Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Moore v. Whedon - How did Joss beat Garth Ennis? Can I in good conscience vote AGAINST the man who gave us Watchmen and V for Vendetta?
I love Joss' writing, but he doesn't get to use "Prophecy Girl" or "Once More, With Feeling" against Swamp Thing and Promethea with me. His work in the comics field, although good, just isn't on the same level as Moore's.

That's kind of my feeling. He just doesn't have enough body to work with. And Alan Moore has even proven that he can handle humour in Top Ten.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gail Simone on the CBR forums:
Okay, all I can say is, after the One Year Later jump, ALL BETS ARE OFF. Some REALLY fun and new stuff is coming up...I can't wait for you guys to see.
But, and let's say this is purely speculative--
--if there were to be a new Bop team, completely new, no returning members--
Who would you like to see in the group?
I have no idea if that's spoilery or not, so whiting just in case.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Buh?
I sure hope DC doesn't fuck this up royally.

Maybe she's just teasing. I don't see the point in it being a real plan.

Oh, not just what Simone said, but the whole Crisis/One Year Later shebang. It's just ripe for being a disastrous cock-up.

Art Crawl!!!
Boy, I really need to read my comics.

It's definitely ripe for alienating their fanbase. I am intrigued by the One Year Later aspect though; that's an interesting narrative gambit that'll allow them to backfill that year as they go.

I don't think it'll be mediocre, that's for sure. Don't get me wrong -- I think it *could* kick serious ass, and I hope it does.
