I'm not gonna post it here, but it's buried in Fantastic Four 600 if you want to find it for yourself.

Heh I see what you did there and thinking I agree

Yeah, and I think the Beyonder is something else. Hickman is never afraid to have 50 million swirling plot points in most of his stories.

so it looks like DC is rebooting again?

UPDATE 2/6/2015 3:40 AM PT: IGN has the announcement of more new series coming from DC Comics in June: "Batman Beyond" from writer Dan Jurgens and artist Bernard Chang; "Cyborg" by writer David Walker and artists Ivan Reis & Joe Prado; "Dark Universe" by writer James Tynion IV and artist Ming Doyle; "Doomed" by writer Scott Lobdell and artist Javier Fernandez; "Red Hood/Arsenal" by Lobdell and artist Denis Medri (taking the place of "Red Hood and the Outlaws"); and "We Are Robin" by writer Lee Bermejo and artists Rob Haynes & Khary Randolph.

Additionally, IGN has word that "Harley Quinn/Power Girl" is a four-issue miniseries, to be illustrated by Stephane Roux; and that "Starfire" will be drawn by Emanuela Lupacchino. Both are written by the "Harley Quinn" duo of Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner.

With these announcements, 18 out of the 24 new DC Comics series have now been revealed. Keep reading CBR for the very latest.

Following "Convergence," DC Comics has 24 new series set to launch in June 2014, as part of what the publisher calls a "more inclusive and accessible" lineup where "story will trump continuity." CBR can exclusively announce seven of these titles and their creative teams.

Bryan Hitch, the acclaimed artist of "The Authority," "The Ultimates" and much more, will return to DC to write and draw "Justice League of America." Hitch first took on both writing and art duties on his creator-owned series "Real Heroes" for Image Comics.

"Bizarro," described in DC's press release by Co-Publisher Jim Lee as one of three new "offbeat, irreverently funny titles," will be written by frequent DC animation scribe Heath Corson, with art by Gustavo Duarte. "Prez" -- a revival of a semi-obscure '70s concept and another series billed as having a humorous bent -- comes from the team of writer Mark Russell and artist Ben Caldwell.

"Omega Men," originally introduced in the early '80s in the pages of "Green Lantern," will be reimagined by "Grayson" co-writer Tom King and artist Barnaby Bagenda. Novelist and former Vertigo editor Alisa Kwitney, who's also writing "Convergence: Batgirl," is set to team with artist Mauricet on a series tentatively titled "Mystic U."

Garth Ennis and John McCrea, who teamed on unique and beloved DC Universe title "Hitman" in the '90s, have returned to DC for limited series "Section Eight," based on the characters who first appeared in 1997's "Hitman" #18. Former DC Comics president and veteran writer Paul Levitz will write the first "Dr. Fate" series in recent years, illustrated by "The Shadow Hero" artist Sonny Liew. ("Shadow Hero" writer Gene Luen Yang is set to take over as writer of the ongoing "Superman" series in June.)

Other new series announced via DC's press release include "Constantine: The Hellblazer" from Ming Doyle and Riley Rossmo (taking the place of the current "Constantine" series); a "Black Canary" book written by "Batgirl" co-writer Brenden Fletcher; "Starfire," written by the "Harley Quinn" team of Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti (who are also writing a "Harley Quinn/Power Girl" series in addition to the solo "Harley Quinn"), "Cyborg" and "Bat-Mite."

Keep reading CBR for much more on DC's new publishing initiative.

Just fucking give me my Gen13 book DC!

And not a reboot, just new creative teams/titles (same thing Marvel does every year)

**Qalbert** · 2015-02-06 09:55

story over continuity at least sounds like things might go in a vaguely reboot-y direction.

**Krandor** · 2015-02-06 10:16

I'd expect some soft reboots. DC usually can't manage going 3-4 years without starting shit over.

By the way, can Amanda Conner just draw like everything?

Marvel Announces All-Female Avengers, "A-FORCE"

http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/...aforce-570.jpg
Back in September, Marvel announced on The View that a new person would wield the hammer of Mjolnir, and she would become the new Thor. Marvel recently announced there will be another announcement on The View. Today, Marvel announced a new book that will shake things up.

The May debut of A-FORCE, which will be a part of the larger SECRET WARS event, will feature fan favorite female characters, coming together to fight evil. The team will feature characters like She-Hulk, Medusa, Dazzler, Nico Minoru, and more.

The series will be written by G Willow Wilson and Marguerite Bennett and will feature the art of Jorge Molina.

In addition, this part of Battleworld, named Arcadia, will feature a new character named Singularity created by Wilson, according to a recent USA TODAY article.

A-FORCE will be the 15th female led book at Marvel and sits on the shelves next to other on-going female led series like UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL-GIRL, CAPTAIN MARVEL, MS MARVEL, THOR and ANGELA: ASGARD'S ASSASSIN.

A-FORCE will be available in May.

NICO AND KAROLINA!!!

**Vagrant** · 2015-02-06 14:43

Full list of new and returning titles for DC post-Convergence.

Spoiler: show

**Krandor** · 2015-02-06 15:05

I'm counting.... 15 of those titles being Batman or starring a Batman character.

Edit : 15, and wasn't counting team books.

**tyven** · 2015-02-06 15:52

Geoff Johns is only writing one title?

**Krandor** · 2015-02-06 16:06

Johns has only been writing Justice League for awhile now. I would imagine he's busy enough without having to write anything.

**Vagrant** · 2015-02-06 16:15

He had been on Superman also after he left Green Lantern. Apparently that is over already.

**tyven** · 2015-02-06 16:15
