Hello. I'm L1701E! I joined this board a while back, but this is my first post. I'm a college student (About to graduate  ), and my hobbies include collecting and reading comics and writing stories based on those comics. Anyway, I had this idea, why doesn't DC2 have their own Action Comics? Only, instead of it being a book solely about Superman's adventures, it can focus on all characters. One storyline could be a Superman adventure, the next could be a Batman, that kind of deal. Another Idea I had was for a Showcase, where it would focus on the debuts of original characters. I had an idea for a character for the Titans, and I think it would be great to debut him in a Showcase title. A third idea I had was to do a Brave-and-the-Bold style team-up book, where two DC characters team up in a storyline. One storyline could be a Batman/Flash team-up, and the next could be a Green Arrow/Green Lantern team-up, for example. Just some ideas I had. I like this DC2 thing, and the stories are great. |

Hey! Thanks for posting your ideas, L1701E!
Great minds think alike right? ;D We have a feature starting next month called All-Star and it will debut new characters each month. First up is Captain Marvel!
We also have an Action Comics in the works and it also debuts next month. The cover is finished already, with a spectacular piece of artwork by our own Ramon Villalobos, and from what I've heard of the story it promises to be a heckuva ride! So far though I think it will mostly focus on Superman, so make sure to be on the look out for that one!
There is NOT a Brave and the Bold type of book in the works. A team-up book does sound pretty cool though, so we'll definately consider it. If you have an idea for a story, L1701E, then please write it up and submit it to the admin! DC2 is all about new stories from new people! ;D
Thanks again!

For the Action title your in luck. In january there shall be an Action Comics but it will revolve (as the current one does) around Superman. It will be (what I am thinking) a more down to earth title... so to speak. All Star Comics is soon up which features heroes that don't get much play in DC2 and solo stories of some team guys (though I will not mention who.) The other two you mentioned I don't know a thing about but I do know they are not opposed to short series' and specials of titles and that kinda thing. That being said, maybe one of the "higher ups" should chime in because they know a lot more about that stuff than I and will say it quite a bit more eloquently. I can say this though, soon I will do a Deadman teamup with someone quite unexpected.... so these guys are up to ideas.

There is a Brave and the Bold title being discussed! First issue will be the first ever team up of Green Arrow and Hal Jordan, Green Lantern! Don't look through the calendar yet though, mateys, because it's yet to be given a release date! But don't say we don't care for the fans, as Brave and the Bold will be a monthly team up book with different writers and different duos!
Detective Comics and Action Comics have been geared so that different characters can appear in it. If you look at our covers, Batman is in smaller font that the actual title Detective, so all in all, keep it here, and as our esteemed editor always says: THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

Thanks! Well, I did have an idea for a storyline debuting a new superhero, but I'm not sure about DC2's policies towards member-created characters.

That is a tricky one. I would say that if the character were to debut in another character's book, or have some heavy connection or be a type of version of an already established character then I could see it. For example, we've had a few new Green Lanterns lately. And some newish versions of secondary characters in the team books like Seven Soldiers and Powers I think. Definately some new bad guys here and there. But as for a new primary character created whole-cloth? That's a lot more iffy. All I can say is submit the idea to one of the Administrators and we can consider it. |

As a staff member, writer or artist, first read the Rules and Guidelines thread in the What Is DC2? forum, and the Title Queue thread right here in the Announcements forum; then send a PM to admin (click on Idlewilder's username) with a specific proposal or submission!
It's that easy!
Drop us a line, we'd love to hear from you!It is THAT easy

Ok.......moving on. I have an idea. As the membership continues to grow at its current rate, I thought maybe some kinda of profile thread should be started. So as new people come in they have an idea of who's who and who does what. Maybe include a short bio and what titles or stories or art projects someone has in the works. Have just one thread that includes only this type on info? What does everyone think?  |

I am all for it on the grounds that it is made very clear that i have divine status. why? that way when people ask how i am feeling they can assume i am feeling godlike and they won't have to ask in the first place.

And people will tune in just to see how you're feeling?
Some how I hope someone can come up with a cool little personal but not cheesy profile/bio/who's who/who does what thing and avoid the typical Internet I like cheese on my pizza and I don't think I am pretty type thing. Or maybe this is a bad idea?
But it does beg the question: If a person with a God complex falls in the woods.............does everyone laugh at once or one at a time?

I think this is a great idea, minus the last couple of posts from our local 'God'... I was also going to propose another little something to help maybe get the lurkers involved a bit more... Maybe if they start getting more involved, they'll start leaving story feedback... I'll discuss with Dave & Brandon next week & post the idea here if it's approved! |

Sounds like a plan! It would be nice if more people got "actively" involved! This doesn't have to be a five six people show all of the time.

Sounds like an interesting idea, John. We can definately talk about this some more and see what develops, but I agree it may help build the openness behind this site of those here and encourage those coming in to contribute ideas and content.
I think we have managed to do this to some degree already. Considering we started with three people building this site in the very beginning, and in just a small number of months have grown to at least a half dozen or more active artists and to be at least as many writers very soon. There have been some growing pains of course but for the most part I would say our group so far has been a very friendly and dedicated bunch and what has allowed the site to function as well as it has.
But putting more of a face on that could be a true benefit and when looking at this number of people could even help the Staff themselves to form better bonds and potential collaborations.

I like this idea. It give's our readership some insight into the staff, and previews what intentions we have for the future (so we don't step on each other's toes, as well).
Let's do it. If everyone wants to write a Creator Profile blurb (all writers and artists are welcome to participate), you can PM it to me and I will start a thread in the What is DC2 forum.

Ok, if we're going to do this, someone needs to come up with a framework for us all to follow, ok? Something to keep it all orderly and nice. Mr 'Wilder?

Plans have been in place since before the first issue was published here on the site for something.... big.... here in a few months that you may find interesting. Hints are already being dropped in the books, so stick around! |
