11* Gail Simone being named as the writer for ''Franchise/WonderWoman''.
12** "Gail's off the book now? Dammit... oh, well, [[{{Pun}} wonder]] who the new writer's gonna be? ''Creator/JMichaelStraczynski?'' YES!"[[note]]This, however, was undone by the actual story he wrote...[[/note]]
13** DC is going to put out a new digital comic about Wonder Woman called ''ComicBook/SensationComicsFeaturingWonderWoman''. And the writer of the first story arc... '''Gail Simone'''. And, wait, hold on, the preview mentions "ComicBook/{{Oracle}}," so it must take place pre-New 52!
14** ComicBook/SecretSix is returning!
15* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}: The Return of Bruce Wayne''. Batman, fighting his way through ''all of history'', with the first edition being illustrated by Chris Sprouse and written by Creator/GrantMorrison. Epic. Win.
16* The existence of the Jason Rusch run of ''ComicBook/FirestormDCComics'' was full of these, having reappearances by the supporting cast of the Ronnie Raymond days, including: Firehawk, Pohzar/Mikhail Arkadin, and several of the original Firestorm villains (Killer Frost, Multiplex, Typhoon, even Cliff "Thinker" Carmichael). Raymond even came back from the dead in a story arc, and eventually Rusch would be joined by Martin Stein himself to form Firestorm. In one issue, Rusch even makes a veiled fourth wall reference to the fandom rejoicing in his book, as he comments about how he fashioned his costume to look more like the "classic" Firestorm design.
17* The [[Creator/MilestoneComics Milestone Characters]] becoming integrated into DC Canon.
18* Okay, so DC is putting out one last issue of several long-cancelled titles to "resurrect them" as a tie-in to ComicBook/BlackestNight. Sounds like a crossover stunt to- holy shit Ostrander and Simone are working together on a ComicBook/{{Secret Six}}[=/=]ComicBook/{{Suicide Squad}} team-up, and O'Neil and Cowan are doing ComicBook/{{the Question}}!
19* Oh [[ComicBook/{{Impulse}} Bart Allen]] is back... ''And he's back to his old personality?!''
20* Man I miss the DCAU... Wait. ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' will be integrated into the DC canon '''and''' [[WesternAnimation/StaticShock Static]] is getting [[Comicbook/{{Static}} a new comic]]? [[{{Squee}} Excuse me for a moment, I'll be right back after geeking out!]]
21** Yeah, except the former is being written by Adam Beechen, aka the guy who derailed Cassandra Cain. Still, he was a great animation writer so this may actually be up his alley.
22* Many [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl 2000}} Cassandra Cain]] fans were rejoicing when she returned in ''Batman Incorporated'' #6 as '''Blackbat'''!
23** Even moreso since before that, [[SuperDickery it looked like she had gone evil again and was going to fight Tim in an issue of Red Robin.]] Then it was announced she would play a part in the Gates of Gotham mini. The second issue even teams her up with Damian!
24* Recent news of the massive reboot of the Franchise/DCUniverse has been met with [[BrokenBase predictable reactions]], but there are a few things that couldn't get more warmth:
25** ComicBook/BlueBeetle getting new ongoing!
26** ComicBook/ResurrectionMan series written by his original creators, Creator/DanAbnett and Andy Lanning of ''Comicbook/{{Nova}}'' and ''Comicbook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' fame!
27** Demon Knights - ComicBook/{{Etrigan}} series in the Middle Ages, by Creator/PaulCornell? [[{{Pun}} Hell yes]]!
28** [[ComicBook/SevenSoldiers Frankenstein]]: [[ComicBook/FrankensteinAgentOfShade Agent Of S.H.A.D.E.]]!
29** Comicbook/{{Aquaman}} is getting a new ongoing series written by Creator/GeoffJohns and drawn by Ivan Reis, the team behind ''Green Lantern: Secret Origin''.
30** '''Creator/{{Grant Morrison}} is writing Action Comics!'''
31** [[WritingForTheTrade The six-issue arc format]] is no longer being enforced. Writers now have the freedom to decide the length of their own stories, they no longer have to [[DecompressedComic pad out four issues of story to fill six issues.]]
