Devin's not happy about Frank Miller.

Where are you getting Miller from that?

Where are you getting Miller from that?

The "star fucking" comment later on. The general weariness with bringing in stunt writers who muck up the continuity. The fact that Frank's the stunt writer who is currently rewriting key backstories. Also, I've seen her name him in other interviews (but not in this negative tone) noting that they had to work around whatever changes he made.

But I don't know for sure. That's just who I assumed she was talking about it. Do you think it's somebody else? (Joss? Kevin Smith?)

Miller's new title isn't meant to be canon, though. Which is good, because canon Batman isn't *actually* as fucked-up as Miller is writing him in the Batman & Robin title.

That particular quote seemed more like a comment on what went on with Nightwing, where her arc was disrupted by War Games, then interrupted by the six-issue NW:YO mini from Dixon and Beatty.

Miller's writing an out of continuity mini that doesn't interfere with any other titles. I don't know when the last time was that he worked on something actually connected to current canon.

I think she's speaking more to generalized trends, however, when it comes to Big Name Writers coming and making merry with the chaos. Meltzer on IC, Smith rebooting Green Arrow, blah blah blah. It's possible that having a Vertigo writer with a following come in and play with the regular DC toys also counts. (Trendspotting: Vertigo/Wildstorm writers who come in and write DC mainstream and wind up writing things that don't mesh? Willingham's not the first, and I doubt he'll be the last.)

Bryan Singer has an upcoming DC Comics project that would fit the bill too, doesn't he?

Does Astounishing fit with current continuity or is it out-of-canon? I know it's a new title, but is it tied in with current X-titles (not that I'm reading anything else, just curious)?

Mmm, I was wrong about Miller's series being in-continuity.

Astonishing is at the center of the X-Books, pretty much, and is very much in continuity.

I quite liked the Ultimate X-Men annual, not least of because I'm all for killing characters, even ones I kinda like. And I hope that in this universe they can stay dead too.

I can't remember what's happening in the main title, so perhaps that's not a good thing.
