DC Comics Solicitations for July, 2012

[Kikaider]

That Demon Knights cover is brilliant. Too bad that isn't how they look all the time.
Good to see the OMAC trade will have all eight issues of the series. I hope that title gets another shot at life in the near future. I would settle for a mini every year!
Captain Atom has regained his human appearance! Nice.

i read the first 3 or 4 issues of captain atom and thought it was pure garbage. the only other book of the new 52 i've read and thought was worse was mr. terrific. i still have to catch up on superman, issues 5-7, but i've read enough of jurgens that i know that i don't want to read it.

Wow, how different can people's tastes be.

I dropped Mr. Terrific, but to me, Captain Atom is far, far from garbage.

I think it's one of the best books DC puts out.

Jurgens isn't writing Superman, he's drawing it, and it looks fantastic. Giffen is writing it. You ought to give it a shot before judging it.

Jurgens is co-writing. But on this July solicit,it looks like he's the sole writer.

I agree. It's had some really great moments concerning what it means to be a hero that don't involve slugging someone.

So far as the solicits go, I'm most happy to see Tallulah Black returning in All-Star Western and the Green Lantern/Green Arrow trade. The latter is a definite purchase for me.

exactly, if it had giffen i might give it a try but with jurgens writing and helping with art, i'm out.

I didn't notice that before. I pretty much assumed Giffen was still on, since he just got on.

Giffen is off the book after only a few issues?

What's going on?

[Paladin King]

What happened to the other Before Watchmen books this month? Are these being released on an alternating cycle?

Under Absolute Final Crisis, anyone know what the 'SEVEN NEW STORY PAGES' are going to be?

yeah, the release schedule for Before Watchmen surprised me a bit as well. I thought we'd be getting first issues of the Rorschach and Doctor Manhattan series, but we're not, meanwhile Nite Owl takes the month off so the Ozymandias series can debut.

Wonder what the particular logic to this is.

[Rixec]

Blue Beetle #11 looks AWESOME!!!

Paco and Brenda looking for Jaime AND the Blue & Gold?! Sounds like this could definitely increase sales!

Its DC's new weekly. One issue of Before Watchmen per week for 35 weeks.

I certainly hope so! I love this book and I don't want to see it get cancelled!

[Steve Lightle]

I really like those Batgirl covers. Thanks for sharing them.

[Movieartman]

That Demon Knights cover is brilliant.

Thank you sir thank you very much

We now have an idea how Skeletor and his minions would look like.

Oh man that is gonna be Phenomenal!

[Jabare]

The Justice League cover was weak. We don't get the team just Batman and Supes and its not even fully covered we get the laer vision red for 68% of the cover.

[blopblopblop]

uh-oh - those issue numbers are getting awfully high! All that continuity is going to get too intimidating!
Better reboot them all back to #1, lest DC lose all the mythological 'new readers' from the past year.

Yea it's pretty terrible ... Meh.