32** The realization that Eric Wallace's run on ''[[ComicBook/Titans2010 Titans]]'' is going to be cancelled after August's issue, a run that immediately got off to the wrong start with the death of Ryan Choi and proceeded to get worse as it went on.
33** James Robinson's writing a 12-issue series focused on [[Comicbook/{{Starman}} The Shade]]! Woopwoopwoopwoop!
34** ComicBook/TheAtom being on the Justice League was met with a fairly average response, until at San Diego Comic Con, Jim Lee dropped ''strong'' hints that it's Ryan Choi ([[DroppedABridgeOnHim who many feel was unjustly killed at the start of the aforementioned Titans book]]) behind the mask...
35** Creator/ScottSnyder on Franchise/{{Batman}}! Kyle Higgins on Nightwing!
36** Comicbook/AnimalMan and Comicbook/SwampThing getting their own ongoings? Yes! They quickly turn out to be among the best series of the entire relaunch? Double yes!
37* An issue of The All New WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold with all the Robins, including Stephanie and [[Comicbook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns Carrie]]? Yes!
38** Stephanie Brown's Batman Inc issue will be in Leviathan Strikes, by Creator/GrantMorrison and Cameron Stewart!
39** Stephanie Brown is ''Batgirl'' in 'Leviathan Strikes'!
40* ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'' prequel, by Creator/NeilGaiman, with JH Williams doing the art for the 25th anniversary in 2013.
41* There's going to be a New 52 Earth 2? Let's just see how they manage to screw it up.... They got James Robinson to write it?! And it features completely different origins for the heroes?!
42** Earth 2 was great, but now James is leaving, it's going to crash and... Oh hey, Tom Taylor!
43*** Yeah, but still not so sur... wait, Nicola Scott is staying on? Okay!
44* Hmm, ''ComicBook/TrinityWar'' is neat so far, and Forever Evil looks decent, but how can they really... The Crime Syndicate of America? Ultraman, Owlman, Superwoman, Powerring and... ''Deathstorm''!? Lex and Ultraman in battle... Black Adam and Ultra Man... Take my money, DC, take all of it!
45* Man, the Superman titles haven't been doing all that well (Bar Morrison's run on Action Comics), it says something when Lobdell is the best writer in the family. Wait, a Superman title done by Creator/ScottSnyder? Nice, but it seems to be sort of on its own, so does that really... [[ComicBook/WorldWarHulk Greg Pak]] is writing a Batman-Superman series and Action Comics? Hell yeah.
46** Now that Scott Lobdell is gone with the main Superman title, I just hope they get anyone better to- Creator/GeoffJohns is the new writer? ''Hell yeah.''
47*** Aaaaaand Johns has left the title in less then a year. That stinks. Who're they going to put on nex--'''[[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Gene Luen Yang]]'''!
48* The New 52 is still missing a ton of characters, and the fans won't be happy until they all appear, but with all the changes can they even all...? Wait, who was ComicBook/LexLuthor talking to in Comicbook/ForeverEvil2013? [[ComicBook/BlueBeetle Thomas Kord, the father of Ted Kord?]]. And it's written by Geoff Johns, the [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] lover — this is promising, very promising.
49** Better yet, Johns [[spoiler: confirms that Ted Kord is coming back!]]
50* Ah, New York Comic Con; a perfect time to find out little tidbits that just get the fans to rejoice, wonder what gets posted first. Hmm, a weekly Batman title? Okay, there is such thing as too much Batman you know. Wait, did Snyder just say [[spoiler: «Stephanie Brown»]]?
51* So, the Flash is getting a creative team that is on par with his old one? Nice, but what sort of things will be put on the table? [[spoiler: Oh God. Wally West is returning!]]
52* You know, Green Lantern was so good, particularly the last issue under Creator/GeoffJohns, however I wonder if we are ever going to see any of this fu.....Wait, we'll see the fabled Jessica Cruz in Justice League? And she'll have Power Ring's ring!?
53* Ambush Bug is going to be in a short story in the Convergence crossover. ''Rejoice!''
54* So, ComicBook/BatmanEternal is getting a sequel focusing on the Robins. Well, okay. Eternal was really good and the creative team seems go--wait, did you say [[spoiler: «Cassandra Cain»]]?
