Spreading unconfirmed rumors for beginners

Well Geoff Johns announced that he and Francis Manapul will be on Flash, I understand that Johns will stay on Green Lantern that he will head up a new core Justice League Of America title to be announced shortly. So while Geoff keeps control over the League and two of its members, friend and colleague Grant Morrison will be keeping the others in check, continuing a monthly Batman book but also adding a Superman and Wonder Woman book to the mix, for the full Trinity set.

From BleedingCool.com

I realize that I'm in the minority when it comes to my blind, seething hatred for Grant Morrison's writing style and everything he represents in the industry, so I'll reserve my vitriol for later. But giving Grant Morrison--Grant "girl power, bondage, and disturbed sexuality" Morrison--a Wonder Woman title? Be not proud.

For legality, something that has nothing to do with anything, but should at least bring a smile to someone's face. From Secret Six #9:

I'd hardly say that you're in the minority when it comes to disliking Grant's work. After all, for as many people as I know that loved Batman RIP and the idea that it was a celebration of what makes Batman who he is and that he can triumph over any enemy because he is Batman, there were easily as many that disliked it. He's divisive, easily moreso than Johns, who can also be regarded in the same way - And Johns is someone who easily writes worse versions of Batman and various others than Morrison.

I don't like everything he's written, and I'm much more into his superhero work than some of his more out-there stuff, but I'll give him a chance with these. If it gives Diana two books, at least for a while, I guess we can't complain too much. I doubt Gail wants to leave yet, anyway, so you'll at least have that to counterbalance what you don't like.

Also, does anyone know if Johns is taking over the main JLA book, which is under his buddy Robinson's control very, very soon? Or is he getting his own little title and sandbox to play with?

Or it could just mean that DC's kicking Gail off the book. Morrison is known as a big fan favorite and Wonder Woman hasn't been doing too great lately. (The numbers went under 30,000 for the first time in a while.)

And now I'm going to have nightmares about that scenario. *shivers* I hate it when I scare myself.

	Wonder Woman hasn't been doing too great lately. (The numbers went under 30,000 for the first time in a while.) The clear answer is to put Greg Rucka back on the title. Hey, a guy can dream. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, man, I wish. I so wish. I do love Gail, but Rucka writes my favorite Wonder Woman. (And if Gail wasn't writing WW, maybe we could get her to write a Black Canary/Oracle/Huntress series?[/wishful thinking]) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, no, no, leave Simone on Wonder Woman. I haven't finished my schadenfreude yet. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	put Greg Rucka back on the title. Wouldn't that be the clear answer to most everything? I vote for getting half the DCU written by Greg Rucka. (Reply to this) (Parent)
