We've all known this for months. Filthy trade-waiters... ;)

Is it really an "I told you so" moment when it's been telegraphed hard?
Also new Lois Lane and James Olsen ongoings by Rucka/Perkins and Fraction/Lieber respectively.
oh shit! Superman: Leviathan Rising Special #1 written by Brian Michael Bendis, Greg Rucka, Marc Andreyko and MATT FRACTION
Edit: and then I actually read the thing, that Fraction-Jimmy Olsen series is actually happening now but an ongoing instead of the mini they reported last year. I have never given a fuck about Jimmy Olsen and barely read Supes but I'll scoop that up for sure

there are a lot of people who refuse to believe that dc would do such character assassination.
I'm out of the loop, or I forgot; there's a major crossover now in the mainline Supes books?
We don't know, the special is the first step but Silencer will be dealing with her half sister, a failed Leviathan experiment so maybe its more of a "this is a thing that's happening in the world but it won't affect everything"
One of the 2 remaining New Age books(the other is Terrifics). Stars a former Leviathan assassin who Talia reactivates despite her just wanting to live a normal life and take care of her family. She was in Arrow last season I think
DC's plan to cut down to 22 books obviously starts with 2 new ongoings spinning out of Action Comics, lol
Rich meant 22 Bat and Super books. Presumably there would be others as well. Just a misunderstanding. Please keep giving him clicks.
That's awesome. Haven't gotten a chance to read the solicits yet. Glad those Fraction rumors were true.
This New 22 initiative isn't working all that well if they keep announcing new books?
Edit: damn you Hipsterpants
Looking forward to those for sure. Dog Days of Summer sounds cool (I've dug the majority of the anthology issues they've done). Also, the Doomsday Clock #11 solicitation has #10 of 12 in it, which is an embarrassing mistake.

I don't think I'd ever give a shit about a Jimmy Olsen book after Kirby's Fourth World but that team is too good
Bendis really brought the Portland boys. Maybe it was worth it after all...
In my perpetual catch up with DC / Marvel never ending releases, I sorta wanted to try something else yesterday, and read some Image.
Now I don't want to enter hyperbole or caricature regarding the big two output, but everything was great.
Farmhand was super good, and I didn't think I could topple that but then Leviathan, while super barebone plot wise, was great too. And then I tried one issue of Gideon Falls which transformed into four issues.
I'm not at the point of changing my reading priorities, I'm a spandex junkie, but it's tempting. This was fucking good. Impressed.

Why not? After he left Marvel, I thought Fraction was going to go the BKV route and only do creator owned stuff with maybe one self-contained mini. Getting him on a new ongoing is quite the coup for DC and probably wouldn't happen without Bendis.

Because people never like to credit Bendis. He is the big evil after all.
He deserves props for this. Fraction was completely done with superheroes.
So just out of curiosity was White Knight the first time that...
Looking forward to it!
The concept of two Harley's was introduced? That isn't a thing in normal canon anywhere right?
Looking forward to it!
It's in the Superman Leviathan Rising special. Fraction is one of the writers on it and the solicit text mentions it's the launch point for an ongoing
Looks like Absolute Swamp Thing is now coming 10/16/2019?
And they reallocated Batman and the outsiders!
YO that Jerome Opena Justice League variant
Also I am seriously interested in the Lois Lane book by Rucka, this entire Leviathan arc by Bendis, and of course Last Knight. Flash Year One as well, even though I havent been following Flash in awhile.
Kinda funny they still even bother putting Doomsday Clock in with a date.

Hmm. Absolute Swamp Thing re-solicited for October at the same price. Wonder what the point of cancelling orders was.
Wonder Woman omnibus v4. Hmm, maybe they plan to make omnibuses to fill in everything till the Jimenez omnibus. Any good material in there?
DCeased teasers looks as dumb as Blackest Night was.
❤️
The Wild Storm's covers and interior art are amazing. I've been letting issues pile up a bit so I'm behind right now, but I'm really excited to see what I've been missing.Hmm. Absolute Swamp Thing re-solicited for October at the same price. Wonder what the point of cancelling orders was.

One of the best artists working on ongoings. And no one else seems to come close to his action sequences. I need DC to make an Absolute Wild Storm to go with the rest of Ellis' Absolutes. And maybe an Absolute Global Frequency too.
It's funny to me that so much of the internet despises Bendis. I read Pearl and Cover and love them. Everything he did with Jessica Jones was gold. His Superman is a bit hit or miss, but overall I like it. Naomi seems to be off to a good start. I haven't read Scarlett or US vs. Murder Inc, but I've been a fan of most of his output at DC and yet here people hold him in such low regard.
In other news - DCEased looks fairly dumb to me.
I mean it's just looks like Marvel Zombies being played straight
It seems like it must be. WW, Batman are both still shipping twice a month and Silencer (which isn't a great seller) is not ending.
In unrelated news - it's funny, but not surprising, that Morrison pitched GL as a "day in the life of a space cop" story as if it would be fairly low-stakes, grounded (for a space cop anyway), etc... but in reality it's just as out there, imaginative and crazy as one would think a Morrison GL run would be.
It appears to be with these new books. Unless they start cancelling other titles left and right, it would still be pretty hard to hit just 22 books a month.
Maybe they just meant 22 core titles? Who knows what the original sourcing was for the rumor.
I appreciate that the response to Diamond asking DC to put it's solicits later in the week has been to just leak them all ahead of time anyway.
It was non-sense and one of the most irresponsible things Rich has ever published. Ryan Higgins showed pretty clearly how DC shrinking their line that much would basically kill the direct market. Too many shops depend on DC publishing double digit books per week and couldn't add enough volume from smaller publishers to make up for it.