55* Alright. Fine. This whole Rebirth thing is finally getting revealed. [[Music/PinkFloyd Another reboot in the wa]]- Wait? It's ''not'' a reboot. The Birds of Prey are getting a new series. So are Teen Titans. Dick Grayson is Nightwing again! ComicBook/BatmanBeyond is getting a new book! Ted Kord is teaming up with Jamie Reyes! '''Batman and Batwoman are teaming up with Stephanie Brown, Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain and Clayface!''' '''PRE-FLASHPOINT SUPERMAN IS BACK!'''
56** AND SO IS [[spoiler: PRE-FLASHPOINT WALLY WEST]]! Thank you, Mr. Johns! Thank you!
57** And [[spoiler: Kaldur'ahm/Jackson Hyde]]! They remember [[spoiler: he]] exists!
58* The Comicbook/FantasticFour fandom's displeasure with Marvel's [[ExecutiveMeddling current disinterest]] with the team found a reason to cheer when DC announced [[AlternateCompanyEquivalent their own Super Quartet]] ComicBook/TheTerrifics, with the team consisting of Mr. Terrific, ComicBook/PlasticMan, ComicBook/{{Metamorpho}}, and [[UnexpectedCharacter surprisingly]] [[ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes Phantom Girl]].
59* DC released a preview of the new Justice League lineup following the conclusion of ''ComicBook/DarkNightsMetal''... and [[spoiler:Martian Manhunter]] is finally back in the main lineup!
60** [[ComicBook/DarkNightsDeathMetal The sequel event]] is fun as far as "AfterTheEnd leading to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong" stories go, especially for the focus it's giving long-suffering fan-favourite ComicBook/WallyWest, but then ''Speed Metal'' has Wally West '''retake his position as the lead Flash''' and ''brings back his 90s suit''! HesBack indeed! It's essentially the Flash equivalent of ''ComicBook/GreenLanternRebirth'', even moreso than the ''actual'' Flash ''Rebirth'' story!
61** Even better, after ''ComicBook/DCFutureState'' provided a less-than-pleasing premise of a future where Wally is corrupted by the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the slate for ''ComicBook/DCInfiniteFrontier'' presented that [[ComicBook/TheFlashInfiniteFrontier the Flash book going forward]] would start with a story focused entirely about Wally West, with the indication that, moving forward, he and Barry will be given much fairer balance of respect. We've seen this before, but with Dan [=DiDio=] gone, there's reason to actually believe this ''sticking''. Helping this is the 2021 Annual, revealing [[spoiler:Wally was innocent all along; the true cause of the explosion was Savitar trying to take control of the Speed Force.]]
62* ''ComicBook/WonderWomanHistoriaTheAmazons'': A significant chunk of Wonder Woman fans were happy when it was [[WordOfGod confirmed]] by writer Creator/KellySueDeconnick and Gene Ha, artist on the second issue, that Zeus would ''not'' be Diana's father, [[BrokenBase a huge point of contention in WW fandom]] since it was first introduced in [[ComicBook/WonderWoman2011 2011]].
63[[/folder]]

65[[folder: Marvel Comics]]
66* When Brian K. Vaughan announced his departure from ''Comicbook/{{Runaways}}'', there was much speculation as to who the "worthy replacement" he promised could possibly be. It turned out to be Creator/JossWhedon. Unfortunately, Whedon's ''Runaways'' arc was not terribly popular with fans. But at the time, it sure shut up complaints. His replacement Terry Moore on the other hand was more of a QuestionableCasting moment, though.
67** And yet again with Kathryn Immonen (writer of the Hellcat mini).
68* The disastrous CrisisCrossover event, ''ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}'', caused many fans to quit ComicBook/UltimateMarvel until Marvel announced an Ultimate ''ComicBook/IronMan'' miniseries, written by Creator/WarrenEllis, and an ''Ultimate Avengers'' series written by Creator/MarkMillar.
69* ComicBook/TheSentry, a CreatorsPet who gets NewPowersAsThePlotDemands is killed during ''ComicBook/{{Siege}}''. What's funny is that everyone in the Marvel U is sad because they all loved him, and most fans couldn't stop dancing on his grave. Made even better by the ending of the miniseries itself.
