A back up for Green lantern corps! Sweet.
Booster gold is going to be cheaper for me now. I will miss the Blue beetle and Manhunter back up tales.
The question is still going strong. Good."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.

It doesn't look like anything momentous here, just a bit of shuffling.
Looking forward to the Archie's.“You don’t understand. I’m not trapped in here with you. You’re trapped in here with me.” – Rorschach

I'm really excited about Mr. Justice! I love his look.
Also, I hope the back-up in GL Corps are of either lesser GL's or of characters from the other corps.

Ironically, I'm going to drop Doom Patrol now that Metal Men is off of it, since that co-feature was the main selling point for me.

I found myself really digging Blue Beetle, so I'll miss that. But I'm more concerned about the change in creative team for Booster Gold. Dan Jurgens is the main reason I'm reading the book.
I hope the GLC back-up is as good as the main feature.Free your soul and let it fly....

None of this good news except the Question staying unchanged and backups in GLC.

Nice idea they have for a revolving door co-feature for the Titans. Hopefully, they could go outside the current roster and maybe do something with the more neglected teen heroes.
I'm eagerly awaiting the Fox, but I think DC should've put the new Red Circle features on a better selling book.

Backups (I mean, co-features) as tryouts?
Good way for new folks to hone their skills?

I'll put $5 on it focusing on Kyle, Guy, or both.

They're taking away Metal Men and Blue Beetle, probably the two best co-features?
I hope they give Blue Beetle another series, or I'm dropping most of my DC books.

I hope their collection plans include BLUE BEETLE, collecting the last few issues of the ongoing and the entire backup feature run.
And I'm hoping the GLC co-feature will be a rotating group of characters - maybe one-off stories featuring different Corpsmen each issue, like the TotGLC backups of old. That would make the book even more valuable to me.
