WildStorm and DC Continue to Integrate on 'The Edge'

DC announced their "Edge" lineup of titles this morning, featuring a huge number of the former WildStorm properties, as well as DC's, well, "edgier" characters, such as Deathstroke and their war and western franchises. Click below the jump to see the info, covers and creative teams to the new Stormwatch , Blackhawks , Sgt. Rock and the Men of War , All-Star Western , Deathstroke , Grifter and OMAC series, as well as a chance to vote on the most interesting-looking debut. It's not easy being Jaime Reyes. He has to deal with high school, family and all the drama that comes with being a teenager. Also, he's linked to a powerful scarab created by an alien race who seek to subjugate planets – or annihilate them. It's up to one teen hero to turn this instrument of destruction into a force for good in BLUE BEETLE #1 Ex-black ops agent Cole Cash is a charming grifter that few can resist. And yet he's about to be branded a serial killer when he begins hunting and exterminating inhuman creatures hidden in human form – creatures only he can see. Can the biggest sweet talker of all time talk his way out of this one when even his brother thinks he's gone over the edge?

Even when Gotham City was just a one-horse town, crime was rampant – and things only get worse when bounty hunter Jonah Hex comes to town. Can Amadeus Arkham, a pioneer in criminal psychology, enlist Hex's special brand of justice to help the Gotham Police Department track down a vicious serial killer? Featuring back-up stories starring DC's other western heroes. Jay Gatsby

I'm both surprised and kind of saddened by the fact that I'm by far most interested in Blackhawks. And I've never read a Blackhawks comic before. I love Suicide Squad, but I'm not too optimistic.about this team. Also, I only just learned Wildstorm was defunct, so I'm a little bummed over that, too; here's hoping we get more books from that little corner. Grifter being the first to get a solo title doesn't surprise me, but the "They Live" hook seems a little weak.

She lists some of the books successes in the first paragraph: Nearly 40 issues in a rough climate for new and "odd" books, consistently gushing reviews, appearances on the New York Times best seller list, all for a book with no A(or honestly, probably even B)-list stars. That's not even mentioning that it was one of the few books with actual, strong fully-formed LBGTQ characters. I'm sad that DC felt it needed to cancel such a strong, well-crafted, popular book in order to fit its relaunch plans. No amount of talk about being "new reader friendly," "less-confusing continuity reboots", or fans being afraid of backstory will ever convince me this was a good idea. I feel guilty speaking ill of the new "Suicide Squad," its seeming replacement, before it even comes out, but one of the more damning things I can think of is simply "It's not Secret Six.

The Rock wouldn't be the first pro wrestler-turned-actor to join the "GI Joe" universe. Back in the '80s, pro wrestler Sgt. Slaughter joined the Joe team in animated and action figure form. Do you think Johnson's a good choice to play Roadblock?
