This is the place to discuss the episodes of the Comic Book Page podcast, the Comic Book Page website or pretty much anything else of interest to the Comic Book Page community...

Yeah, good call. I had mentioned Chris Roberson earlier in the thread as someone I was disappointed not to see in the relaunch, and Miller is another good one. I'm really, really enjoying his Batgirl.

Gail Simone had this tweet last week:

Again, September is NOT THE END. There's still plans for characters that we haven't seen yet
So there is hope for other characters and hopefully creators. And I think it could be a lot of fun if some prominent characters come in later. I have to believe that we'll see Power Girl again and they could write a cool story in another book that reintroduces her. Perhaps that's the plan for at least some of the JSA characters (even if there isn't an actual JSA in this reality, as the Action Comics solicit indicates). And I think Bob mentioned this earlier that there could be some "mid season replacements." Let's face it, not all of these books are going to survive, so I'm sure they already have some replacements in mind.

I thought this was amusing:

In particular the release dates on the first item, and the disappearing person on the cover of JLI.

Wow. While I'm excited about the relaunch, those two things don't fill me with a lot of confidence (along with some of the late changes on creators). And the JLI cover just looks off now. Ugh.
