DC PUBLISHING THE SAME STORY WITH TWO DIFFERENT CHARACTERS IN THE SAME MONTH!

Did someone realize that the stories of Grifter # 1 and Resurrection Man # 1 are exactly the same? Well, the writer Emerson Abreu - who writes some of the stories of Monica's Gang, the most sucessfull comic book in Brazil - did.

On Twitter, Abreu posted the following messages:

"Grifter wakes up in a lab, flees, takes a plane, he discovers he's being chased by demons and jumps from the aircraft in the middle of the fight. THE END."

"Resurrecion Man wakes up in a morgue, flees, takes a plane, he discovers he's being chased by angels and jumps from the aircraft in the middle of the fight. THE END."

"Not to mention that in the two comics, enemies are disguised as humans and in the end, the authorities are in pursuit of the heroes. Where's the editor?"


So, DC ... what is the excuse? 


Grifter is written by Nathan Edmondson. Resurrection Man is written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. Did they talk a lot about ideas and they both used the same ones? Was that a joke? I  don't think so.

Dear DC editors, is this the example of writers with new ideas? Do not just use the same formula - mega sagas, crossovers, heroes die then come back to life,etc. - do you also use the same general/plot lines? Or did you make a mistake?
