Today, DC unveiled its full post-Convergence lineup, including no less than TWENTY brand new ongoing series’ to go along with the twenty-five current titles that are continuing.  So while it’s not exactly a reboot on par with the New 52, or Marvel’s upcoming Secret Wars event, it still represents a sizeable shake-up for the publisher… which, let’s be honest, is no bad thing.

Before we start digging too deeply however, here’s the complete list of the twenty new titles, along with their creative teams.

Some positive steps being taken here for sure, including David Walker’s Cyborg; both Black Canary and Starfire getting ongoing solo series’ (the latter including a far less ridiculously mysoginystic version of the fan-favourite, courtesy of Emanuela Lupacchino), and a LGBT lead in Steve Orlando’s Midnighter (although the demise of Batwoman as an ongoing series kinda balances that one out).

CANCELLATIONS

And finally, we have the list of cancellations – some disappointing, some long overdue, and a few lying somewhere in between.  However, it bears mentioning that a lot of the cancelled titles are effectively continuing, albeit with slightly different takes (like Red Hood & The Outlaws now being split into Starfire and Red Hood/Arsenal ongoing titles, for example) so there’s not too many characters being wiped out completely.

– Aquaman And The Others
– Arkham Manor
– Batman and Robin
– Batwoman
– Constantine
– Earth 2
– Green Lantern Corps
– Green Lantern: New Guardians
– Justice League Dark
– Justice League 3000
– Klarion
– Infinity Man And The Forever People
– Red Hood & The Outlaws
– Red Lanterns
– Secret Origins
– Star Spangled War Stories
– Supergirl
– Swamp Thing
– Trinity of Sin
– World’s Finest

Definitely a lot to digest, and a lot to potentially get excited about between now and June. We’ll be breaking down the key points individually in some separate posts, but for now, let us know what your initial reaction is about this new lineup moving forwards.

Yay or nay?
