#SDCC: DC Universe -- now with the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents!
While they had nothing quite as surprising to announce as the Marvelman announcement yesterday, the DC Universe panel at SDCC had some interesting tidbits come out of it. The highlights, as per CBR's liveblog:
- DC has finally acquired the rights to T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents. This has been a long time project for Dan DiDio.
- Geoff Johns will be writing a Flash ongoing after Flash: Rebirth and Blackest Night: Flash conclude.
- Sterling Gates, of Supergirl fame, will be writing a Kid Flash ongoing series to accompany Johns' main title.
- James Robinson starts his Justice League of America run with issue 38, a Blackest Night tie-in. His line-up will include Mon-El in a new, Superman-inspired costume, Dick Grayson/Batman, and Donna Troy.
- An upcoming issue of Booster Gold will guest-star G4 TV personality Blair Butler.
- Deathstroke will become the leader of the Titans later this year(?!).

For me the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents announcement was one of the highlights of the DC editorial panel. We have heard this before, but this time it looks like it might actually happen. Like the Milestone & Red Circle/Archie heroes they will interact with the DCU characters before moving on to their own titles.
I thought that Blair Butler appearance was that it was strictly on the cover. Since I have no clue who she is, maybe I misunderstood.
Yep! Another reason not to read TITANS, or was it TEEN TITANS. Let's have an unrepentant murderer and child abuser lead the team.
As you can tell, I wasn't thrilled by everything I heard at the panel. Also, didn't appreciate Dan Didio making light of the one question I had a chance to ask. (An earlier comment regarding this was actually deleted from another board, so I'll not go further.)
