Possible list of 52 titles if I ran DC; in progress, or not
So this link, If Bully owned DC..., inspired me a bit, & I started my list of what a new 52-title line could look like if I had DiDio's job & control issues. But I don't really want 52 series; I want fewer periodicals with higher page counts, somewhere between the present paradigm and what Shonen Jump does. (Wasn't that a McDuffie thing too?) So how about 13 big series?
1. Justice League 21st Century --the old man of the group is Wally West
2.
3.
4.
5. Superman Magazine --the "present day" Supes is actually Kon, Clark is an old guy (since he's like 100 years old now) and advisor
6.
7.
8.
9. Shadow of the Bat --if I cut it to a few titles, this will be the whole Bat-family in a phone book volume
10.
11.
12.
13. House of Secrets --a revival of the old "don't call it horror" title
14.
15.
16.
17. Teen Titans --I don't actually want a team of heroes called the Teen Titans; I want to do disconnected stories about teenagers doing big things
18.
19.
20.
21. Strange Adventures --probably like an old 'pre-Marvel' monster book as much as anything; maybe Doom Patrol and Metal Men too
22.
23.
24.
25. Helix Illustrated --note that the name evokes Epic Illustrated; it's a science fiction anthology
26.
27.
28.
29. Heart Throbs --because if you don't publish romance comics, you're not a full-service comic publisher
30.
31.
32.
33. Legend of the Swamp Thing --actually lots of Tefé
34.
35.
36.
37. The Fox and the Crow --actually a funny comix anthology, but they are there
38.
39.
40.
41. Flash Family --because Wally's kids are one of the better ideas in the last ten years
42.
43.
44.
45. All-Star Comics --the nostalgia series, with old 20th Century characters from Earth-1, Earth-2, whatever
46.
47.
48.
49. Detective Comics --now with real detectives!
50.
51.
52.
