Star Girl looks fun!

I like the idea of a TT book but the art is a little TOO wacky / street style. If they could maintain a slightly more composed look I'd be more in for a read.

JLU is the only animated book I regularly flip through and occasionally buy.

Wacky / street style? The art inside the issues is awesome, albeit slightly deveating from the models from the show. The covers are always way-out there, but I don't mind em' too much--most of the time I love them. But the interior art is always pretty sweet...

A quick note: That's a typo in the TTG #21 solicit and it should only read G.A.R. and Garzilla. We also took out "gun" from the name of the weapon. But I guess the solicitation people didn't see the revised write-up.

[Salvor]

Wow so much talent on these covers... from Cheeks to Mastuda, not to mention Ben C... my favorite is the Batman one, looks reeaaally awesome :eek:

Why do they show Terra in TEEN TITANS GO! VOL. 3: BRING IT ON!

[Bird Boy]

Why do they show Terra in TEEN TITANS GO! VOL. 3: BRING IT ON!

Because she was on the cover of the issue that the cover for the TPB is used for. In addition, she appears in #11 and #12, both of which are in the new Volume. That, and out of the issues the new TPB covers, the cover it uses (#12) is the only one to feature all the Titans. Short of drawing a new cover, there's not much else they could do...

Why is the info for the July issue of The Batman Strikes! the same as the info for last month?

They solicited the information wrong last month; #10 is apparently not done by the same crew. Hopefully we'll be able to snag cover and a full comic description before it hits. We're trying to, anyway...

I'm not knocking the art at all, just saying it doesn't draw me in as much as some other books.

In a lot of newer books I often see a blend of anime and graffiti/street art influence in the style and I see some of that reflected in the art of Teen Titans Go.

I also find that the anime Super Deformed style asides (Giant head popping in to the corner of the book, someone having a tantrum etc) work better in the series.

I gotcha! Thanks for the info!

I think it's cool that Star Girl is being featured in Justice League Unlimited. Ever since Geoff Johns did such great work on the character, both in her own series and in JSA, I've been a big fan. Hopefully she'll get a speaking role in the animated series someday.

[Anthonynotes]

Only one I'd probably be interested in would be "Teen Titans Go!", a book I haven't read before, but figure it ought to be as entertaining as the cartoon is.

(Geez, "The Batman" gets his own comic?!)

[Harley_Quinn]

I recall b.t. saying that they plan to do something with Stargirl someday...
Cool, I don't know anything about the character but I love the design
