Team 7 #0 – Review
So how can DC pull off a flashback series like Team 7 when most of its books can’t even get on the same page about what DCnU’s history actually is? Well, it can’t

Mark Waid has started a neat digital comic publisher called Thrillbent. Up until now Thrillbent has only published Luthor and Insufferable. At a panel about Thrillbent (which I’ll be writing an article about for Player Affinity), Mark mentioned that in the next couple of months he’ll start publishing comics by many other writers with a goal of a new “issue” from a different writer every day. One of the writers was in the audience that panel. When I saw her at another panel I asked if I could interview her.
The final part of Rob Liefeld’s first story arc of Deathstroke – will this issue be as bad as the rest of the story arc? The artwork certainly is worse, but what about Liefeld’s new direction has me singing him some praise?
When the press representative to Baltimore Comic-Con asked who I wanted to interview, I had three creators listed: Mark Waid, Peter J Tomasi, and Scott Snyder. Unfortunately, there wasn’t room in the schedule for an interview with Snyder because they had Scott doing autographs nearly around the clock. However, I was able to score an interview with him between signings on the condition that it be “literally five minutes”. I certainly didn’t begrudge him – he’d been working nonstop since the show opened that day (and quite a fair bit the day before). So I’d like to thank him very much for taking what ended up being 5 minutes and 58 seconds to talk with me.
OK so we saw in Detective Comics the earliest years of Bruce returning to Gotham. Now we get to see the time right up to when he becomes Batman. Is Scott Snyder up to the task? What has changed in the New 52 and what remains the same?
Jim Lee is going to be leaving Justice League, but who is going to take his place? Are you happy or upset about his departure?
While roaming around the floor I came across a booth that caught my eye. As someone that’s become somewhat of a Wizard of Oz fan thanks to the Marvel version of Baum’s book that took me deeper than the MGM film did. There was a rack of issues for something that looked like a Western version of the Wizard of Oz. That got me talking to main writer, Tom Hutchinson. We agreed to do an interview Sunday morning. Expect to see some reviews of books from Big Dog Ink in the next few days and weeks.
