Holy CRAP!!!

I love Artgerm's covers, they are always superb.

[Mr. Holmes]

"Intergalactic date from hell" haha Red Hood sounds awesome as usual. Just that and Batman Inc for me.

[batGRRRl4ever]

I love Artgerm's covers, they are always superb.

I'm still reacting in slack-jawed awe and practically plotzing that this is going to happen!! Can't believe we gotta wait 2 1/2 months for this issue! Also, I just noticed and really like how Artgerm's take on Batgirl's boots shows the stylistic bat at the top as actual shin and knee guards.

[JaHawk2009]

Interesting that there are no cancellations other than JLI...

[El Sombrero]

Most likely just Batman for me. Possibly Inc, Batwoman, Dark Knight, we'll see.

Interesting how a bunch of these titles don't look like they're wrapping up things in time for the zero issue (Inc, Batwoman, Dark Knight, Batgirl, etc). They can always just throw the zero issue in there as an interlude, but it serves as a contrast to the many other DC titles that are all wrapping up big arcs at the same time.

[Reginleif]

Interesting that there are no cancellations other than JLI...

they will all be in the edge and Dark line...

[shingi70]

OH SHIT BATGIRL VS BATWOMAN

BABS FANS AM CRY AS KATE WHOOPS THAT TAIl

[batGRRRl4ever]

OH **** BATGIRL VS BATWOMAN

BABS FANS AM CRY AS KATE WHOOPS THAT TAIl

It's a Batgirl book, so she ain't gonna get nothin' handed to her in her OWN book. As they BOTH have their own books it will probably just be a standard stalemate fight.
