There are so many titles that have graced the DC2 waiting in the wings to be rediscovered, read, loved and then expanded upon. Below is a list of "open" titles that are currently sitting in the Archives, that could be picked up by anyone interested in writing for the site! Of course, things will change and this list will change too, so if I've missed anything, if a book is coming back and I didn't know, then just PM me and I'll amend my post. I have left out books that were "maxi-series" with ties to events running through the site now (e.g. Secret Society of Super Villains) and books that were written by specific writers with specific visions (e.g. The Immortal Legend of Hawkman) but if something piques your interest, all you have to do is ask. OPEN TITLES Aztek
Black Lightning
Blue Beetle
Booster Gold
Challengers of the Unknown
Doom Patrol
Firestorm
The Flash
Hellblazer
Legion of Super Heroes
Saga of the Swamp Thing
Sebastian Faust
Static Shock
Weird War Tales
Young JusticeNot only those, but Rogues Gallery is open if you're interested in writing a story spotlighting your favourite villain while All-Star Comics is available if you want to write a story for your favourite hero!
Do you want to write a character that doesn't appear on the list? Interested in writing Batman, Superman or Wonder Woman? Just send a message to "Admin" and he'll direct you to the appropriate editor and we'll see what we can do.
Feel free to post questions here, we look forward to hearing from you! |

I've released teaser art and announced plans for Doom Patrol. It's not open.
I'll be alternating this with Earth-Two projects and need 3 to 4 issues to wrap up what I've done and set up a new status quo that will leave it in an accessible place for other writers. It should be available by next summer. If someone expresses interest in the title I'll try to speed up that time table.

I do have an outline for a six-issue Legion of Superheroes series. However, it doesn't quite work as a continuation of Scott's original (and great) run.
A writing partner would be welcome.

I'm not sure what your approach is, Doc. But the Pre-Crisis (Classic!) Legion is considered canon as far as the Earth-Two continuity is concerned. :-)

My Legion series features the characters you (mostly) know and love, but the scenario and supporting cast are different. Imagine the Legion of Superheroes done by Alejandro Jodorowski and Mœbius instead of Otto Binder and Al Plastino.
This series would most likely be relegated to Elseworlds or an alternate Earth, and I'm okay with that.

Thanks Brandon. I'll definitely put your Doom Patrol on my pull list.

If you want to do it as an Elseworlds, do feel free to send me a message and we'll set to the editorial process. Always love talking through ideas if you need feedback, and I like the sound of your thinking (Jodorowski did El Topo, right? I can't remember if I watched that drunk or whether it just felt that way, definitely something I need to revisit...like Keoma with the dial turned to 11). |

Don't bring up the E2 LSH! Oh god, I still have all the notes for Legionnaires that I was developing for E2 with Boris, several of them using the designs Brandon developed. Oh man, just not enough time in the day!
Take care
Don

Glad to hear it. You can take it off the list.
I have struggled getting anything else going lately so I put everything else aside for now. I wanted to mix things up a bit, and the Flash seems to be the perfect choice to do something different. I am currently re-reading the entire DC2 Flash run as my first stage of preparation.

Forgive me if this is answered elsewhere, but I'm interested in tackling Young Justice and would like to know, if the current setting seems to be reset to Bronze Age or thereabouts (Dick is Robin, Donna is Wonder Girl), what would the team entail? Just young heroes not already on the Teen Titans or something else?

Just young heroes not already on the Teen Titans or something else? We've had a Young Justice title in the past, in our archive section dc2universe.net/board/336/young-justice , where the team was pretty similar to that from the original DC Young Justice series by Peter David and Todd Nauck. Of course, that doesn't mean you're not free to pitch a series featuring other characters should you so wish (or you could carry on with the same team). Feel free to PM me with your ideas and we'll see what we can do. |

Is Action Comics open. I have some ideas including a three-part story that's ending would be good for a 50th issue.
Thanks, Steve.

Would the Creature Commandos or Haunted Tank count as “Weird War Tales”?

Okay then, I’ve had a couple of ideas involving The Haunted Tank for some time and one particular story involves Jeb Stuart leading his men on a mission issued by the U.S. Army. The mission in particular is to aid a caravan of Jewish immigrants coming into a Swedish Military base, a simple task in the minds of our fellow Tank-happy joes; however this mission has a hidden evil behind it all. The caravan is being driven across a massive burial-mound, one that is protected by Draugr; revenants or “again-walkers” in ancient Norse mythology. The tank will be forced to encroach upon a ancient evil in order to protect a caravan of innocents, will the crew survive till sunrise or will they end up like the fallen viking warriors before them....
So that’s the first of many ideas that race around my head, what do you think?

I think if you have ideas for a Haunted Tank series, you should most definitely propose them to Admin! I think it'd be really cool to see a Weird War Tales or Haunted Tank series back on the site, as it's always a sure fire win.
If you're keen and it all goes well, I also have a present day, Haunted Tank-related story I'm looking to bounce around with somebody, so let's see how this all goes!

Where can one propose to the admin?, I’m interested in the Haunted Tank idea that you have?

Where can one propose to the admin? Just send me a personal message. You can do that either by clicking on 'Messages' at the top of the page, or click on the picture of Barman saying "The DC2 Needs You!" on the homepage. Just send me details of what ideas you have for stories and we'll go from there. Looking forward to hearing from you. |

Basic rule of thumb is that if an issue hasn't been posted on the site for a while, then the book is probably open!
Just ask here or PM our Admin, because I know (for example) someone's working on bringing back Wonder Woman but it's not been shared with the rest of the site yet (Spoilers!) so if you wanted to work on that there might be a problem, but I don't believe anyone has any plans for Batman Beyond--! Can't wait to see your take.
