>Deathstroke, which Priest helped relaunch as part of Rebirth, was nominated for an Eisner this year and has won fans and critical acclaim with thought-provoking stories like the standalone “Chicago” and the current “Defiance” storyline, which finds Slade Wilson seemingly turning over a new leaf.

>“In my initial Deathstroke conversation with Geoff, I suggested that, since we were reimagining Slade Wilson's adventures, why not shape the new book more like what a Deathstroke feature or TV series might look like?” explains Priest. “It is my intent to bring that same sensibility to Justice League, taking a hard “what if these characters actually existed in the real world?” look and working in an area of the series premise that is less frequently tapped.”

>That involves asking some hard and potentially redefining questions about the League itself.

>“Is the Justice League still relevant?” Priest asks. “What are their goals and how do we define them? In the ‘real’ world, how would various societies around the globe view this pantheon of godlike beings?”

>While Priest promises that the world’s greatest super hero team will continue to see plenty of action after he climbs aboard, he’s also particularly interested in look at the dynamics within the team. After all, with such a diverse, different group of heroes working together in highly charged situations, there are bound to be some fireworks.
>>
>“My goal is to treat the Justice League more like a workplace drama,” he reveals. “Although we will, of course, still have world threats, nasty villains (including Deathstroke!), and alien armadas, the League's greater challenge will be to define their place in this new and increasingly cynical age.”

>But don’t worry, Justice League will still have plenty of lighter moments.

>“Spoiler: In issue #1, Aquaman is driving a bus,” promises Priest. “That's all you really need to know.”

>“I’m going to be bringing everything I have to this book,” concludes Woods. “It’s gonna be a fun ride! I love these characters.”

>Look for Justice League #34 in stores on December 6, 2017. You can check out Priest and Woods’ first two Justice League solicits below…

>JUSTICE LEAGUE #34

>Written by CHRISTOPHER PRIEST
>Art and cover by PETE WOODS

>“LOST” part one! When the Justice League is confronted by three concurrent threats, a sleep-deprived Batman makes a crucial error that causes an unthinkable—and potentially unforgivable—tragedy. Legendary Eisner Award-nominated writer Christopher Priest (Deathstroke) is joined by artist Pete Woods for a brand-new must-read Justice League story like you’ve never seen before!

Huh. This is, no joke, exactly what I've wanted out of Justice League, and the lack of this is why I never really pick it up. Well shit, I'm down.

I'll be most interested to see how Priest handles Wondy. I don't think he's ever been anywhere near Diana.

Finally! I was hoping Priest would get another title and this seems like it's gonna be good
>>
>>95353305
He did a one-shot and a three-shot way back when. I've read the one-shot, but it's a weird time travel thing, so I didn't like it too much. The three-shot had some controversy, but I've never read it - just Priest's long essay responding to the controversy.

Holy shit, will this be the best Justice League since Joe Kelly?
>>
>>95353399
No, it just always made sense to me to do it that way. The League aren't really friends for the most part, they just have a mutual interest. Thing is, unless you play up their differences, they're not that interesting to read about together, and you're better off reading their individual series.

>>95353429
>Not him, but I like character relationships and development before "wacky world saving."
Also this. Superheroes save the day as a matter of course. Heroics in and of themselves are not that entertaining unless you give a shit about the heroes as people.

>>
>>95353399
Not him, but I agree. The plots should be solid too, but the draw of a team book is the character interactions. Wasn't much of a fan of JLI though.
>>
>>95353429
>>95353591
Morrison did best in renaissance, emphasis was on cool shit first and character interactions were in betweeners and though Kelly wanted to focus on characters more, it wasn't obtrusive like in JLI. Hopefully Priest is somewhere around Morrison/Kelly instead of JLI tier soap opera shit.
>>
>>95353679
He also drew Legion Lost, which was an underrated fun romp from New 52 era.

I wish DC would kill the Titans franchise already.

Too much hyperbole here, LL was good before Nicieza left then it went to shit. Woods was good on it though. Honestly I've never seen him draw poorly, so I don't get that anon's complaint.

If you're referring to King, the reaction to his run on Batman shouldn't be a shocker. He's never done a comic longer than 12 issues and this is a title he's got to shit out twice a month. I have no doubt Tom King could write a great Batman story, but brevity has always suited him better.

