Attention Wingnuts!

Our long national nightmare is over. Bruce Jones is off the book.

The first story arc following his deaputre will written by the man who created Nightwing, Marv Wolfman, and drawn by Dan Jurgens. Will this be any good? Given that Wolfman did a decent job with his contribution to Infinite Crisis, I expect so.

That said, Dan Didio, the man who runs DC, is now on record as saying that he never wants to dee Dick/Babs again. The problem, methinks, wasn't with Jones but with the attitude towards Dick Grayson in the first place.

I hate Jurgen's art with a passion, but hearing that Wolfman is going to do it makes me extremely happy.

Good riddance to Jones.

If Didio actually said that, he is bad, evil and wrong.

:(

*squeaks*

What's that? Oh, look, it's money fluttering out of my wallet in my comic shop proprietor's hands. Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in. Do you have a link for the news?

It doesn't bode well for the Dick/Babs, though, given Didio's attitude and that Wolfman adores Starfire.

Yeah, but the key thing to remember is that Didio will not be in charge forever, and what he says will not hold true for whoever comes next.

I dunno, I'm not unhappy with the current state at all. But maybe that's just me.

But Dick/Babs is not necessarily the opinion of all diehard fans. I don't want it in current comics. A lot of others don't.

Comics just does what it wants, and fans deal with what it does. *shrugs*

A comforting thought, thank you :)

Good lord, more Dick/Kori? Well, at least I'll know what to pick up when I have insomnia problems.

*sporfle*

Don't mind the Dick/Kory, really. Despite being a dedicated Dick/Babs 'shipper, Dick/Kory had some good storylines and I see why he loved her and vice versa. It's just that for the lifelong thing, it's just so freakin' OBVIOUS it's Dick/Babs.

Of course, the Dick/Kory 'shippers could argue the opposite.

No, they can't. But they still DO.

Why didn't you tell me? I just dropped Nightwing, now I may have to re-add it to my list...