70-->'''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica:''' (''implied to be talking with UsefulNotes/BarackObama'') But... I'm going to want to do it my way.\
71(next page) '''SUPERHUMAN REGISTRATION ACT THROWN OUT -- Steve Rogers AKA Captain America replaces Norman Osborn as America's Top Cop'''\
72(final panel) '''Captain America:''' ... because I'm going to need [[ComicBook/TheAvengers all of you]] for what comes next.
73* [[Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja Chris Hastings]] is going to be the writer of a new ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'' miniseries. We can only dream of what will ensue.
74* In [[ComicBook/XForce Uncanny X-Force]], Psylocke, Deadpool and Fantomex join the team. And the team will eventually go into the ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse universe! Yeah, baby!
75* Marvel is [[http://blog.newsarama.com/2011/06/03/brevoort-marvelman-is-still-coming-honest/ ''finally'' getting around to publishing]] the ComicBook/MiracleMan stories from Creator/AlanMoore and Creator/NeilGaiman? About damn time... Wait a minute, they're getting Neil Gaiman to come back and finish his story arc? Surely a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Marvel.
76* The announcement that Creator/BrianMichaelBendis will be wrapping up the Avengers story he's building up at 2012 '''and''' retiring his position as the head writer are met with much rejoicing.
77* Creator/EdBrubaker resurrecting Bucky (one time sidekick to ComicBook/CaptainAmerica) was so popular, that news of his death in the pages of ''ComicBook/FearItself'' angered fans. That anger turned into rejoicing after it was revealed in a post-event comic that Bucky [[FakingTheDead didn't die]] and that he's going to star in a "Winter Soldier" on-going written by Brubaker starting in January 2012.
78* ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' fans lamented the show getting canceled before ComicBook/ScarletWitch and ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} could become Avengers, or even guest star. Fortunately, one issue of [[ComicBook/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes the comics]] has them.
79* As for ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'', there's ''ComicBook/AvengersTheChildrensCrusade''. Full stop. Basically a series that exists simply to outright overturn the much hated ''ComicBook/AvengersDisassembled'' storyline as well as allowing Allan Heinberg to finish the storylines he was banned from doing in Young Avengers (confirming Wiccan and Speed as Scarlet Witch and Vision's kids and bringing back Scott Lang, which was foreshadowed at the end of Heinberg's first Young Avengers arc).
80* Dan Slott taking over ''ComicBook/MightyAvengers''.
81* Creator/WarrenEllis' brief run on ''ComicBook/SecretAvengers'', which was basically ''ComicBook/GlobalFrequency'' Volume 2.
82* Writers under Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso seem to be making a habit of tacitly undoing many of the more unpopular creative decisions made by Alonso's predecessor Creator/JoeQuesada. We have ''Children's Crusade'' and the end of Bendis's ''Avengers'' mentioned above, as well as ''Spider Island'' where, in addition to the aforementioned breakup with Carlie, the [[AWizardDidIt magic spell that prevented anyone from learning Peter's identity]] is undone and Mary Jane admits she's still in love with Peter (although not to his face, unfortunately) after she of all characters had been repeatedly used as a ShipperOnDeck for Peter and Carlie. Also, ''Comicbook/AvengersVsXMen'' issue 9 torpedoes [[spoiler: the [[StrangledByTheRedString much-maligned]] ComicBook/BlackPanther[=/=]ComicBook/{{Storm}} [[TokenRomance marriage]]]] with a single throwaway line, and {{foreshadowing}} within the same storyline seems to indicate that [[ComicBook/HouseOfM the Decimation]] and possibly the Cyclops/White Queen relationship may be on their way out, too.
83** ''Consequences'', the Post-AVX mini, exploring Cyclops' side in the whole situation, setting up a new Status Quo for him, and basically establish that he really wasn't a villain, but a victim of circumstance? '''Yes!''' Wolverine getting called out on his hypocritical bullshit? '''DOUBLE YES!'''
84* When it was announced that Kieron Gillen was leaving ''ComicBook/JourneyIntoMysteryGillen'' come October 2012, there was much fear that [[BreakoutCharacter Kid Loki]] was finally going to die and that the [[StatusQuoIsGod status quo would be unfortunately restored]]. However, previews for Marvel NOW show that Gillen will be writing a story with Kid Loki, Wiccan, and Miss America. Then [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=41352 this]] came out and showed that perhaps Kid Loki's adventures are [[ComicBook/YoungAvengers not quite over yet]]...
