Haha, the fact that Bart's now an adult and Inertia's still just a kid makes that Flash cover look like the Flash likes abusing children. 
****ing Christ, just when I thought Winick couldn't **** Green Arrow up anymore... he brings in the Red goddamn Hood. I'm so dropping this book after the current "missing year" arc finishes up and replacing it with Connor's mini-series. They should've just named that Connor Hawke: The Good Green Arrow instead of Dragon's Blood.
Speaking of which, Dragon's Blood #3 looks... odd. Is that Shado who appears to be trying to eat Connor's lip?
JLA Classified so rocks the new JLA series. With Slott's arc coming up after Chaykin's, which has itself been very good, I'm really happy that someone decided this series would be a good idea. The JLA rules when it's not populated by losers.
While Chaykin's writing has been good on JLAC (except for his portrayal of Wally, anyway), his art still sucks. What the hell made him think that that bloated, out of proportion Blue Beetle on Manhunter's cover looked good?
I really hope that Mystery in Space cover isn't the final one. It's credited to Davis on the solicitation, but it's very clearly Starlin's art, which I've never liked much. I hope Davis just hadn't finished his cover yet or something.
Damn, Winick is so incredibly gay for the Red Hood. I wish he liked better characters. Oh, but I don't read Outsiders and I'm ditching GA, so what do I care?
Derenick and Etrigan make me want to pick up Shadowpact again...
I hope the Spectre eats Batman.
What the **** is going on in Trials? And why isn't the Red Hood involved? Did Winick not write Trials for that month or something? I know it can't be some sense of restraint.
Titans East will so suck.
It's surprising that this is possible, but Grunge actually looks lamer on the cover to the new Gen13 than he ever did in the old Gen13. Caldwell's suckage amazes me.
Sprouse's Midnighter cover, on the other hand, reeks of awesome.
Tranquility's cover looks cool, but I'm dying to see what the Kerschl variant looks like. I wish it were a 50/50 variant so it'd be the same price. I'd definitely buy it.
The solicitation for The Boys makes it sound like Tek Knight might be the first of the elements to "out-Preacher Preacher" that Ennis promised.
Holy ****ing hell. Fables with Allred art. My pants will never come uncreamed again... The seventh cub's return should be good, too.
I may get that Stardust TPB if I have the money. I always meant to read that.

The more I find out about the Trials of Shazam, the less excited I am for it. Yes, let's give Captain Marvel Jr. some guns and drop him in the Middle East!
No. Just...no.

And should I just give up on Heinberg ever finishing his Wonder Woman run? At this rate, we're about to see more of WW in other people's books (JLA, Manhunter) than we've seen her in her own.

Hahaha, the prospect of Phere as the Hype's English teacher is both amusing and horrifying.Assassin said:

Honestly, do you think you're cool or something for using his real name ever other post? It just makes you look like a crack baby that was dropped on its head three or four times...Assassin said:

I made a couple, but it doesn't seem like they caught on. Let me try again with a little less subtlety:Darthphere said:
Winick is totally gay for the Red Hood and puts him in every comic he writes.
We'll see if they bite this time.

Winick better explain why Red Hood isn't a ****ing Octopus.
I'm still liking Ostrander on Batman, such a good move and I knew it wouldn't be long till a new Ventriloquist gets brought back in ... could have waited a bit longer though Dini.
Busiek's superior in every possible way to the Johns/Donner bore Superman looks interesing shame I can't say the same for Aquaman with a resolit.
I'm going to be sticking with Blue Beetle, Metron is a great character and I want to see where the mystery goes - only with it would hurry up.
I find Shadowpact a weird choice to crossover with Checkmate and I find it a bit soon but I'm sure it will work.
Jonah Hex origin - yay.
Keith Champagne on Corps - yay.
Ion - Tangent? - yay.
Connor "I'm better than my dad because I am not written by Winick" Hawke - yay.
Slott on JLA - yay.
Mystery in Space aka best Sci-Fi in years - yay.
Tales of the Unexpected and more importantly Dr. 13 backup - yay.
The Spirit the cover is amazing Darwyn Cooke is a legend - yay.
Uncle "the only good thing to come out of Brave New World" Sam - yay.
What is going on with Trials/Green Arrow/Outsiders ... Winick is an idiot.
JSA crossover with Hawkgirl - boo.
Horrible, HORRIBLE cover for Manhunter.
Hopefully JSA and Teen Titans will have a good pace and no JLA... delays already?
Mike Allred cover for Fable is amazing.
I'll get the American Way trade and I'm tempted by the Red Menace too and the Boys is a must. No sign of Astro City though.

To which I say, "F***ing YES!" Allred will rock Fabletown.
