Helena Wayne is one of my favorite characters, while I like Helena Bertinelli she is a bit too anti-heroish for mt taste. Plus a return to the Earth-2 concept is always welcome, which is honestly one of the most undervalued concepts in comics especially after Roy Thomas got his hands on it in the late 70's.<br /><br />While I am sad to see Static go I am positive he'll show up soon, I mean he was already teased in Teen Titans. OMAC is the real kick in the pants for me though, it is a fun book that was really picking up steam. Though my current theory is that OMAC and all the various aspects of his story are going to get mixed into JLI, just for Maxwell Lord alone. <br /><br />Part of the issue I think with Wave 2 being so small is that Wave 1 went beyond everyone's beyond everyone's expectations. Honestly I believe DC expected at least a quarter of the books to flounder, but even the lower tier ones are still performing rather well. More than anything I think they choose titles more on how they are going to fit into a bigger scale. My guess is that Captain Atom was saved because they are planning some big nuclear being crossover, which will probably lead into a new series afterward. Small reason I think the likes of Voodoo and Grifter are save for a bit longer, and also explains the recent creator changes. I am guessing that Wave 3 is probably where a lot more titles are going to end but also bring with them new related series. I mean with the increased Daemonite presence a "WildCATs" relaunch is nearly unavoidable. Plus with Superman fighting Helspont I am figuring that Kryptonians are going to be reviled to be Kherubim off-shoots.The Blue Sainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08068533375215961251noreply@blogger.com