85** Then "Journey into Mystery" #645 came out, and there much less rejoicing after that.
86*** ''Then'' issue #1 came out, and the fandom rejoiced all over again!
87* ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} getting [[ComicBook/Hawkeye2012 his own ongoing]], written by Matt Fraction and art by David Aja? OK, that's pretty cool but-*Reads first few issues* Marvel, take my money. Now.
88** And Kate Bishop, the second Hawkeye is basically a second lead character? And she's getting an annual focusing on her?! Take even more of my money!
89* ''ComicBook/SecretAvengers'' coming to an end? That sucks-wait, its being relaunched, and will add Phil Coulson, Daisy Johnson, Mockingbird, and Taskmaster to the team!? So what if the story behind the team doesn't sound great, its got Taskmaster!
90** Wait, they're actually getting consent to suppress the team's memories of the missions, and they still feel bad about it? Sold!
91* ''A+X'' isn't really notable, though fairly enjoyable, besides being a team up book that has a rotating artist and writer for every issue...then they announced they were going to do a multiple part story. OK, that doesn't sound too...The story is going to be about Captain America and Cyclops teaming up, meaning that they may finally resolve their differences? Fuck. Yes.
92* Marvel released a teaser for their post-''Infinity'' status quo. Pfft, they did that for Comicbook/MarvelNOW, so what... Is that [[spoiler: The Amazing Spider-Man? No, I mean ''' ''The'' Amazing Spider-Man?''' He's back? You gotta be... Is that '''[[EnsembleDarkhorse Nightcrawler]]'''? Two of Marvel's most popular characters are comic back after being killed off?]] Ladies, gents, we can officially {{Squee}}
93* Oh man, Comicbook/MarvelNOW is so obviously [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse movie]] and [[ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan Superior]] dominated it is sort of sicken- Wait, a series of all X-Men girls? Hmm, sort of gimm- Creator/BrianWood?! Better, though Storm is still in that weird new... [[spoiler: ''Jubilee! Jubilee is back!'']]
94* Battle of the Atom. Another event, seriously? Sure, it's not taking over ''all'' the books, but it is written by Bendis and Aaron — yuck, there is no way that can be any good. X-Men from the future, hasn't that been done to death, and what the hell with some of these guys; Deadpool isn't an X-Men, Beast's redesign is hideous, and no one really likes him at the moment, an Ice Hulk is the worse idea for a character since Red H... wait, one of the future X-Men is [[EnsembleDarkhorse Molly]] [[BadassAdorable Hayes]], and SheIsAllGrownUp! Maybe it might be a decent read.
95* Now for Marvel Comic Con 2013, what sort of interesting stuff are we getting on the other side? Blah blah Inhumans, blah blah Avengers, blah blah [[spoiler: She Hulk ongoing and Ghost Rider in the Thunderbolts]] wait, what was that last one?
96* Oh look, more ComicBook/MarvelNOW release-Wait, [[UnexpectedCharacter Doop]] is getting a series?!
97* Cyclops and Storm receiving their own solo series? Enough said.
98* Creator/ChristopherYost and Creator/CraigKyle are taking over ''ComicBook/AmazingXMen''?
99* Matt Fraction and David Aja's run on ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} is ending. It's just a matter of time before it relaunches with a new creative team and it's...Creator/JeffLemire! With Ramon Perez on art!
100* ''ComicBook/{{AXIS}}'' has not been that well received. What? [[ComicBook/AntMan Scott Lang]] is getting an ongoing after? Well that's not ba- [[spoiler: '''[[ComicBook/YoungAvengers Cassie]] is being brought back]]?!'''
101** And then after Secret Wars, Cassie was repowered - as [[ComicBook/MarvelComics2 Stinger]].
102* So, SHIELD is celebrating a big milestone, and Marvel are capitalizing by releasing several one-shots about the most prominent agents? Oh, so, more [[WolverinePublicity MCU pandering]] then with Samuel L Jackson's Fury and Coulson-wait, Coulson ''isn't'' one of the agents focused on, and the Fury issue is a team-up between old and new Furys AND featuring Dum Dum Dugan? And the other oneshots include [[Series/AgentCarter Peggy Carter]], [[ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}} Bobbi Morse]], [[Series/AgentsOfSHIELD Melinda May]], and [[ComicBook/SecretWarriors Daisy Johnson]]? Each one is either an EnsembleDarkhorse, a BreakoutCharacter, or FanFavourite, and they are ''all'' getting oneshots? Sold! [[note]]And that's without getting into the rumour that this is a test run for bigger projects featuring some of these ladies[[/note]]
103** And now Bobbi is getting her own ongoing thanks to the success of that? Way to earn brownie points, Marvel.
