I gotta get my shop to get me the Dale variants on JSA for regular price, because theyre kicking Alex Ross cover's ass.

 

[twylight]

...The JLA doesn't fully 'come back' till #7?

No offense but that title is moving slower than molassas in January.

Also I love the arc for JSA, it sounds like it'll be fun to read, and hopefully there will be cameos

Also..the covers are gorgeous.

*also Teen Titans looks kickin' too.

 

[Darthphere]

I like how the Dodson's skidaddled after heinberg's run.

 

[twylight]

I am so over Turner's JLA varient covers.

They just don't appeal to me and I don't find them heart-stopping-I-have-to-have-it sort of art.

 

[Mee]

The 52 covers are so awesome.

 

[GNR]

Okay really,the JLA better at least be formed before #5 and 6.7 issues to form a team is just ridiculous,I don't care who is writing it.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

DAMAGE rockin the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sethcohen]

Okay really,the JLA better at least be formed before #5 and 6.7 issues to form a team is just ridiculous,I don't care who is writing it.

this is why JSA>JLA

 

[deathshead2]

Dang I hope my LCS still has copys of JSA I need to strat picking this up.

WONDER WOMAN #6
Written by Jodi Picoult

Aw, F**K.

 

[CConn]

Aw, F**K.

You knew it was coming.

Ah well, here's hoping she doesn't totally suck.

 

[BrianWilly]

I was hoping that Heinberg would take so long that DC would change their minds at some point. Also, there was never any official announcement, so its officialness was always a little up in the air.

At least it's not going to be late anymore. Although I'd much rather it be late than suck. But maybe it won't suck...the storyline looks halfway interesting, like the woman actually got around to reading a few Wonder Woman books since last we heard...at which point she had read none

. And hey, Drew Johnson's work on WW was amazing. I'll reserve judgment until after reading it, but my hopes are kind of the opposite of up right now.

 

[CConn]

In that original interview, didn't Picoult say she's really busy at the moment(before even taking on WW writing duties)? That made me really nervous about delays.

 

[Namor]

TT cover looks pretty cool.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

woah woah woah, the WW solicit says she has to relearn being a human woman again? if shes human, then who the **** is in the justice league? or are brad and heinberg not comunicating with each other?

 

[BrianWilly]

The solicit also says that she's still Wonder Woman. Obviously, relearning how to be a human woman is a figurative expression.

 

[Darthphere]

Good God, Picoult.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

The solicit also says that she's still Wonder Woman. Obviously, relearning how to be a human woman is a figurative expression.

that does'nt make sense.... i mean it does, but why the **** would she want to do that? and i kinda feel cheated. if your gonna go through a 5 issue arc, yeling out whos wonder woman, and we end up knowing that she still is WW. i actually want something to happen(like donna troy replacing her). seems like a waste of 15 bucks.

they need to go aquaman route on this book, if theyre gonna start playing whose who.

 

[Darthphere]

You got issue #4 and 5 already?!!?!?!?!


Drop the book. Its that easy.

 

[The Leaguer]

Heinberg's run has ranged from crap to bland. I'm looking forward to the new girl.

 

[Darthphere]

That describes Morrison's run on Batman for me perfectly.

 

[SpideyInATree]

I love the solicitation for 52...

"In the month to come...death and destruction will reign in the DCU"

I mean...no offense to the person who came up with THAT brain buster but isn't death and destruction what's been the entire basis for the DCU for the PAST TWO YEARS?!?!

Or am I out of line here?

 

[Assassin]

world war 3

 

[Mee]

That describes Morrison's run on Batman for me perfectly.

It was pretty disappointing.

I wouldn't call it crap though.
