DC announces their plans to revive some of their classic stories!

The Power of Shazam #48 - Eric Wallace
Catwoman #83 - Fabian Nicieza
Suicide Squad #67 - Gail Simone & John Ostrander
The Question #37 - Greg Rucka
Phantom Stranger #42 - Peter Tomasi
Weird Western Tales #71 - Dan DiDio
Atom and Hawkman #46 - Geoff Johns
Starman #81 - James Robinson

" @Emperor Gonzo Noir: Ohhh okay. That makes me feel much better :D   I <3 STARMAN! AND JAMES IS WRITING! SO EXCITED. "

I'm looking forward to Catwoman, Starman, and Suicide Squad the most but I'll definitely read all of them 
 
does this make me famous now?

now if they took out weird western tales and perhaps put in Man of Steel that would be cool, Cause I cant get enough of Supes stories. And as much as I am loving New Krypton I will be quite happy when Superman is back in Metropolis where he belongs.

I am really excited that James robinson is writing Starman. I think (I hope) it will either be David or Ted. I could see it being "Talking With David 2010". David Knight (SPOILER ALERT: by way of Jim Corrigan) really was the window into the dead of the Golden Age and the JSA. Unless it ties more into Weird War Tales with Scalphunter and the O'dares - then it would be a Tale of Times Past. Either one would be infinitely cool. It's a shame that Jack Knight is still happily retired. (Damn it!)

I thought this was a neat announcement, and a great way to give the Blackest Night team a break and still reward the readers.  
 
Only, like many, I wish more of the original creative teams could've been included -- Ordway on Power of Shazam, and Catwoman with Brubaker and Darwyn Cooke specifically.  
 
And the suggestion of Man of Steel would have been great -- with Louise Simonson and Jon Bogdanove, of course!

Regardless of the numbering, are these relaunches, one-shots, mini-series? Was there any indication how long these will run?

Sounds pretty cool. 
The Question! = yay.

ATOM AND HAWKMAN!!! OMFG YES!!!

STARMAN,QUESTION,PHANTOM STRANGER!!!!

Bruce for White Lantern status!
 
Sort of really enjoying Blackest Night lately. At first I figured it would be DC Zombies, but it's gone a step above that. Good stuff!

Oh *dam*!  SUICIDE SQUAD, STARMAN, and Phantom Stranger two snaps around the wrld

This is such a cool idea, I can't wait for Suicide Squad and Hawkman&Atom.

I can't wait for Suicide Squad =D

SO AWESOME

Are we going to see Vic Sage as a Black  Lantern?! I'll admit, that's something I've been wondering about.

I want to see the Mist Family reunion "

Interesting choice.

This is nice that they are giving the artist time to work on the book, and that they are giving some canceled series a spot light. Seems appropriate as well. When you consider how Blackest Night is reviving so many of the dead. Why not revive some dead series along the ride?
 
This kind of reminds of of in manga sometime there will be a skipped week. Either the whole magazine isn't published that week of a single story. Often times for research or what not. Though that's normally just a week's wait. This in the whole month. Least they had the courtesy to give plenty of notice.
 
Is it just me or does Blackest Night seem to be ending rather abruptly? I know it's months away. Still feels like this has more life in it. (pun unintended)

 Suicide Squad #67
Atom and Hawkman #46 
 
These 2 I definitely buy the rest maybe it depends what's in my folder already.

I love the idea but I'm not sure how the resurrected book will be. I guess I'll find out.

Oh man, can't wait! -mondo spasm-

I'm looking really forward to Catwoman and Phantom Stranger.

The Suicide squad story continues in the secret six that month
