New Justice League of America: “People will ‘wonder what the hell we are doing.'”
Aside from having 52 variant covers for state seal lovers, we haven't talked much about the new JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA book by Geoff Johns and David Finch and how it differs from JUSTICE LEGAUE by Johns and other people. Will it be set in America? Will there be spiders? Is Airwave in the team?

There's the "Death of the Family" crossover that continues running through various Batman titles.

And there are, finally, the Before Watchmen and "digital-first" lines of books, both of which continue to expand in November.
DC housekeeping fallout
Lots of shakeups emerged in yesterday's DC April solicitations, which you can read about here and here. The swift replacement of Robert Venditti on Constantine and Jim Zub on Birds of Prey got the most comment. How swift? As recently as last week , Zub was doing interviews to promote his run and then...it wasn't happening. Zub, widely known as a thorough professional, was very gracious about it on his blog

Turns out Reginald Hudlin is writing the DJANGO UNCHAINED comic
DC's DJANGO UNCHAINED mini series has gotten a lot of press and sales—the first issue was a sell-out, but in all the hoopla we'd always noticed that while it was billed as an adaptation of Quentin Tarantino's screenplay, with art by R.M. Guera and an actual writer was never named. (MOvie scripts don't just adapt themselves.) Well, it turns out, in a publicity blitz last week that now Oscar-nominated producer and long time comics scripter Reginald Hudlin did the actual adapting. The comic is based on the original screenplay and includes many scenes that were cut from the final film, as he told Comics Alliance.

The worst message board posting of all time?
I'd like to think this is a joke....and while I don't like spotlighting trolls, they may be the most appalling and yet hilarious comment on a comics related topic I've read in a while. It comes in Deadline's report on the WB win in the Superman case yesterday, and this poster has it all figured out. I've actually edited the comment a bit to get to the punchline faster, but nothing that changes the meaning.
