From LitG, witha green light:
* Wonder Woman vol. 3 #1, by Alan Heinberg and Terry Dodson.
* All-Star Wonder Woman #1, by Geoff Johns and Adam Hughes.
* Superman/Batman, by Mark Verheiden and Ethan Van Sciver.
* Ivan Reis on Green Lantern.
And my personal favorite:
Brave and the Bold, by Mark Waid and George Perez
;D ;D ;D ;D

Assuming this is all true... Wonder Woman: Eh. Heinberg hasn't impressed me on anything I've read by him. Mainly Young Avengers, which has its moments but fell apart in the execution. I'm passing on this one. All-Star Wonder Woman: I'd pick that up. Wonder Woman needs someone who can reinvent her without all the conceptual problems that she has. If Johns could fix a continuity nightmare like Green Lantern, I see no reason why he couldn't fix Wonder Woman. Superman/Batman: I like Van Sciver on art, but I can't speak about Verheiden. I haven't been following Superman, so I don't know if this is a good thing or not. Probably will give this a pass unless I see a compelling reason to try it. Green Lantern. Reis is a good call to replace the GL art team. He's a good, solid artist who can draw cosmic landscapes. He's done a pretty good job on Rann-Thanagar. Brave & The Bold: I figured there was a good chance I'd be getting it. With Perez, those chances just went up. I'm intrigued.  All in all? Definitely more good than bad here. I'm liking it. |

No offence to fans of Johns, but he's hardly an 'All Star' writer. I'm not sure that can be true... Hughes is arguable, but I would've thought Perez would have got the job, there, too. The idea of 'All Star' was to put the very top names on these titles, after all... But then again, Quitely doesn't fit the bill over on ASS, so what do I know?  ;D |

Johns is a solid writer, but no, he doesn't have the status of a Miller or a Morrison. Not that many people do, but still. Question with Hughes is whether the book will be on time. I can't recall the last time he's done an ongoing series. Art should be worth the wait, though. |

I'd read all those books except s/b, that writer has less than impressed me.

He may not be up to Miller or Lee (and I don't think Morrison is up to either) but he's certainly one of the hottest writers of the day, alongside writers like Millar or Bendis.

Hughes will be great on Wonder Woman. If he meets the deadlines. I'd also be interested in the Brave & The Bold as well. Other than that nothing really appeals to me. |
