Listened to a Word Baloon podcast with Aquaman's writer, and it was highly entertaining. A lot of what's happening in the book is due to editorial (such as no Arthur/Mera marriage and Arthur hanging out in the bay more than Atlantis), but small victories for her include lampooning editorial's suggestion of a love triangle (she finds them tiresome and a little offensive to strong-willed women) and Mera's pregnancy.

DC Nation Panel at SDCC www.newsarama.com/46116-sdcc-2019-dc-nation-panel.html*Joshua WIlliamson says the "secret six" (the heroes infected by the Batman Who Laughs) have reasons to be pissed off, but are not evil, just driven to win. *Didio says DC is trying to build more of a cohesive line *DiDio moves to Cecil Castellucci and asks what she was told when she took over Batgirl. She said that she had a lot to juggle between the overarching narratives in the DCU and the fact that she's coming in during an event. *Willaimson says he initially failed with his Flash pitch, but eventually revamped it and it got approved. *Williamson says that part of his approach to Flash Year One was combining Miller's approach to Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns. *Angel & Ape gets shouted out and DiDio says that Castellucci was pitching it that morning. *Didio says they are "working" on producing more Milestone titles *Greg Capullo said that he's hoping to do a Swamp Thing book as well.

As much as I like mj I don't feel she needs a ongoing series. A mini sure.

Really Eisners? Mister Miracle & The Swamp Thing special are one thing but do you really want to put "Heroes in Crisis" under anything that says "best"?
