Apparently the world of the New 52 will continue to be so known, even after a wave of new titles are introduced in May. DC Comics today announced that a half-dozen new titles would be introduced–but not until after six of their current, ongoing titles conclude with April’s eighth issues. USA Today ran a story today on the change, which provides some details and insight into the nature of the changes and features brief interviews with some of the key players, including Batman Incorporated writer Grant Morrison.When December’s sales numbers were released, over forty of DC’s 52 ongoing titles were in the top 100 for sales in the industry. Six that weren’t? Blackhawks, Hawk and Dove, Men of War, Mr. Terrific, O.M.A.C. and Static Shock. Those six titles will be concluding their stories with #8, according to DC’s blog The Source, and will be replaced by two titles everyone already knew were coming–Batman Incorporated by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham, and Earth 2, James Robinson and Nicola Scott’s Justice Society book–as well as four more that are somewhat less predictable: World’s Finest, G.I. Combat, The Ravagers and Dial H.”The excitement of the initial launch of DC Comics – The New 52 was in seeing the re-imagining of these classic characters and concepts,” said Bob Harras, DC Entertainment Editor-in-Chief, who also told The Source that many of the characters from the canceled books would appear elsewhere in the DC Universe. “The ‘Second Wave’ is all about world-building.”
