Seth and Crazy Train return to talk several subjects, ranging from Star Wars: The High Republic to C2E2. Specifically, the future of DC Comics and Marvel’s Empyre storyline.















Star Wars: The High Republic







Star Wars unveiled the new project, previously dubbed Project . It will tell stories of events approximately 200 years before The Skywalker Saga. Several authors are attached to the project so expect many novels and presumably comics.



















C2E2 Notes







DC’s Future







This piggybacks off our previous episode which discussed the potential 5G reboot and the questions regarding DC Comics’ future.







Jim Lee had a panel on the main stage. He addressed rumors about DC Comics’ future. While he did not state specifics, he did say that the company is not going away.







I wouldn’t put any credence into it. DC has been around for 85 years, and we’ll be around for another 85 years. I hope to be doing this panel in 85 years. Jim Lee at C2E2







As for the 5G project that will allegedly reboot the DC Comics Universe again, Kee stated that it was too early to give details







It’s hard to talk about things we haven’t announced… Our focus in talking to editorial team is to continue what we’ve done best: Character-driven stories, pairing right creators on right characters, and developing characters that are inclusive and diverse.







Could this be a release type statement or a form of doublespeak? Perhaps, time will tell. But he seemed pretty confident about the company’s future.







Regarding the 5G reboot, rumors about that it would involve killing off many of the current heroes and replacing them with new characters. If that is indeed the case, both Seth and Train winder how anybody that has any knowledge of these heroes would think it’s a good idea.







The New Batmobile







Speaking of reboots, Matt Reeves, director of The Batman, shared these first images of The Batmobile
