Important things:

Ray Palmer is making his N52 debut on Future's End

The Doom Patrol is debuting for real this time

Aaand NuLobo is back so Red Hood's April cover is either a red herring or DC is loving insane :psyduck:

'Barry tries to repair his fractured relationship with Wally West!' :raise:

That was the cover with old Lobo, right? They're both around unless I missed something. The new one is on Earth to chase the old one (well, in space for United)
I think a Lobo/Lobo versus or team up book could be loads of fun.

He was just a scientist there. I'm guessing he get's pushed into superheroism five years from now and warps back to be our Atom along with BManBeyond.

Because I posted it on my thread, obviously :v:

I don't see why people are getting so upset over it, as far as things go that's a pretty harmless cover, Kory doesn't have glaring anatomic problems, her suit isn't that much different to the one on the previous DCU.

Then again, I wouldn't past DC to be banking on another scandal to secure sales :sigh:

Can we move away from the scandal-baiting stuff and rather talk about how DC is doing 2 weekly comics. I know DC's track record with weeklies are all over the place ranging from the very good (52), to the mediocre (Trinity) to the very bad (Countdown) but have these really been big money earners for DC to justify two weeklies at the same time.

There's a sale on Comixology for the Grant Morrison Animal Man sale at 99cents an issue, as well as the Nu52 issues for the same price. You're going to want to collect the entire Morrison run since it's one of those Morrison things where every little thing adds up and pays off, so if you end up skipping issues you're only cheating yourself.

As far as Nu52 Animal Man goes, everything except Rot World is great. Rot World wasn't awful, it was just long and slow, and required half of Swamp Thing to go along with it.

Shazam's great. It was a backup worth buying some very average issues of Justice League for.

Batman straight up dies in the horrible Brett Booth horizontally drawn Batman/Superman. But I guess, nanomachines.

Animal Man's finale is still under pre-order while the rest are out. How cruel :( Hmm. Never mind you can buy and read it despite that. Time to weep.

edit: Speaking of Jeff Lemire...
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/03/18/greg-paks-batmansuperman-10-is-bumped-by-jeff-lemires-batmansuperman-10/

quote:

As recently with Batgirl, Batman/Superman is going through some changes.

Batman/Superman #10 will be written by Jeff Lemire, with art by Karl Kerschl and Scott Hepburn and a cover by Cameron Stewart.

"In this stand-alone story, a microscopic threat invades the body of The Dark Knight, and it’s up to The Man of Steel and Dr. Ray Palmer to shrink down and eliminate the danger. But what they find will shock you! Get ready for big sci-fi thrills and high-adventure fun as only BATMAN/SUPERMAN can present!"

The solicited story by Greg Pak and Jae Lee, will now be bumped to May’s Batman/Superman #11. And that story by the same creative team bumped to June with Batman/Superman #12.

Neat!

I gotta say the Travel Foreman art in Animal Man today is total garbage. I don't know if it's the coloring or what but it is terrible. It's a real shame because I loved his work on the earlier parts of the book. Jeff Lemire's stuff looks amazing as always though.

I thought Animal Man was kinda weak. I guess it's brave that they stuck to Cliff being dead (unless there's something to read into that spider), but it was really just a recap, sweet as Maxine telling it and Lemire's art was.

This was sure left dangling. Who the heck were these two? Didn't matter?



edit: Also, Maxine could've been a cool kid hero, and I guess that cat in the Justice League Dark teaser can't be Socks. Ah well.

I'm fairly certain this and the Bridgewalker will play a part in Justice League United, considering it's focus on outer-space.

Weird people want sexy Joker. It's why Harley Quinn still exists and her book sells ridiculously well.
