A common question found in many fan circles these days about DC Comics is, essentially, “How long can The New 52 be considered ‘new’?”. One could argue that the constant refreshing of title since the relaunch, seeing titles getting canceled and replaced with new books, helps inject a dose of freshness into the universe-wide reboot. The shuffling of creative teams doesn’t hurt that either, nor does the chance to tell new stories unburdened by decades of continuity. But at WonderCon 2013, the real answer becomes abundantly clear: the enthusiasm that the creators have for their projects is infectious to the point where they geek out almost as much as the fans do for the characters.
At the “DC: The New 52 Panel” on the second day of the convention, creators gathered to reveal a truckload of future plans to an excited audience. Writers Ann Nocenti, Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Kyle Higgins, John Layman, Jimmy Palmiotti, Brian Buccellato, Scott Lobdell and James Robinson were in attendance to spill the beans and tease what’s to come in the lives of characters like Batman, Superman, The Flash and Jonah Hex.

Last month we announced Kurt Busiek's highly-regarded "Astro City" would be returning this coming June. But there was one change, the long-running Wildstorm series would be released under the DC proper label. When I asked Busiek about the possible changes that might come to "Astro City" as a result of the imprint shift, he said:

Everything old is new again: DC's "Old '42"
In response to criticism regarding their "New 52" initiative and what some fans perceive as the "destruction" of past continuity, DC Comics announced today that they would be performing yet another reboot -- setting the clock back to the 1940s permanently.
DC commented on the unusual move in a press release:
"You want continuity, huh? Here you go: back to the $&#$#@ Golden Age, you basement dwellers! Is that 'honoring the past' enough for you? Huh? HUH?!"

There's a certain way these kind of long-lead reveals in comics work: in the best situations, neither the comic creators (or us covering the comics) want to spoil the big reveals, but at the same time, the publishers want just enough tantalizing details about the big secret (whatever it may be) to keep readers readers invested for the couple of months until the issue in question comes out. So it goes with James Robinson in our chat yesterday about the Batman of DC Comics' Earth 2, whose identity will be revealed in May's first "Earth 2" annual.
Look, Robinson's not going to spill the beans about who's under the cowl (but we can safely assume it's not Bruce), but he did tell us a little about how this character operates and he wants readers to be assured that the character will be sticking around: "He's a huge part of 'Earth 2,' he's going to be a huge part of the DC Universe, and everything he does from the Annual onward will have huge implications for the DC Universe."

Things are getting darker, and fast, for DC Comics’ supernatural squad of heroes. Or so says “Justice League Dark” co-writer Ray Fawkes about the team’s new story arc.
Although the conclusion to the “Death of Magic” arc just hit stands this week with issue #18, we’re already looking ahead to #19, which drops April 17. Picking up about one day after the team returns from the Other-Dimensional City of Epoch, where their powers were all mucked up, the issue launches a new story line that will feature familiar faces from the DC-verse, such as regular Justice Leaguer The Flash. It will also bring Swamp Thing in as a guest-star who recently re-affirmed his role as avatar of the Parliament of Decay. Read More...
