series launching out of Brightest Day so again not a total reboot.
other points: I don't think Barry Allen will sacrifice himself again though Wally West might. Jim Lee is redesigning 50 costumes to streamline their looks and apparently the DCU will be getting more ethnically diverse. Does this mean Vibe is returning?
And no no one is selling thier soul to the devil.

Dream Comics(Current edition) Part 1
Okay here is what I did I picked a few dream comics using current writers and artists that primarily work for those companies that said comic would fall into. Has always readers reply with your picks.
Killraven-writer-Jeff Parker artist-Gabriel Hardman
Marvel's futuristic Conan who fights Martian after they dominated the Earth in the 90s. Rumours were that Robert Kirkman and Rob Liefeld were the next to get the crack at Killraven please Marvel don't do that.Mr. Parker and Hardman worked on the fantastic Agents of Atlas and would do wonders for Killraven in his timeline or the one who I think is still in the 616 after recent events in Avengers. Besides this idea comes Gabriel Hardman approved via twitter.
Defenders-Fred van Lente /Brad Walker
The team who is not a team. Fred Van Lente can do humor and action two things that the Defenders need also things Defenders need Dr. Strange,Hulk,and Nighthawk. Brad Walker is a great team book artist who is another rising star artist
Tales of Suspense Dr. Strange-w/a-Walt Simonson Cosmic-DnA/Khoi Pham
Okay I wanted to bring back a old school split book and here it is. I love Dr. Strange and I love Walt Simonson. He did some great work on Dr Fate for DC at various points in his career so i would like to see what he would do for Strange. With the Cosmic line up in the air after Annihilators I chose to put the continuing chronicling of the Cosmic here with of course DnA writing it. Khoi Pham is an artist who keeps getting better every comic he works on and want to see him get a crack at it specially after Chaos War
That is it for now I have more ideas next post will prolly be DC picks and possibly more Marvel

Comic Updates
Hey everyone! It's been awhile hasn't it? Yeah my bad. Kids still say that right?
Brightest Day(has of issue 6)-okay maybe I was wrong about the ending of Blackest Night. The beauty of the story so far is each segment is on equal footing in that there isn't a part that I would just skim over to get to the next. That is not to say there isn't a standout. In general Aquaman is the strongest segment with Firestorm being a personal favorite.
I think we all have seen the teaser image that opens this article. Sorry its not bigger but I had hell of a time just getting it there. One of the weirdest most interesting rumours stemming from this is that tree with the white lantern symbol. Some people are saying that will lead to swamp Thing returning to the DCU. Any other rumours please feel free to comment that goes with anything I post.Later in the week(which could be anytime in the next few months:P)I will do a write up on the Avengers so far. Now its time for a new recurring feature Coolest Comic Book Costumes! First up Earth 2 Robin. No not that grey thing originally worn by the adult Dick Grayson of Earth 2 but the costume originally made for the Earth 1 Robin but adopted by the E-2 counterpart. A version of this costume can be seen in Batman Brave and the Bold.Which every DCU fan should watch' Really fun cartoon. Please send in suggestions for future CCBCs

Things I am excited for Comic Edition!
Yes a look forward to things I am uhhh looking forward to in comics
Brightest Day-where is Blackest Night leading? Why Brightest Day of course. The interesting thing is that its a 26(?) issue bi-weekly series. Might be a little bit of overkill on DC's part but I have faith
Johns and company
Heroic Age-Marvel's next overarching storyline(if you weeeelll) I am really enjoying Dark Reign but I am glad to see the return of Heroes.(just not on NBC) The talk is that all Avengers titles are ending to be rebooted into one main Avengers title. Now I understand Dark and New ending but I hope something is good is in store for Mighty(Defenders maybe?) and Initiative is becoming Avengers Academy which is cool. Plus Gorilla Man is featured in promos for the Avengers hopefully that means more Agents of Atlas
War of the Supermen-The last year or so of the Superman titles have not had Superman in them cause Superman has been on New Krypton. In his stead has been Nightwing(Chris Kent) and Flamebird two Kryptonians tracking down fugitive agents put on Earth by Zod in Action Comics. Superman on the other hand features Mon-El and Guardian. The main enemy in both has been General Lane and Project 7734 err Hell who are a anti-alien military unit(echoing the Superman and Legion story buy it!) The War of the Supermen story is going to be(I think) a Krypton vs. Earth vs. Braniac/Luthor thing which should be cool.
Guardians of the Galaxy/Marvel Cosmic- This next entry is doesn't have a name yet but I have to talk about it(spoilerz) Not only to we have the Magus back but wait for it..............................
THANOS is coming back! Keep it coming Abnett and Laning!
Yeah thats it for now I will have some reviews and maybe a whatever post this week. Honest:)
Thanks again Ragingbullets.com
