[Press] DC brings back 80s icon Vibe following Flash:Rebirth
Someone PLEASE tell me this is a joke!
Responding to pre-release buzz on Flash: Rebirth, DC has already announced the
next character getting the Rebirth treatment: Vibe from the 1980s “Detroit-
era” Justice League.Geoff Johns and Ethan van Sciver will pick up the project as soon as they’ve
finished Flash. Dan Didio explains the genesis of the project:> It was really a melding of events. First of all, with Superman, Batman,
> Wonder Woman, Flash and Green Lantern all leaving the Justice League,
> Dwayne McDuffie wanted to try and bring back some of the feel of the
> Detroit-era League. And what character is most associated with that League?
> Vibe! Plus we had some very positive fan response to his appearances in
> Trinity. And orders for Flash: Rebirth have been phenomenal. We want to
> strike while the iron is hot, so I asked Ethan if he’d be interested, and
> he just jumped at the opportunity. Literally, he jumped. I could hear the
> thump on the other end of the phone.The writer and artist explain some of their motivation in an extensive
interview.>GJ: He’s one of DC’s great untapped characters. He was the first Justice
> Leaguer to be killed in the line of duty. He was only around for few years
> and didn’t really get a chance to explore his full potential.

>EVS: To me, he’s DC’s #1 under-utilized character.Further information available in the following articles:

Since you asked…yes, it’s a joke.
The Irredeemable Shag at Once Upon a Geek organized it, and coordinated four other bloggers including myself as we each wrote articles or reactions to the “news.”
Very well played!
