Not a single response? Maybe its time for a bloodletting.

If Mia and Connor fall into limbo... i'm dropping GA/BC forgood..

That Batman cover may be the single best piece of art Alex Ross has ever produced.

All Star Batman and Robin #12 - if it ships.

Detective #851 & Batman #684

I'm actually starting to like the sound fo Denny O'Neill's Batman story. Seems like Nightwing is out on his own, especially with Tim going awol, as is suggested in the Robin solicits.

That would be the one massive upside of Batman R.I.P, for me. A lot more Dick Grayson, in the Batman books, JLA, Outsiders etc. That is, of course, if he does become Batman.

And yeah, that's a beautiful cover on Batman #684.

Yeah, there is a lot of Nightwing love in those solicits, which is good news for me, since he and Kyle Raynor are my two favorite DC characters.

Frankly, I'm surprised Flash #247 isn't solicited with the words "Final issue." Maybe they've got a couple of more months before Flash: Rebirth, or maybe they're actually planning to pick it up again afterward? I've been assuming we'll see either Flash vol.1 #351 or Flash vol.3 #1 once the dust settles, but figured volume 2 was going to be toast.

Or maybe they're just pretending that it's a secret that the book is ending.

My favourite, too. Hopefully, if Nightwing does become Batman, he takes over Batman's role fully, so we get several books a month featuring the character.

And also, is Batman & Superman out of regular continuity? Super-powered Dark Knight opposed by his original protege?

Yay for Etrigan appearing in the Superman/Batman vs Vampires and Werewolves book! And another yay for the Creature Commandos in Action Comics! FUN.

Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade looks great. So does the Vixen book.

And as a new Legion of Super Heroes fan I am very much looking forward to the Death of Ferro Lad collection.

Comic books? Like on paper and stuff? They still publish those?

I thought everything just went right to bittorrent.

Never seen so many unfinished covers in a month's worth of solicitations. Wonder if there is some kind of reason for that.

Howard Porter on Titans? Thank goodness they're doing something...

Huge death spoiler over on JLA (if you looked at the cover). There's a certain fan who is not going to be happy about it....
