Wish Suicide Squad were being written by Ostrander. Still like his Deadshot better than anyone else's, including Simone.

[santino27]

I'll be giving Marz' run on Voodoo a shot simply because I liked his Top Cow work. (The art is nice too) Hopefully, it proves worth following. That's it for this batch though.

[Vad Varo]

You think the last time DC redesigned his look with a more metal-ized appearance they would have learned their lesson...sometimes an outfit is just classic (and iconically recognizable) and probably shouldn't be messed with that much... Or do artists really just love drawing all those extra metal bands and bolts around things.

Not saying I hate the new outfit, but it doesn't really seem like an improvement on the old one either (and like many of the DCNu outfits, not as iconic as the original, change for the sake of change...)

King Shark's buggy eyes look great however!

Harley Quinn I think is being matched to her Arkham City counterpart. This Deadshot seems to be a hybrid with the outfit he wore in Batman: Gotham Knights and the one from his mini-series years back.

[SJNeal]

That cover and solicit for Deathstroke have convinced me I made the right decision by not adding it to my pull list. In fact, the only "Edge" title I'm getting is Stormwatch at this point.

[RubberGhost]

Weird that Voodoo was switched from Dark to the Edge.

[Paladin King]

That cover and solicit for Deathstroke have convinced me I made the right decision by not adding it to my pull list. In fact, the only "Edge" title I'm getting is Stormwatch at this point.

You know, I absolutely love the cover, but the solicitation does sound a bit bland/boring. Strangely enough, I had the same reaction to the solicitation for Kyle Higgins' other book, Nightwing. Both books have just gone from pull-list to "try the first issue" status.

Also really, really like the covers for Men of War, All-Star Western, Blackhawks and Stormwatch.

Stormwatch solicitation sounds totally bonkers, which is great. Like the sounds of War and Western too. Blackhawks' fill-in artists have me concerned.

[starman]

I'll be picking up Stormwatch, Grifter and Nen of War for the Edge titles. Still on the fence with Suicide Squad. Everything else is a no.

[santino27]

Harley Quinn I think is being matched to her Arkham City counterpart

They did a lousy job of it then, imo, as they look almost nothing alike, (and the differences are all to the detriment of the comic version). If you look at the cover, there's absolutely no way Harley is not giving whoever in in front of her full-on nipple view. Maybe if they had kept the straps and higher neckline of the Arkham City corset/vest combo it would look a bit less ridiculous.

[Paladin King]

I'll be picking up Stormwatch, Grifter and Nen of War for the Edge titles. Still on the fence with Suicide Squad. Everything else is a no.

Happy to hear that someone else is planning on grabbing Men of War.

[Ben Akers]

Just All-Star Western for me.

[TheDreamingCelestial]

Such a blatant phallus representation on Blackhawks cover! :eek:

Also, Martian Manhunter's costume seems very awkward too.. :-s

Not to be a total negative post: I love how Voodoo #2 looks. I am getting more and more excited about this book. Ah, the nice lady semi-reminds me of Power Girl too, for Basri's sake :)

[CagedLeo730]

Weird that Voodoo was switched from Dark to the Edge.

Voodoo was always Edge. Dark is Vertigo. Edge is Wildstorm

[Professor Arkham]

Can't say any of the Edge line are a must buy for me...probably like the look of Grifter and Stormwatch the most, but will wait to see reviews first.

[santino27]

Apparently, you and I will be the two buyers of Voodoo. :)

:cool:

[Skaddix]

Voodoo was always Edge. Dark is Vertigo. Edge is Wildstorm

That makes sense.

[Mambazo]

Grifter, Stormwatch, and All-Star Western look good. OMAC and Men of War are maybes.

No Marco Rudy on Suicide Squad? Well there goes any reason to read that book.

[CyberCoyote]

OMAC's the one in this line up that had me giddy.. just looks like a wild and fast ride...

[csis]

I actually quite like the cover for Suicide Squad. Harley wielding that enormous hammer is pretty hilarious.

[marvelboy74]

Yay for Jack and the Engineer in Stormwatch, but who's the kid with Angie? No Shen I guess but is that Batallion and ...? I think J'onn is there to infiltrate them and learn how to take them down. Love Apollo's new look.

[Skaddix]

The kid is Jenny quantum. The black guy and the blonde are new characters. I doubt the Martian is there for that

Jenny Quantum (was hoping she was a teenager)

[Jabare]

Apparently, you and I will be the two buyers of Voodoo. :)

:cool:


I'm picking up Voodoo too. If not just for Basari's artwork, he is awesome.


The Allstar Western looks good, If I have extra cash I may indulge.



But I have no clue what is going on in that Deathstroke cover. Is he fighting Transformers now?



And what's with Black Hawks. Is there a robotic Guyver rip-off in that book now?