I hope not. I do want to see Riana and Arthur hanging out more, but not through shipping nonsense, not unless there's a foursome in the cards.

Legion Lost was pretty pedestrian at best. Yeah, the characters were on point, but the plot was fairly dull, and the post-Culling stuff was hilariously fucktarded.

Priest's Wonder Woman stories include one where Aquaman unsuccessfully tried to hide his erection from her and another where the leader of a country pulled an Indecent Proposal on her, saying he'd make peace with the country he was warring with if she'd sleep with him.

>I confess I have not read any of Phil Jimenez's work on the book, although the book gets rave reviews. I wasn't a big fan of George Perez' WW either, which I realize is heresy to a great many WW fans, but there ya go. I couldn't relate to white women in tiaras talking Big Talk and having exotic conflicts over exotic dangers. I mean, what did any of that have to do with me? On the other hand, I didn't want to read about Wonder Woman serving up burritos at Taco Whiz, either.
>The fact is, nobody has had a consistently winning vision for the character in a long time. Any real vision for the book has to be filtered through DC's legal and merchandising team, so it's not like I could turn her into Queen Of The Bitches or anything. The last time I remember enjoying the book was when Denny O'Neil, Mike Sekowsky and Larry Hama (editor) took her powers away, killed Steve Trevor, and dressed her in miniskirts and go-go boots. Denny is just a genius. And he wasn't particularly fond of the I-Ching era. But it was daring. It had an idea, a way to make all of this dusty Greek mythology relevant to Joe Lunchbox.
There's enough in there to make every Dianafag ree. I think he's just acknowledging that she's incredibly attractive so of course everyone's physically attracted to her.
>>
I am very excited and slightly worried. JL has been shit so far, so Priest will definitely be an improvement and focusing on the team dynamics and potential drama from that is both intriguing and thought-provoking, but I fear heroics will be brought to a halt and some characters will be made the bitches of others.
Mostly I'm worried that he'll drop deathstroke. Prieststroke is my top book so far.

But overall this is a plus.

>Johns is already involved in this, so that's a big red flag.

Johns is involved in all of Rebirth. This is a dumb thing to be concerned about when clearly there is no New Gods story on the horizon and the roster is completely different from the movie one. You should be concerned with the general DC fuckery that tends to happen with JL, not anything specific to Johns or movie synergy.

No because it sounded like he hasn't really read much about the character and doesn't care to.

Lel. But yeah if his Deathstroke and other works are to go by, a some characters will just be there to be plot devices while others to be strawman.

>>95354530
Dick as a character doesn't need to be "made good" because he's already good. The problem is his status quo.

Priest doesn't seem to understand anything about Dick though. I'd trust that he could write something competent, but better put him on something that actually appeals to him in terms of storytelling.

>The fact is, nobody has had a consistently winning vision for the character in a long time. Any real vision for the book has to be filtered through DC's legal and merchandising team, so it's not like I could turn her into Queen Of The Bitches or anything.
He's pretty much nailed Diana's problem, so that makes me think better of him. Besides he's right, DC will make him stick closely to DCEU WW since that's the most popular one.

>>95354536

>>95354586
King and Priest are not on equal footing, as unfair as that is. King is the Golden Boy until he tanks Batman's sales below what DC will allow. Priest, who I think is a better writer, has Deathstroke below where he was during New 52, even though the quality is light years ahead of where it was.

That's a shame. I think Dick has potential, and I do quite like him, but he's rarely written well. Both in his solo series and on Titans.

Is Coates' Panther any good? I read the first few issues and got bored with the lesbians.

>>95354943
It's probably more a response to Deathstroke being one of the most critically acclaimed rebirth book and having been nominated an eisner.

>>
>>95354829
Why the fuck would Coates want Steve? Sam would be perfect for him, Spencer's Cap was already focused on "woke" shit, but why put Coates on Steve? Coates is going to want to do controversial shit which is the exact thing I'm sure Marvel doesn't want, especially after this recent event which made Steve a fascist.
>>
>>95353899
So is Priest going to get canned due to Rich the Leach?
>>
>>95354969
Coates on Cap is because people were screaming about him being a nazi. And putting Coates on him would assure those people that Cap is not a nazi.
>>
>>95354943
No, this is just another Rebirth rehash. Priest has written JL before.

