DC Comics hosted their final panel at the San Diego ComicCon today and their big announcement of the weekend certainly did live up to it's billing as a "blockbuster"
At the end of this morning's panel DC Comics revealed that starting January 2009 the main Batman title is going to be helmed by none other than Neil Gaiman and Andy Kubert on an arc entitled "Whatever happened to the caped crusader?"
According to Dan DiDio once the Batman RIP arc ends in November, there will be "a two part story looking at what Gotham has become, written by Denny O'Neil." before Gaiman and Kubert step into the title.
This has certainly been a great Comic-Con for Batman news. In summary we've learned the following:
- Kevin Smith will be writing a three part Batman mini-series starring a villain from his Green Arrow run who speaks in sounds. It will be drawn by a yet unnamed mystery artist.
- Jason Todd is set to star in his own miniseries post-RIP
- Also after RIP we will be seeing an arc entitled "Battle for the Cowl"
