DC Comics announces changes for SHOWCASE PRESENTS

You can read the full press release at Newsarama.
Current orders for the following SHOWCASE PRESENTS titles are cancelled. These titles will be resolicited at a later date:

SHOWCASE PRESENTS: CAPTAIN CARROT VOL. 1

SHOWCASE PRESENTS: THE GREAT DISASTER FEATURING THE ATOMIC KNIGHTS AND HERCULES VOL. 1

SHOWCASE PRESENTS: THE SUICIDE SQUAD VOL. 1

SHOWCASE PRESENTS: SECRET SOCIETY OF SUPER VILLAINS VOL. 1

SHOWCASE PRESENTS: JONAH HEX VOL. 2
Honestly, the only one of these I was getting was THE GREAT DISASTER, but since I know how much it sucks that I'm not going to get it now, I sympathize with those who were looking forward to those other 4.

The same press release also announces:
TALES OF THE SINESTRO CORPS PRESENTS: THE ANTI-MONITOR #1 will arrive in store with the title TALES OF THE SINESTRO CORPS PRESENTS: SUPERMAN PRIME #1.
Well, that answers one question. But the other one is -- is this a completely different story now? I mean, the Anti-Monitor and Superman Prime aren't exactly interchangeable characters. Is this going to have nothing to do with the Anti-Monitor now? What's it all about? I'm so confused!!!!

  1. I didn't order Captain Carrot or the Suicide Squad books, but I did order the rest. I'm bummed. From what I read, it's all about royalties. Bah. I'm happy that a World's Finest and another Brave & The Bold volume are coming instead.

    As for the Anti-Moniter/Superman Prime thing. This is all a result of DC losing the rights to use Superboy. Superboy Prime is now Superman Prime and he did come back in Infinite Crisis partially dressed like the Anti-Monitor. I'm sure it's the same story, just a new title.

    I'm glad you like it! It turned out a lot better than I expected. I'm not even sure where I first saw this cover, but as soon as I did, I knew it had to be a logo.

    I'm bad like that!
