Baltimore Comic-Con: DC Nation Roundup
by Dru, filed in Comics, Events on Sep.10, 2006
There’s a lot of sites out there with transcripts (or approximations thereof) of the DC Nation panel, and the vast majority of it seems to be rehashing old knowledge and witty banter.� That said, there were at least a couple nuggets of knowledge worth gnawing on:
- New (?) Terra shows up in Supergirl #12 (issue to be drawn by Amanda Conner), and this will be the Terra on the Titans East team coming up in Teen Titans, which will be led by Deathstroke.
- A Terra miniseries is still coming, but after that Supergirl appearance
- Cassandra Cain (the recent Batgirl) will also be on Teen Titans East
- A General Zod more like the one from Superman II will be showing up somewhere, sometime
- Brave & The Bold will be a team-up book, with issue #1 starring Batman & Green Lantern, #2 with Supergirl, Green Lantern, Batman, & Blue Beetle, #3 will have all of them, plus a backup with Lobo & Adam Strange
- All 3 heroes in space in 52 will not be returning… so based on the previous bit, it seems that Adam Strange will probably still (unsurprisingly) remain in space
- The upcoming 5 issue extension of Manhunter will lead into an upcoming Wonder Woman story
- Diana Prince will show up in 52, somewhere, sometime
- Ambush Bug will be in issue #24 of 52, as will Checkmate, Suicide Squad, and Martian Manhunter
- There will be a Nightwing annual in early ’07
- Is Roy Harper becoming the Red Arrow, a la Kingdom Come?� “Not really.”
- Seven Soldiers will be coming out next month, they tell us yet again
- Meltzer is writing 14 issues of JLA total, including issue #0
- Despite the fact that we’re getting an All-Star Batgirl, and despite the fact that there’s nowhere to get Barry Allen stories, there are no plans for an All-Star Flash book
