DC Comics Announces the "Second Wave" of "The New 52"

Shame about Hawk and Dove :(

As much as I love the idea of adding more to the DCnU, I am not a fan of them cancelling the titles to add more. I hope that these add a true new depth and feel to the DC lineup.

Damn it, I knew Static would be getting the boot. Such a shame, I really like that character.

China Miéville is one of my favourite authors ever and furthermore, he is the flagship writer of the New Weird movement.

On the other hand, I'm almost crying because of O.M.A.C.s cancellation. It was so much fun... And Blackhawks started to get really interesting too. Why can't they keep previous titles anyway?

Mr. Terrific just didn't get the right writer, what a waste

Good news for Power Girl fans!

So they're dropping Men of War and adding GI Combat? Seems a little odd, why not just change the existing book?

Is another Batman title what they need? Batman has to be closing in on a fifth of their whole production!

Totally called Hawk and Dove getting cancelled. Batman Inc. will be awesome. They should have had it in the New 52 from the get go.

The Ravagers sounds exactly like Teen Titans ._.

Two good news for me in this news, the return of the queen powergirl. Some good moment and laugh in the futur witht this.

And the end of Static Shock which was very bad in my opinion.

Only bad news is OMAC, the main reason must be that this title is really slow, in 5 issue we still know nothing about the plot or the different characters.

Not really surprised about the comics getting cancelled. But the new ones seem interesting.

we don't know yet if it's gonna be a ongoing or a maxi.

@Adnan: Lobdell isn't writing RAVAGERS. Mackie is. I'm totally digging TEEN TITANS but not so sure about this one. They'll have to sell me. Then again, if Rose Wilson is in the book...

@Roldan: These are all ongoing. They're replacing the six getting canceled. The miniseries that have come out don't sport the New 52 logo.

only new titles that appeals to me is earth 2 (love the whole heroes that our heroes looked up to concept)

world's finest (a female spin on the old batman and superman team-up) and dial h (hope it still has the different power/hero concept)

only title I'm sad to see go : static , everything else bored me or just completely sucked

OMG! It's official!!!! Power Girl will be back in May!!! :))

@G-Man:I'm not too sure how I misread that. Thanks for correcting me!

The fact that we're getting more Batman, Inc. is awesome; I really want to see the concept flourish.

I still can't believe that O.M.A.C. just got cancelled, especially after Scott Koblish's words which sounded really assuring.

Only title I'm losing is Static. Hopefully we'll see him in the Teen Titans again.

Well of the things that got cut I was only reading O.M.A.C, shame to see that go, but I'm pumped for Earth-2 and The Ravagers sounds really interesting.

Where is Red Robin? Stop letting Lodbell screw him up in Teen Titans and give Fabian or someone else with talent the series!

Okay, enough fanboy. Sad to see Men of War go. Kinda had hopes for Static too. I'm glad to see Batman Incorporated making a return. I thought that was one of the more exciting innovations in the Bat-verse. Other than that, all the new series seem like they are coming out of left field. Who was asking for more stories about the Haunted Tank? Really?

I would be surprise if Hawk and Dove wouldn't be cancelled,I didn't read the other titles but most of people also say they are bad.

Even if there's a new Batman title,it's good to see Morrison writing him again.Also good too see is the return of Earth 2 and Power Girl.And I agree that Ravagers sound exactly like the current run on Teen Titans,I expected something more original.

I was getting Blackhawks and was enjoying. I'm sad to see all of these titles go, but I'm super happy to have all of these new titles coming. I'm going to try them all because they are just six. Not 52 new series. 

Dial H certainly does not sound like it should be a mainline DC book. Way more like a Vertigo title. But you could still say that about Animal Man and Swamp Thing. It's more like Vertigo is books with less press. I've read some great China Miville. I've also read Iron Council, which is one the worst pieces of garbage I've seen in years. The man does always have amazing ideas, so given the constraints of comics, maybe he won't sprawl as much as he is prone to.

I can't believe they're canceling Blackhawks and starting ANOTHER war comic. Do people still read these? Is it 1945?

Another Batman title? GOD!! Can't believe DC has begun flooding the market now!!

Mr. Terrific cancelled? That's a shame.

Gonna miss Mr. Terrific and I guess Static, but the rest were just not going anywhere...

When does the actual drop happen?  DC is still showing a few of these being released in the coming months.  Are they dropped right away or do story arcs get to be finished?

