Is he a big part of the rest of the series? I don't follow DC as closely, but if there's more of this out there, I need to jump in. :wow:
Yeah the whole book is basically a co-starring thing between him and Adam Strange.

I don't think they showed Swamp Thing, Detective Chimp or Constantine actually die.

Constantine died? He was in one of the last panels, but I don’t remember seeing him get merked. Isn’t dude the focal point of this story? Why kill him now? :dwillhuh:

As long as one of them isn't The Batman Who Laughs, I don't care

He’s not in this Universe. :ahh:

The Wasp has stacked a lot of bodies over the years and no one ever talks about it. They always make She-Hulk out to be loose with it but Jan might have her beat. She even got down with Magneto.

For a guy that gets as much hate as he does for some books Tom King is still so goddamn GOAT-level with other books.:wow:

DC Comics, DC Universe Hit By Major Layoffs

The majority of staff of the streaming service DC Universe has been laid off, as has editor-in-chief Bob Harras and multiple other executives on the publishing side.

Monday's WarnerMedia layoffs have affected a significant number of high-level figures at comic book powerhouse DC, multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

Among those said to be losing their positions are editor-in-chief Bob Harris, senior VP of publishing strategy and support services Hank Kanalz, VP of marketing and creative services Jonah Weiland, VP global publishing initiatives and digital strategy Bobbie Chase, senior story editor Brian Cunningham, and executive editor Mark Doyle, who oversaw the rollout of the Black Label graphic novels. Jim Lee remains the CCO.

Roughly one third of DC's editorial ranks are being laid off, according to sources.

Insiders also say the majority of the staff of the streaming service DC Universe has been laid off, a move that had been widely expected as WarnerMedia shifts its focus to new streaming service HBO Max.

"DC Universe was DOA as soon as the AT&T merger happened
,” said one source.

DC Universe launched in May 2018, and is home to live-action series such as Doom Patrol, Titans and Stargirl, as well as animated offerings including Young Justice and Harley Quinn. Some of those shows have now started to stream on HBO Max.

Also a victim of the layoffs: DC Direct, the company’s in-house merchandise and collectibles manufacturer. The division has been shuttered after 22 years, another move that was rumored when Warner Bros. Consumer Products began taking a more active role in DC merchandising.

A DC spokesperson declined to comment on the changes, which come less than two weeks before the planned Aug. 22 online event DC Fandome, which is set to showcase stars from DC's film, TV and comic book worlds.

That's messed up but should have been expected once AT&T took over.

The streaming service, everyone saw. For the publishing side, they're gonna put non-comic people over those positions, and completely eff it up even more.