[Raye]

The kid is Jenny Quantum. The two guys way at the back are, i presume, 2 of the new characters. Which ones, not entirely sure. Seems likely Adam 1 is one of them. But Battallion and other older Stormwatch members have not been mentioned. At least not yet.

[shingi70]

Any thoughts on what happens in superman to have stromwatch come in?

[hondobrode]

I'm getting most of these. In fact, these second issues look even better than the first.

Definitely buying :

Stormwatch
Grifter
Suicide Squad
OMAC
Men of War
Blackhawks
All-Star Western

Passing on :

Deathstroke
Voodoo

Same buys and passes I had before the second solicits.

I can't wait for September !

[Nevets F]

I will get everything here EXCEPT Men of War and OMAC.

[starman]

I will get everything here EXCEPT Men of War and OMAC.

AAAWWWW why not? Men of War looks like it should be good.

LOL pretty much the exact opposite of me

[saidestroyer]

Will you let other people tell you what to like?

[Paladin King]

Will you let other people tell you what to like?

There aren't really many other legal, surefire ways to find out whether the first issue of a series is any good without paying for it first.

[Pizawle]

Most of these titles sound really kooky. I dig it.

Simon Bisley doing the Deathstroke cover is glorious!

[Cavemold]

High five!

[DaveEB]

Stormwatch
Voodoo
Grifter
Men of War
Blackhawks

Out of these those are the titles I'm getting the number ones for and probably number twos...we shall see.

[Frisky Dingo]

I’ll be getting:

• Suicide Squad #2: Well, planning on it but that fill-in already isn't helping the book's cause.
• All-Star Western #2

[116ekg]

Am I the only one who LIKES Harley's new costume? I haven't been a comic fan for long at all so I am not as attached to the old costume as some people are, but I think the new one looks good.

[starman]

You may be. I think they should have copied Harley's new look from Arkham City and been done with it.

I would like to know how Harley's and Stafire's boobs stay attached to their outfits.

[El Sombrero]

Those pants (and boots) are AWESOME

[Skaddix]

Those pants (and boots) are AWESOME

Yeah not a bad look

[shingi70]

I like the crazy emo warped tour look myself. It reminds me of that cute but crazed emo girl i liked in high school who olny listened to evanescence and Breaking benjamin while watching the homicidal maniac.

Only thing is she still connected to the joker.

[Genki Sudo]

Still only getting:

Stormwatch
Grifter
Voodoo
Blackhawks

and maybe Suicide Squad

[starman]

The Joker tattoo on her waist is a nice touch.

[paulski]

Will you let other people tell you what to like?

That's a fairly snarky response, isn't it?

I know that if I'm borderline on seeing a particular movie, I'll read the reviews to get a general idea of whether it's a dud or not - if it's batting 10% on Rotten Tomatoes, chances are it sucks. I'm the one who'll make the ultimate decision but it's nice to have all the information at my disposal.

Surely the same applies to an extent for comic books. :confused:

[IronMagnus]

I like Harley's new look. I've always hated her harlequin/clown costume (which is odd, because I LOVE everything else about Batman The Animated Series). But yeah, new Harley looks great in my book.

[steakdiaper]

"...and we learn why the Martian Manhunter is a member of the team."

umm...so people will buy it?

[allwillbemine]

So little Deathstroke love. I'm digging its British-comics post apocalyptic vibe. If it can give me a dose of that every month I'll be onboard.

OMAC looks weird, in a good way. Big cosmic level action is a surefire way to my heart and it looks like this book might just strike me down.

Suicide Squad looks... well, it looks fun, but I'm not sold yet.

[Tactless Telekinesis]

"The moon is alive!"

Really? 4 pages of discussions and NOBODY has talked about this? The moon is alive? WTF?

[ropeburn39]

The madder Omac gets, the taller his mohawk grows?

[Jim_Gordon]

Stormwatch looks pretty mad, may try it out after all.

[Raye]

"The moon is alive!"

Really? 4 pages of discussions and NOBODY has talked about this? The moon is alive? WTF?

enh. In the Authority they killed god, small potatoes in comparison :tongue:

But seriously yeah, it is odd. I wonder how it will be explained that no one's ever noticed.

What is it with DC and the private place.

Deathstroke love here! :biggrin:

[Raye]

I know, right? that's the second one!

[shingi70]

I know, right? that's the second one!

Third if count the oddly placed jet in the Blackhawks cover.

[ayof]

Agreed on Deathstroke. And the art has Joe Bennett. How can you go wrong? But its just about the only thing I can find interest in for this whole not-a-reboot thing.

[Pixie_Solanas]

Zatanna wearing her boots under pants like some Dress Barn shopping RUBE is disconcerting.

[dupersuper]

Why are DC solicitations for trickling out so slowly?

[Neutrino]

Man, Sami Basri draws women really well. Also, that Men of War cover is really nice.

But... none of these titles is really in the buy column right now. Stormwatch has the best chance. I'll need to consult the dark spirits and also the internet before making any commitments.
