More news from Fan Expo in Toronto.

[CBR]: DiDio confirmed that a new Plastic Man series will happen one day, the book's biggest advocate just needs to free up some time in his incredibly busy schedule.

"The biggest problem [with the hold on the title] is we're not going to do 'Plastic Man' without Ethan," said DiDio. "That's the rule now. I don't see the reason to do it. [Plastic Man] can do guest star appearances here and there but there is no sense doing the book without Ethan. He's the most passionate about it.

"Also Plastic Man is a character that --I hate to say it-- but he needs star power to draw attention to [his title] and with Ethan's support and what he brings to the table, that's the way to do the book. But naturally with everything going on with 'The Flash: Rebirth' and other projects floating around, it's just a matter of time of getting into it more than anything else."

OK. Bad news: They clearly don't want me to draw Plastic Man. Good news: They haven't decided on a writer yet.

Rounding up the latest news from the "black capes"...

A 'VILLAIN-CENTRIC WEEKLY?' [CBR] Dan Didio led the 'DC: A Guide to Your Universe' panel last Saturday at Fan Expo in Toronto, and while there were no major announcements, the DC Comics Executive Editor and his creative cohorts... answered an hours worth of thoughtful and thought-provoking questions from the assembled members of DC Nation.

Among the discussions about the Martian Manhunter's death, the return of Barry Allen, and the DC multiverse was this juicy tidbit:

Didio confirmed there is not one but two weekly series in the works to follow "Trinity" ... Matt Sturges will be penning a villain centric series that will be announced soon.

A weekly, villain-centric series?! More news as it happens...

A few-too-many beers and a lusty rendezvous leads a Jersey college student to the threshold of love (or something darned close). Now if he could only remember which threshold. Or which door. Or how to get home, for that matter. Luckily, he's in Philly.
