'Dirty Girls'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
(While I understand that they made him an offer he couldn't refuse, I have to admit that I am in fact bitter about this development.)
Preach it. I haven't heard yet what this means for Gotham Central, but with its low sales, I expect a cancellation announcement soon. It also means only 4 more issues of Sleeper, and I guess his Authority run is only going to last 12 issues.
How did DC let this happen?

I... didn't know this had happened until just now.

Yeah, I don't expect GC to last much beyond the last arc he and Rucka are doing. Damn it.
How did DC let this happen?
It makes me *really* nervous about their big plans for the coming year. I get the sinking feeling that they're moving away from the kind of storytelling I (and, as it happens, most of the female fans I know) love best and into the sort of meh BS that had me rolling my eyes at superhero comics for much of the early 90s.

The Crisis du jour? Where I am *convinced* (along with half of fandom) that Jason Todd is coming back?

Well, if that happens, that happens in the next few issues of one particular title. What I'm thinking of is the 'verse wide plan.
I think "Jason Todd is coming back" is pretty small potatoes when it comes to the events planned in the DC universe this year. Not only do you have the "Crisis" du jour (titled Countdown and spinning off 4 separate mini-series), you also have Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers mega-series, and the All Star Batman and All Star Superman series this year. All this is in addition to the normal title line-up. Marvel is doing something similar with House of M, so it looks like the big event strategy is the main order of the day for the Big Two.
Anything coming out today? Is the new Astounishing this week?
Astounishing is not today.
On my list is Outsiders and Nightwing, and I'm probably going to grab Green Arrow if they have it.
so it looks like the big event strategy is the main order of the day for the Big Two.
But that's nothing new--it has been for the past near twenty years. Ever since "Crisis on Infinite Earths."
Except that in the mid-90's, overreliance on the Big Event came and bit them in the ass.
