    *crickets*

    I'm interested in 8 of these Flashpoint tie-ins but i haven't added any of them to my June DCBS order list. I might just trade wait them all based on reviews, i don't have a lot of confidence in the quality of these books and they seem more like editorial mandates than " i have a good idea for a book".

    Why is DC so keen on fridging its women?

    And an example of that in Flashpoint thus revealed is...?

    As it stands, I'm pretty excited for Batman: Knight of Vengence and Frankenstein. Deathstroke has me oddly excited as well, and Legion of Doom's cover is amazing.

    I cant imagine the deathstroke one was anything other than a writer going "Dude! Hes got a eyepatch so what if instead of being a ninja... he was a pirate?!"

    That DOES look like Constantine. Plus, we already saw a grimy looking blonde in a trenchcoat on the cover to the first Lois Lane issue...

    This just looks like a bunch of What if? type stories with a heavy Marvel Ultimates universe knock off feel.

    Lol its only for a mini.

    Still looks like Cyborg has been busy, he seems to have chucked a lot of criminals into the nearest cell.

    They all seem to play into one of 2 plots- the cyborg is america's greatest hero thread or the aquaman and wonder woman are evil thread.
