DC Solicits for April PREVIEW

[Eros]

Well at least we'll know what happened to the Dick/Babs marriage in April.

Yea Babs saw an old picture of Dick in his old pixie/pantsless Robin outfit, and could not marry anyone who ran around Gotham in that.

Except she was hitting that when he was wearing that.

 

[Eros]

Except she was hitting that when he was wearing that.

Now she regrets it.

 

[Darthphere]

Now she regrets it.

No, she doesn't. Stop now. Your joke failed.

 

[Eros]

No, she doesn't. Stop now. Your joke failed.

His old Robin outfit is also failed joke.

 

[Darthphere]

His old Robin outfit is also failed joke.

Man, I would pay good money to see someone kick your ass in that outfit.

 

[Eros]

Man, I would pay good money to see someone kick your ass in that outfit.

I will pay for you, I deserve an ass beating if I am caught in those old Robin threads.

 

[Darthphere]

Wow, the joke went over your head so badly.

Although I agree the composition of the cover for the Annual is shoddy, it kinda reminds me of something we would see on a trapeze artist poster; maybe that was the intention. I fail to see the big stink about Robin's old costume. Do people really want history to be soooo homogenized that it all looks a lot like our present? How boring! I'd like to see people's reactions if comics fashions went into retro cycles like they did in real life. You don't have to like everything about the past...those that forget about it are doomed to repeat it.

Wow, the joke went over your head so badly.

even I come up with better come backs

The Batgirl/Robin cover is drawn very well, with incredible perspective, and its nice to see the old design drawn in the new style (I'd liked to see Superman like that)
but the thing that is bad, real bad, about it is Robin's costume. Even when it first was designed it was pretty bad. No way does wearing short short speedo type shorts, bare legs, and pixie shoes, help you fight crime. Plus it brings to mind, my mind anyway, all the flaws in the Robin character from the past.
But the cover is nicely drawn, figuring out perspective and poses like that is hard.
So I hope the cover doesn't mean that Robin is going to start wearing the old costume

I also like the Question cover, and its graffiti style. Like something from a revolution movement in the comic book world or something.
and I like the Amazon Attack and the Dr. Fate cover.

 

[Harlekin]

The Dr. Fate and Question cover are awesome. I like the Annual cover myself, although I don't really like the faces.

I really hope we get as much pixie boots and shorts action as possible, just to piss of all the haters.

My name is GAH, and I'm so ******ed, I can't make up my own jokes. Hyuck.

 

[GNR]

Gugg's Flash looks to be a series of done in ones.

don't you have a friend/neighbor who is mentally challenged? hmm how tasteful of you.

 

[The Punisher]

The Dr. Fate solict looks great. I'm on board for the new series, should be awesome.

 

[BrianWilly]

Two Wonder Woman issues and one trade, all in a single month?? Reality itself trembles at this unorthodoxy! I've never seen her look more like Lucy Lawless than on that HC cover, though.

Didn't notice until now how much I was looking forward each month to each new Ion solicit. Alas, no more...and, and, and we just didn't have enough time together!

What the cck is Freddy Freeman still doing in the Middle East? How long is this miniseries supposed to last, anyway? How much time of our time is Winick trying to waste??

Teen Titans cover...is it just me, or is Bizarro Superboy...I mean, Match's S-shield pretty conveniently blotted-out by steamy white steam, likely generated from the heat of his torrid, frenzied threesome with Tim and Cassie?

 

[Darthphere]

don't you have a friend/neighbor who is mentally challenged? hmm how tasteful of you.

Yeah, he's smarter than you.

 

[Darthphere]

I'm telling you, this book is worth checking out.