And some of the stuff in some Marvel "rumors" were already proven false. It's just more fanfiction again.

The same rumors said Waid and Samnee would write the bridge from Spencer to Coates. I believe it.

I honestly can't imagine WOJAR finishing with the book still doing six figures. It's back down to 102 IIRC.
>>
>>95354810
Yeah, and he also very publicly bitched about being typecast as "the black writer". Doesn't matter. It's somewhat doubtful anyone stupid enough to buy into the relatability meme in the first place is going to change their tune.

Especially since he liked O'Niel's run(assuming he even read it), but not WML's. So, you want Diana to be more grounded since magical princesses have nothing to do with you, but martial arts and spycraft, you're all over that shit. But at the same time, you don't want to read about a character doing the 9 to 5 beat. Yeah, okay, dude.
>>
>>95354969
It actually originated from Bleeding Cool, not /co/. They said he'd take over Cap starting with #600 or #601, and that Aaron would also take over Avengers. The latter seems to be coming true with that Avengers #675 solicit having a mystery writer and Aaron saying the prehistoric Avengers are set-up for elsewhere.

>>95354767
I’d love to get my hands on Grayson. I really have a strong idea of where to go with him that is both consistent with his fans’ core values about the character and is also progressive. At the very least, I’d redesign his mask so we could see his eyes. To me, the key to Grayson is his compassion for people. The cold white-eye look is Batman. Nightwing needs to be Batman 2.0, all the skills with much less of the theatrics and neurosis.

He wrote a few JL issues back in the 90's

Except Coates is the kind of guy who would definitely examine Steve's relationship with "America" and all the dark parts of America history, which is likely going to make people mad again.

Only if he writes matter-of-fact blog posts about the editorial process that makes DC look bad.
He has already talked about the editorial process, e.g. to people saying they thought his Damian was too mean, he said his beta reader (real life Hosun) said the same thing, so he wrote a second draft, but DC preferred meaner Damian in the first draft. And then the mess with the Lazarus Contract, which couldn't be a JJ Abrams-ing of the Judas Contract because the editors were too autistic about continuity and how even calling it the Lazarus Contract was a marketing decision he didn't agree with (since the story isn't even about it).
>>
>>95355029
>shit taste
I'm with you anon. I'm getting a bit sick of the memesters around here shilling the same 3 books: Stroke, New Supes and RHATO. Especially because i think the first two there are actually good, just seemingly overrated but the consistency of which you see it very non-specifically praised ("it's just SOO good dude!").

Your list looks a bit like mine though I'm dropping Trinity and Batman this week and picking up Action (mostly just to guarantee my #1000).

Sadly, I agree. Which is honestly despicable in my opinion. If this were almost any other writer when he began dipping right before the button we'd have heard some sort of rumors.

At least an arc. It says part two instead of finale.

But probably full time since Hitch fucked off and Deathstroke is eisner nominated and probably one of the most critically acclaimed rebirth books.

The rape was already undone by Identity Crisis explicitly not being canon.

>>95355534
It takes three characters, Red Hood, Artemis and Bizarro, who are defined more than anything being the "failed" versions of their root characters, and builds a bond and family around that identity they share. That's mostly why I like it. Starfire never really belonged in the Outlaws, and Roy was a poor fit as well, but Artemis and Bizarro fit the theme well.

Also I want Artemis to step on my dick

Lobdell gets a bad rap. Lobdell only wrote the biggest franchise in the world during the peak of comic popularity, one of the best teen series ever, the best superhero event of all-time and top 3 book of Rebirth

I mean, I understand liking that but you've literally basically said "I'm a characterfag so of course I like it."

Which I don't see as a problem but I don't see how RHATO fans in particular demand that everyone like their book. I personally think Superman is just as "comfy".

But comfiness isn't a measure of quality. So while I would never say you have shit taste for liking RHATO I completely reject that disliking it is shit taste. And since that's generally the mode of conversation from RHATO fans I think I'm pretty on-point to say it's overrated.
>>
>>95355462
Difference is people who don't care about comics know who Superman is so they're able to feign outrage. No one cares about Baz.

