DC is beating the drum for their massive relaunch/reboot in September. First, they released a bunch of preview art. Then they sent out 52 “one-liners”. Each coming from one of the new issues. And each, supposedly, relating to the over-arcing themes of the reboot.
After the jump, we share the one-liners and all the color preview art with you!
TV by the Numbers is reporting:
Wonder Woman has been picked up to series by NBC, but no information yet on its scheduling.
Although this news isn’t official, TBN trusts their source. And our sources are confirming this. So we feel pretty confident in reporting this. We do, however, hear rumors that some re-shoots are planned to “adjust the tone” of the pilot. Hmmm … more on that later.
Update: The rumor mill is still going crazy over this story. Some still insisting the series is a go. Other say no. But most say no real answer till the 16th.
Update II: It seems that TV By the Numbers is changing their tune. Now they’re reporting:
Apparently, NBC has now passed on Wonder Woman, which our previously reliable source had told us would be picked up.
So much for new superhero series this fall. We’ll have to settle for … um … “Charlies Angels”?
Jim Shooter, one of the most interesting figures in comicdom, now has a blog. As a writer he’s been hugely influential. (He started writing Legion of Superheroes for DC Comics while still in High School.) As editor-in-chief of Marvel he became notorious. And as the creator o f superhero universes for independent companies ( e.g. Valiant, Defiant and Broadway Comics) he was ahead of his time.
On his blog, he answers questions on a wide range of subjects, and offers information on his latest projects. If you’re a Shooter fan (we are!) or just want learn more about the man, this blog is a treasure trove. Visit it here.
