Beast Boy and Raven getting back together possibly? Took them long enough.

I am loving Booster Gold's sept cover.

It's absolutely baffling to me that someone actually thought that DC UNIVERSE: DECISIONS could possibly be a good idea. I'm all for "realistic" superhero comis, but this is ridiculous. Who cares who Superman is voting for?!?! These characters should be above petty politics. It's disgusting.
Rant over.

[Flash's Lightning]

It's one month after the Anti-Life Equation was released worldwide. Millions now toil as slaves of Darkseid, while the Justifier shock troops of Apokolips lay waste to the planet Earth and hunt down its protectors.

I guess we know now where Final Crisis ties into the old JLA Rock of Ages story, huh? Kind of a big thing to ruin. Wish they'd waited to reveal that.

Gail Simone + Secret Six = Joy to you and me

Anyone else amused that they resolicited Winick's Titans #5. Got rid of the 'Princess Clara/ Foxy Love' cover and even changed the solicit heavily. Makes me wonder if everyone bitching about the awful cover and horrible juvenile relationship that Winick is writing actually caused some changes.

And I bet somehow DC is going to sell and hype this better than their gem of a political comic over at WildStorm, Ex Machina. ARGH.

I'd be more pleased if they canceled the book and Judd left DC comics all together. Nothing against him, just against his writing at DC. I actually do want to see him working on his own stuff again, not just see him finally away from DC. Plus having DC's editorial turn books out on time would be nice too. I also hope for world peace and candy to rain down from the skies.