104* ComicBook/MarvelNOW2016: ComicBook/{{Nova}} new #1? Starring Richard Rider? And Silk meets Mattie Franklin, aka ComicBook/SpiderWoman III? They both are BackFromTheDead!
105* ComicBook/MarvelLegacy: You know who else is back from the dead? [[spoiler:'''''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}},'' bubs.''']]
106** And not just him either. [[spoiler:After being missing in action for way too long, the first family of the Marvel Universe finally makes it comeback! That's right folks! The [[{{Pun}} four]] and only ComicBook/FantasticFour are back in action!]]
107* Marvel teased Donny Cates' post-''[[ComicBook/InfinityWars2018 Infinity Wars]]'' ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' with [[https://terrigen-cdn-dev.marvel.com/content/prod/1x/GOTGPromo_Spread_0.jpg this image]], featuring every major character to have played a role in Marvel's cosmic sagas since 2006, with an aesthetic similar to that of Abnett and Lanning's beloved run on the comic. But even better was ''[[https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/six-of-these-characters-will-be-the-new-guardians-of-the-galaxy this]]'' image, featuring eleven of those characters, six of whom will go on to form the new team. There's Star-Lord, Groot, Adam Warlock... hang on, Cosmic Ghost Rider? Beta Ray Bill? ''Silver Surfer?'' '''''Moondragon? Darkhawk?''''' '''''PHYLA-VELL?''''' Looks like this new series won't be taking its cues from the films, but going in a completely different direction altogether!
108* So ''ComicBook/AbsoluteCarnage'' has just ended, and what an insane tale it was. [[spoiler:Venom's stronger than ever, Knull has awakened, The Maker has [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate Venom]] in his disposal--'''Ultimate Venom?! Are we gonna see Venom vs. Venom action here?!''']]

113* There's a new Franchise/{{Godzilla}} comic series out. Ho-hum, same old cheesy battles against monsters no one cares abou- Is that Mothra on the cover? And Anguirus too? This is going to be awesome!
114** Well, the covers are probably going to look cra- [[http://www.tohokingdom.com/comics/images/idw_godzilla_gag1_covere.htm Awesome!]]
115** Godzilla Legends? Okay, I don't see why- wait, Anguirus fighting Destoroyah? An entire issue dedicated to Rodan? The [[spoiler:Simeons]]? [[spoiler:Retro-style Mecha-Godzilla]]? Miki Saegusa? Matt Frank doing the interiors for the first issue? SWEEET! Art Adams, Bob Eggleton and Chris Scalf doing the covers for the first time since the Dark Horse Godzilla comics doesn't hurt either.
116** James Stokoe [[spoiler: (Orc Stain)]] doing Godzilla comics. Don't let me repeat that.
117** In Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, [[spoiler: Space Godzilla]]. In Godzilla Ongoing, [[spoiler: Mothra, Kiryu and Gigan]].
118** IDW has gained rights for 20+ monsters including [[Film/WarOfTheGargantuas Sanda, Gaira]], Megaguirus, Moguera, [[Film/EbirahHorrorOfTheDeep Ebirah]], Megalon and Jet Jaguar. Let me repeat that, [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Jet. Jaguar. Is. Going. To. Make. An. Appearance. In. Comics. For. The. First. Time]].
119** As of November 21st: Biollante.
120** It gets even better. Two words: Monster. X.
121** Godzilla: Rulers of the Earth. They are bringing in [[Film/VaranTheUnbelievable Varan]], Destoroyah and, possibly, Gorosaurus.
122** '''Even better, Matt Frank is doing the interiors! Nerdgasm!'''
123** The first monster that Godzilla is fighting is [[spoiler: Zilla]]? [[BigWHAT WHAAAAAAAAT!?]] Wait, [[spoiler: he's going to just be another monster? They're going to have an actual fight?]] This. Might. Just. Work.
