So, now that Wednesday is upon us and we’ve all picked up our various Wednesday comics, have you perused the back of your latest DC book? Notice the new list of speculation? DC always does huge posts lists in their DC Nation page that is supposed to titillate us for the future to come. Why don’t you join in with us as we guess what it all means?
- Beware the one-armed man! – I’m at a loss on this one. Even a quick Google search shows there are no one armed DC villains that are still in use (I found a guy called the Flaming Hand but he apparently has not been used for quite some time). So who is the one-armed man? Is it someone who is going to lose their arm? Or do I just not know as much as I pretend I do?
- Red Robin was right… – Bruce Wayne is alive. Did someone not read the last page of Final Crisis?
- Remember that thing about Mars – Mars instantly makes us think of the Martian Manhunter. But what specifically? How about where is the rest of his species?
- Check list of inmates – I’m guessing a reference to Arkham Asylum, which we currently have a mini for
- Make sure to tell everybody that Lobo: Highway to Hell by Scott Ian & Sam Kieth comes out 11/4! – No idea.
- Kill Lady Blackhawk – Click. Speculate.
- Buy coffee – Probably means he needs to buy coffee.
- Check on proper usage of umlauts – an umlaut is a type of sound shift in a spoken language. More specifically, German. I believe it’s fair enough to make assumptions that this is in reference to some character with German heritage either returning or getting a spotlight.
- Talk to Dan about “crazy” idea he has for Outsiders – Seems self explanatory, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see
- Set line-up for fantasy football team – Looks like someone plays fantasy football
- Call back mystery writer from LA – A new writer for DC? From LA? Hmm.
- Call Azz to tell him how awesome I think future plans for Doc Savage and Batman are – Azz is a reference to Brian Azzarello, if the rest of the sentence wasn’t obvious enough
- Finish Wild Dog pitch – Click. Speculate.
- Call Chi from payphone and ask if he has any ideas about Wednesday Comics II, then laugh and hang up – Either this means there WILL be another Wednesday Comics mini or their won’t. I can’t tell how serious it is. I do know it sold well so it wouldn’t be a major surprise if they did more.
