Now that we get the superman and batman and green lantern solicts in advance, There is hardly much more for me to look out for!
well secret six, powergirl and animal man sound and look cool.
No trades or hardcovers for me that month, it's just as well i get most of the stuff in singles then.
What the eff is going on with those titans books? they sound awful.
Flash rebirth is shaping up nicely.
The only final crisis afermath book that excited me is the INK one. The art and premise sounds great and I like the character.
No interest anymore in brave and the bold until a solid writing team comes onboard.
The re circle stuff sounds interesting.
Booster gold is class.
Anyways another huge month for me!
Blackest night is going to be epic."You can't trust them as poets either. The true poet is anonymous, as to his habits, but these boys have to look, act, and apparently smell like poets"
Flannery O'Connor on the beats.

I'd really like to know what are Walt Simonson' currents projects..
I'm glad to see him over 'Vigilant' covers but it's a considerable waste of talent, considering how wonderful he could be onto...I don't know, Adam Strange, Booster Gold or Solomon Grundy......
( and WOW : Peter Milligan and Andrew Clark on Batman !!! )

Brave and the Bold stood out the most for me in this month's solicitations. John Rozum's Xombi series from Milestone back in the '90s was the best title in a line filled with excellent titles as well as the true spiritual heir of Morrison's Doom Patrol run. To hear that Rozum and Xombi would be entering the DCU in a tale also featuring the Spectre was great, especially on the day that I learned that Marvel is cancelling their current best MU title.
Looking forward to the Doom Patrol series, too, as well as more Wednesday Comics.

Well, Walt is writing both "Etrigan and Catwoman" for Wednesday Comics and World of Warcraft for Wildstorm, but there has been the rumor floating around that he is working on The Judas Coin Western OGN that he teased in Modern Masters, vol. 8: Walt Simonson. The info came from Dean Haspiel, who used to be Walt's assistant, after a visit to Simonson's home, but no official announcement has been made yet.

Looking forward to Blackest Night being well underway and reading the majority of its tie-ins. Outside of that, though, there's nothing I'm not already getting that really stirs my enthusiasm.

I haven't had the chance to check out the solicits thoroughly yet, just briefly last night.
Two things that caught my eye on a quick run through though(besides Adventure Comics)
Woot! a Warlord Showcase, and the Legion of 3 worlds HC.
I went back through the past few months and I'm wondering something is Dc Direct not doing any more props from the JLA Trophy Case?
I recently bought the bat-signal and I have Superman's Cape. My next purchase will be the Green Lantern's Lantern and ring. I was hoping they would be doing something for Flash(maybe his ring), Wonder Woman, maybe Aquaman's trident, Hawman's mace...

Golly, they're reprinting Cosmic Odyssey.
Re-reading Kirby's Demon, Matt Wagner's Demon mini and the beginning of Alan Grant's Demon ongoing recently made me wonder what happened between the mini and the ongoing to put the Demon back into Jason Blood. Much to my surprise, it happened in a 1988 mini I had read but remembered nothing about: Cosmic Odyssey by Jim Starlin and Mike Mignola. So I dug it out and re-read it.
Actually, I browsed it. I found it so bad I could hardly make myself focus on it. This is where Starlin's horrible ideas were born that lead to Death of New Gods (DONG) and Countdown (DONT!).
Orion is a bigot. Darkseid is a mad scientist. John Steward is an idiot, J'onn J'onnz is a bastard. Anti-Life is a black blotch. Batman seems to have a crush on Forager. The plot is thin, the major turning points basically seem to happen "because Starlin says so". When Dr. Fate, Darkseid, Highfather, Orion and Etrigan form a mystical pentagram, the description of where Fate's, Etrigan's and Darkseid's power originate has little to nothing to do with the actual origins of those characters.
Aghk.My blog.
We struggled against apartheid in South Africa, supported by people the world over, because black people were being blamed and made to suffer for something we could do nothing about; our very skins. It is the same with sexual orientation. It is a given.

I quite liked Cosmic Odyssey. Certainly one of Starlin's best works for me.
And what did J'onn do wrong?
