The last hurrah of the post-Crisis, pre-DCnU (well, there's also some pre-Crisis stuff, too, it looks like).

Yup. All of the '70s one-shots plus a few of the '80s, I guess.

I'll be picking up several of these RetroActive titles (hate the title, love the concept).

As if I needed my decision to buy the Giffen/DeMatteis/Maguire JLA one-shot cemented any further, this preview look at the art did it just nice.

Hey, if there's a second wave of these, can the 90s Batman be by Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan?

Pretty please? Mend whatever's broken between DC and Dixon, and there's gold, I tell you! Gold!

Good to see Ben Abernathy still has a job.

[Byzantine]

I still miss Kyle's old costume.

Boy those Superman pages looked gorgeous to me. I cannot wait until next month.

Superman looks cool! And...there's Clark, Lois, Perry and Franklyn Stern the publisher....just can't wait!

Yeah, Dixon/Nolan Batman would be awesome. Really, there are dozens of creative teams and titles I'd love to see brought back. I hope they do another wave of these at some point.

In the meantime, I'm getting all of these ones.

MULLET SUPERMAN! Why did he ever get a haircut?

And... HOW? :)

[Jody Garland]

He got a haircut when he was depowerd during the Final Night. Yes, they actually felt the need to explain how Superman got rid of the supermullet.

[Mat001]

Because his hair is invulnerable and thus any pair of scissors will break. Thus when they wanted to cut his hair for his wedding, they used "Final Night" to get it done.