124** Some new pictures have arrived as concept art.

126*** Wait, what's [[http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/136/8/6/g_roe__2color_small__by_zornow-d65hut8.jpg this]]? Orga?

142** Just when it seemed that the miniseries was TooGoodToLast, an unexpected solicitation for a follow-up called ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures Continued!'' came up on February 2023, showing that it became an ongoing series after all.
143* So, IDW's first big crossover for [[ComicBook/GodzillaIDWPublishing Godzilla]] is with...''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers''!? That can only mean one thing: [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny Godzilla Vs. the Dragonzord]]!

147* The facts were these. ''Series/PushingDaisies'' had met [[ScrewedByTheNetwork an unfortunate demise at the hands of an apathetic network after suffering in its first season thanks to the writer's strike]], meaning that the much awaited «Ned vs. zombies» plotline would indeed never happen and many loose threads would, alas, remain lose. But then, as though gifted with the piemaker's touch, Warner Brothers production company resurrected the program by gaving the okay to one Creator/BryanFuller to recruit three of the show's other writers to continue the story in comic form, and series composer Jim Dooley to release a companion soundtrack. Said books are due to be released sometime this year. At this very moment, nine million, four-hundred and sixty thousand nerds are punching their fists in the air.
148* Thanks to Creator/ArchieComics, we have this: [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Sonic]] and [[ComicBook/MegaManArchieComics Mega Man]] [[IntercontinuityCrossover crossing over]]. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis For. The. First. Time.]]
149** Oh, they're making another one? Yawn. Hmm, new teaser pic. Is that Sticks the Badger and Mega Man X? And ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' is getting involved in this, too?!
150*** Then, [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-koBjTB1NWUY/VOuvzMk_aoI/AAAAAAAATFU/PYlaOTHVyys/s1600/worldsu.jpg this image]] came out. It's getting bigger, folks!
151* RuleSixtyThree '''Archie'''?! Done by Gisele Lagace[[note]]known for ''Webcomic/MenageA3'', ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'', ''Webcomic/MagickChicks'', and ''Webcomic/EerieCuties''[[/note]] and guest starring ComicBook/{{Sabrina|TheTeenageWitch}}?! [[http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/3914239.html Strange things happenin' in Riverdale...]]
152** If you told someone a few years ago that Archie would make a comic about zombies they'd laugh. Not so much now that ComicBook/AfterlifeWithArchie is a thing.
153** Sabrina is back and she's darker than ever, thanks to ''ComicBook/ChillingAdventuresOfSabrina''. Even Sabrina having a bob again in her Archie cameos (after years of swaying styles) made fans hyped.
154* Many fans of the TV show ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' were pleased with [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=46660 this]] announcement.
155* Did you guys miss the ''ComicBook/DarkwingDuck'' series by BOOM Comics? [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=56533 It's coming back]], courtesy of new company Joe Books.
156* The ''ComicBook/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' comics have been hit and miss with most fans; season 8 is almost universally hated while season 9 was a dead bore. Then season 10 came along. Look up some reviews. Almost everyone is saying that ''finally'', we've got some comics that actually feel like they're set in the Buffyverse.
157** [[http://soulfulspikethekiller.tumblr.com/post/111360686523/buffy-spoilers This]]. The brains of [[spoiler: Spuffy]] fans across the globe promptly exploded.
158* ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'':
159** The second series ended in 2002, with the reboot being seen negatively. Looked like the fans will never see how the series ends, or the various open plotlines concluded... And then, in 2014, the miniseries "Might and Power" started a new era of PKNA stories.
160*** The start of the second series informed the fans that [[spoiler:One had been deactivated]], with many thinking [[spoiler:it had actually been erased]]. At the end of "Might and Power" they were treated to [[spoiler:Everett Ducklair reactivating One]].
161** Most PKNA loved ''ComicBook/DoubleDuck'' and [[ContinuityCameo the various mentions of PKNA events]]. They would really like to see a {{Crossover}}, but what are the chances? [[http://www.fumettologica.it/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/topolino3153-670x897.jpg Pretty good]].
162* ''{{Series/Firefly}}'' is getting comics? And Zoe is pregnant with poor, late Wash’s baby? Yes!
