Rumors have been flying about Todd McFarlane taking over DC Comics, and while that hasn’t happened just yet, it’s learned McFarlane is publishing comic books for The Flash, Black Adam, and Injustice 2, which is in addition to the Batman Spawn crossover announced at Comic-Con.
The comic books are a part of McFarlane Toys’ “Page Punchers” line where the 7-inch action figure line features comic books for The Flash, Black Adam, and Injustice 2.
The Black Adam action figure line and comic book is already out and features Black Adam, Batman, Superman, and John Constantine.
The Injustice 2 comic book and line features Batman and Green Arrow and gets released Sept, 15.
The Flash line gets released on Oct. 3 and features The Flash, The Atom, Captain Cold, and Heat Wave, and worth a note for The Flash line is the descriptions state the characters are based on the exclusive included comic designed by McFarlane Toys. See below.
McFarlane Toys already has a “Page Punchers” 3-inch line that comes with previously published DC Comics books, so the 7-inch line will feature original Todd McFarlane-published DC Comics.
It has been reported David Zaslav and Warner Bros. Discovery are now targeting DC Comics as the company is apparently a big failure, so according to former Green Lantern artist Ethan Van Sciver, Van Sciver is predicting that Todd McFarlane will take over DC Comics, where possibly McFarlane will license DC Comics from Warner Bros. Discovery.
DC used to have its own action figure company, DC Direct, but that was kiboshed, and now McFarlane Toys has the license for the DC action figures, and he’s doing a damn fine job, so maybe Todd McFarlane will also eventually publish all the DC Comics, which would be a most welcome change.
Rumors have also offered The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman might be in line to take over DC Comics.
