SpeedsterSite points to this video montage from Emerald City Comicon, which includes clips from the DC Nation Panel in which Ian Sattler announces several tie-in miniseries to this year’s big event, Blackest Night. Pop Culture Zoo describes the panel in detail.
Blackest Night is an 8-issue miniseries, plus stories running through Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps, plus at least six three-issue miniseries.
August sees the launch of the launch (leaked a few days ago) of the following 3-issue minis:
- Blackest Night: Batman
- Blackest Night: Superman
- Blackest Night: Titans
Apparently at the panel, Sattler confirmed three more 3-issue miniseries starting in November:
- Blackest Night: Justice Society of America
- Blackest Night: Wonder Woman
- Blackest Night: Flash
Well, there’s no shortage of dead speedsters to become Black Lanterns, or dead Rogues for that matter — plus the events of Flash: Rebirth seem to be adding to the supply.
This might relate to this bit from Ethan Van Sciver’s interview at Speedster Site:
SS: Also, if Rebirth ships on time, we’ll be done by September. Will we have a Flash ongoing title directly following by the end of the year, or will we have to suffer like we did at the end of Flash #247?
EVS: And you’re incorrect about September, but I can’t announce why yet! Don’t worry, it’s a good thing.
Update: CBR has posted their own write-up of the panel.