>>95355601
What other traits do they have in common to bond over besides being more assholish (artemis), retarded (bizarro) or both (jason) versions of their inspiration characters?

I'm not him and I haven't read Outlaws outside of the annual, but rating something on "comfiness" is a way to express why you enjoy it, which doesn't seem wrong to me. Discussion of a book doesn't have to be explicitly objective and hard analysis.

Will he be the keikaku master here too?
>>
>>95357413
No, it was either Jim Lee or Didio(probably based Didio) that wanted to contact him and than Marie Javins that gave him the second call to offer Deathstroke. Johns is a bitch and responsible for rehashes like Dixon on Bane.

I fucking love his Deathroke but I'm worried what this means for the JL. I don't want him to turn them into the Avengers where all the civilians suddenly hate the heroes and are huge assholes. Or turn Superman into the depressed silent Snyder version.
>>

That is indeed all I need to know to be interested. He understands the audience well.

>>95285543
>>
>>95363477

>>
Are they replacing JL, Nightwing, and GLs because they don't want their sales to drop too much? I noticed how the last two in particular are getting closer to the monthly chopping block
>>
>>95363578
that's what leaked

King got the Batman editor fired. Who knows how controlling Bat editorial really is.
>>
>>95353919
The Brave and The Mold was good too
>>
>>95364856
What is it with Bruce turning horrible? They keep trying to one up each other trying to be the next big writer that changes Batman forever.
>>
>>95353137
Priest is a good writer but this is going to be a fucking mess. The Deathstroke/Titans crossover and his subsequent freakout over being expected to know how characters have acted in the last couple decades shows that Priest can't be trusted to work on characters that have ties to other parts of a collaborative universe.
>>
>>95366523
So retarded characterfags on plebbit, cbr and tumblr will throw a massive autistic fit, while everybody else will like it.
>>
>>95366523

Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman have largely acted the same for decades. Sure, there have been developments in their lives but they're still the same

>Batman is a patient genius with no patience for anyone
>Superman is an optimist who acts impetuously from time to time
>Wonder Woman is an incredibly compassionate person who doesn't have time for anyone's shit

There, how is he going to fuck up their characterization? How are they fundamentally different from that? Sure Jessica and Simon he might fuck up, but as someone who loathes Green Lantern (like Priest) I don't give a fuck.

Never forget that he wrote the first issue of Emerald Dawn, which ended with a drunk Hal flying into a signpost
>>
I don't know how this will turn out since Priest has admitted to not being a fan of epic superheroes like Superman and Wondy. Though he also once said on his blog that he always wanted to write a Priest style cynical and anti heroic Justice League. I feel like Priest should've been allowed to tinker with the team members ie. bring in different members rather than just the big seven.
But I'm looking forward to it, since most JL writers since two decades have tried to write formulaic blockbusters.
>>
I wanted Priest to write a grounded big name character like Batman, Dick or Green Arrow.
>>
>>95367840
I wanted him on The Question.
>>
>>95355786
Seriously? I'm actually going to go read it now.
>>
>>95360793
It's amazing, it's like the 90s again, but not Leifeld 90s, it's on my short pull list.
>>
>>95367463
Do they intentionally pair the black writer and the black penciler?
>>
I'm hype.
>>
>>95367355
>There, how is he going to fuck up their characterization?
He already fucked up Superman's characterization in Deathstroke by making him too cynical and untrustworthy.
>>
>>95353137
Wait, did they seriously switch Humphries and Seeley on GLs and Nightwing? Not sure how I feel about this.

Also, is Priest's 90's JL run any good?
>>
>>95353137
>>95353153
>Priest
Great!

>workplace drama
Eh...
>>
>>95353137
Will try this out.

Hopefully I like it more than his Deathstroke.
>>
>>95367355
>but as someone who loathes Green Lantern (like Priest) I don't give a fuck.
He's written quite a bit of GL before and he seemed really annoyed by what they did to Hal in the 90s, I don't get the impression that he hates GL
>>
>>95370448
NIghtwing and GLs is a bit stale atm, the writer change might shake things up a bit.
>>
>>95367463
Lord Jesus Christ My Sides I just......This too much how did Hal recover from this....
>>
>>95367463
Wasn't this the second issue? Also, Emerald Dawn as a whole is shit anyway, I don't think Priest has a big effect on the quality of the overall story.
>>
>>95367840
I want him to write Blue Beetle, seems like he's into building lore around a character, and Beetle surely needs that right now.

