DC New 52 discussed at Boston Comic Con; September “0” issues confirmed

dcwomenkickingass:

This afternoon at the Boston Comic Con a number of creators in the new 52 discussed various aspects of the reboot while confirming the story from Bleeding Cool earlier this week that DC will issue “0” issues in September that will feature origins or stories about the characters or their casts that happened before issue #1.

The confirmation came during a fast paced hour of discussion that included Jamal Igle (The Ray), Cliff Chiang (Wonder Woman), Ivan Reis and Joe Prado (Aquaman) and Francis Manapul (The Flash). At one point there seemed to be some confusion about whether it had been officially announced by DC. Reis and Prado admitted they had just heard about it.

But there was a lot of information other than September’s “0” issues covered during the panel and you can read it all after the cut.

What would a con be without a question about the status of Wally West? Manapul stated he had grown up on Wally and “day number one” had made it his mission to try and get Wally into the book and the DC was firm and said, “no, you can’t.” He said he “snuck” him in the book early on to “test the waters” but he had to remove him. Manapul said part of the challenge is that “one you introduce Wally the audience is then going to be waiting for him to become the Flash.” When the moderator mentioned the continuity of Wally and Dick being best friends, Manapul said, “don’t even ask me about that.”
