Some more March covers to get you through the day

The holidays are in full swing, and with that in mind, we decided it’d be nice of us to unveil a few more March covers, all of which will hit later today. Take a look at upcoming covers for WONDER WOMAN, SECRET SIX, DOOM PATROL, JONAH HEX, BOOSTER GOLD and more below.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The full-size images don't seem to work for me. But what little I can see in the thumbnails is encouraging. I've lost most of my interest in the higher-tier DC characters, but REBELS and Secret Six never let me down.

The finale in the war against the new Starro the Conqueror! Can super-genius Vril Dox, Adam Strange and their grizzled band of rebels possibly gain victory against a mega-army from nine galaxies?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Man, this series is so great. Literally its only drawback so far has been giving Starro a humanoid leader, but I'm mostly over even that.

 

[yenaled]

I can't believe I'm over it. It's a perfectr case of good writing validating bad ideas.

his origin in the annual made it much easier to accept i think

 

[Speedball]

So I got the blackest night REBELS comics, and really enjoyed them. Otu of all the tie-ins, id have to say this was one of my faves.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, REBELS had a really great tie-in.

Preview: R.E.B.E.L.S. #12

In the aftermath of their BLACKEST NIGHT encounter, Vril Dox and his team realize they must kill Starro the Conqueror. It's a job that requires three dangerous missions led by Dox, Captain Comet and Adam Strange, who will face loss, treachery and the overwhelming might of Starro's conquering horde.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, REBELS had a really great tie-in.

I was pretty impressed with it. The only other tie-ins I got were the Doom Patrol ones (which sucked) and the Batman mini (which is good until the last issue which basically made me regret buying it). REBELS was much better than either of those, actually picking up the series regularly now. Well, off the shelves, haven't officially added it to my list as of yet. Probably will soon if the next few issues continue to impress

Straight from the pages of TITANS, Starfire joins our merry band just in time for super-genius Vril Dox to pick up the pieces from last issue’s climactic battle with Starro the Conqueror. First on his agenda: rebuild his interplanetary police squad, L.E.G.I.O.N.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hmm, the Starro arc's gonna be pretty much done by April, then? I thought it'd go on longer. But I'll be happy to see it end.

“What Happens in Vega...” part 2! In the wake of cosmic cataclysm, super-genius Vril Dox rebuilds his space police force L.E.G.I.O.N., his latest world-shaking move putting him right in the cross hairs of everyone across the Vega Sector. But they’ll have to get in line behind the wrath of Blackfire!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

LEGION's back! Man, I really, really hope there's a jurisdictional conflict with the Green Lantern Corps after everything settles down post-Blackest Night. That would be awesome, seeing Vril verbally thrashing Kyle and Salaak.

[greenrage36]

Just got up to date with Rebels the other day...damn fine arc with Starro I do say!

Glad I was recommended to follow this one...between this and Nova I'm getting my cosmic ya-ya's out, baby!!!!

On a side note...curious to see what's gonna happen with Lryrl (sp?)..I like the father/son dynamic..or lack thereof..
..and I was thinking the same thing about a possible jurisdiction clash with the GL corps..can't wait to see if that happens to pan out...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm sure they'll follow up on the Lyrl plot at some point. Starro's finally out of the picture, so I'm expecting the series to really pick up now. I never liked the "new" Starro.

 

[greenrage36]

Hmmm..what didn't you like about the Starro? The fact that they opted to actually "humanoid" him/it? I admit, I was a little suprised when the final 'Starro' was revealed, but overall, was pretty cool with their explanation..(as was mentioned earlier...reading the annual helped, at least in my case it did).

I do agree though..I think the series has many, many options on where to go next, and it's just gonna get better!!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I didn't like the change from enigmatic space starfish to 'roided-out space Conan.

REBELS is like 30 Rock, where Vril Dox = Alec Baldwin. So long as he's there, it'll always be good.

 

[The Eagle Host]

I preferred Grant Morrison's take on Starro.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

From way back in JLA? I don't remember it too well. Starro was giant-sized and covering half a planet. That's about all I remember.