>>95368035
I fucking wish man. I also want to see Seeley put his hands on The Question, it seems like his kinda thing. I seriously don't understand how there hasn't been a Question series in decades, does no one know how to write a good Question story or something?
>>
>>95355126
>dropping Trinity
You're doing the right thing anon. We were promised cute friendship book by Manapul, but we got shitty JL knock-off by Bunn and Williams. Trinity deserves to be fucking dropped by everyone.

Objectivism is deeply unpopular with the SJW crowd that's the current target audience.

Well, O'Neil made him a Zen guy. That seems less unpopular.

You guys are going to hate Priest on Justice League.

>Seley put his hands on The Question
Yuck
>>
>>95373762
If you're gonna change around the Question, might was well go with the conspiracy theorist version from JL:TAS.

But didn't they totally change his character around in nu52? Like he's an immortal sinner or something?
>>
>>95373939
I heard something like that. Honestly, a huge number of n52 reimaginations are stupid, so I didn't bother checking it out.
>>
>>95373939
Conspiracy but is boring. Urban shaman was better and so is Trinity of Sin Question. Trying to follow in O'Neil's footsteps is foolish because you're setting yourself up to fail.
>>
>>95363627
So everyone is getting up in arms about Priest when there are TWO Legion related stories in one month? Despicable.

Rucka did it well with Cry for Blood and 52.

He wasn't zen. Just a regular PI dude. He didn't actually get to do much and played sidekick to Rene. He was pretty lame and only used for melodrama so that Montoya can act sad and get her act together.
>>
>>95375980
He was pretty Zen in both - he pushed Helena towards a Zen outlook through Richard Dragon, and his attitude towards death in 52 was pretty influenced by what he did in O'Neil's run. I don't disagree that in both, he was a supporting character, but I think he was well characterized in that role.
>>
>>95376047
His death didn't feel zen, it was just a generic hero sacrifice. He pushed Montoya towards Dragon for training so she can take his spot.
>>
>>95376135
It wasn't a sacrifice - it was just the end of the road for him - a statement about the reality of death despite all was try to do to stop it.
>>
>>95373939
>DCAUfag
>>
>>95376276
Maybe you need to reread the damn thing. There's a reason Montoya blamed herself.
>>
>>95376322
I am honestly blanking on this. I thought she just wanted to save him because she couldn't save Crispus.
>>
>>95376484
He could've stayed in Nanda Parbat but he came with Montoya to help save her girlfriend.

>>
>>95355601
> and Roy was a poor fit as well

Except Lobdell focused on his addiction and self destructiveness and yearning of belonging somewhere, which fits well with Jason. Scott also did more interesting things with Starfire than any other writer has done in ages.
>>
>>95377586
They also ignored that Supes stopped a leftist from burning down a rich person's house in the same issue
>>
>>95377586
No, the issue is the portrayal of something that's never happened. It's not that superman is saving innocent people. it's that a redneck has never done this before. It's being trying to be real world social commentary on a fictional scenerio that has never happened. though if it did i wonder how many people would even care avout the people and just use it as a platform to rant about trump.
>>
>>95377128
Who's living there now?
>>
>>95353137
>>“Is the Justice League still relevant?” Priest asks. “What are their goals and how do we define them? In the ‘real’ world, how would various societies around the globe view this pantheon of godlike beings?”

This is like word for word what Zack Snyder said about Superman and look where that's got us.
>>
>>95377843
You should know that Priest doesn't meant it in the cheap Identity Crisis sort of way that Snyder did though, just based on previous works.
>>
>>95377722
>No, the issue is the portrayal of something that's never happened

Yeah, racists have never attacked people. Nor disgruntled ex-employees. And Superman is ONLT allowed to show portrayals that are 100% true and lifted from the headlines, just like Law and Order!
>>
>>95377904
So you admit liberals are living in a fantasy world where things like that happen.

Woah, it's almost like it's not the approach that's the problem, but the fact that Zack Snyder isn't a very good director.