Even though I got them for the sake of completion, I have never read a single issue of Static Shock or Mister Terrific. I'm sad to see Hawk And Dove get the boot, but I definitely won't miss Liefeld's art. I'm on the fence about O.M.A.C. Kirby's original has always been near and dear to my heart and I'm always glad to have something around and with Giffen on art...but, I wasn't crazy about this take (or the previous one). All that alliteration was getting on my last nerve. Blackhawks and Men Of War were just >meh< to me.

I'm not surprised there's another Batman title. If it's more like Teen Titans Spotlight and showcases the different members, that could be good...otherwise, it should have replaced Batwing. Earth 2 and World's Finest are making me drool like the fanboy I used to be in the good ol' days. Dial H (another near and dear fav) is definitely touch and go. G.I. Combat...another war comic that I'll get, but won't really care about (unless they do something with G.I. Robot). The Ravagers...>meh< >yawn<...we'll see...

World's Finest does sound interesting. And I will read Earth 2, but why not just call it Justice Society? But a return of Wildcat sounds pretty sweet. Enjoyed the first few issues of Blackhawks, but it started to turn into a knock off of GI Joe and not at all what the Blackhawks stood for, and the only person I knew reading Static dropped it after 2 issues.

Ugh. OMAC was fun and Men of War was fantastic. And Blackhawks was damn good too.
 
I'm bummed to see Static go only because I was hoping we'd have time to see a better writer come on. 
 
Mister Terrific and Hawk and Dove sadly deserve the boot, so Im happy to see them go. 
 
But seriously? Ravagers? "Four teen heroes on the run from an organization that wants to turn them into villains?" With Teen Titans, isn't that just stupidly redundant? I mean, it could be good, but still.... 
 
And G.I. Combat sounds 90% like Men of War with a different title. Why couldn't we just keep Men of War? 
 
Of course the continuation of Batman Inc. will be good, Dial H sounds like it has potential, and Earth 2 should be a fan pleaser especially with Robinson and Scott. 
 
World's Finest sounds kind of.... eh.

They should've canceled Demon Knights over Men of War, Men of War was one of the best ongoing!

@The Mighty Monarch: Cause GI Combat sounds cooler than Men of War.

Ravengers? Why does the description of this team sound SO much like Gen 13? I wonder if this is another attempt to bring WildStorm into the DCnU. If so, I am interesed how they play this off. More interested if it shows existing characters with new twists or new characters not in cookie cutter fashion.

The only one I'm saddened by is Static Shock, but by all accounts is wasn't very good, so I can't say I'm surprised.

I guess the JSA book is going to be an ongoing. It and Batman Inc. are what I'm most excited for, I think.

i had already stopped reading all the titles that are getting dropped, but i guess i was hoping for writer/direction changes on Static and Terrific to turn them around rather than cancellation...
 
Looking forward to Earth-2 titles!

What about the Shazam title?
They should have replaced Batman: The Dark Knight with Batman Inc.
This will be a sad day for both Static Shocks (the mod and the title/character)

I'll never understand why people call Ravager Ravenger?@The Mighty Monarch said:

@entropy_aegis: The description of G.I. Combat is vague to me. What's The War That Time Forgot? How is it supposed to grab my attention, it doesn't really tell me squat unlike the other new series' descriptions. Plus G.I. Combat sounds cheesy, makes me think of G.I. Joe, which isn't necessarily terrible, but implies it won't be as deep and serious as Men of War was. Plus Men of War had the best damn covers. I was invested in Men of War, with G.I. Combat ALL I have to go on is the name, which doesn't inspire much confidence imo.

Yeah I was confused by that myself.

I WANT A NEW SHAZAM COMIC!!! when will DC launch a NEW SHAZAM BOOK!

Not reading any of these.... phew gotta say though, not crazy about the parrallel universe junk...

wasn't surprsied by this

@The Mighty Monarch:

Cool.

@RazzaTazz: They said these series are ending in April, after their 8th issues. The solicits are only up to #7 so far.

Replacing two war comics with another seems kinda odd to me.

And Ravagers...isn't that the same synopsis that TT and Superboy is working from atm? Same thing really with Dial H going on the same track as Captain Atom.

Almost exactly what I wanted.

Earth-2 Huntress in World's Finest with Power Girl, a return of DC's classic war heroes, and Rose Wilson and Fairchild plus two others in a GEN 13ish teen team book.

Three of my pull list titles are cancelled, but I will be picking up all six new ones.

Thank you for reading my posts DC.

Dissapointed that both Men of War and Blackhawks are getting cancelled.
