I'm really glad to see trades of the Superman Adventures comics coming out! The stories and art were easily some of the best "Adventures" work ever printed...

...if you haven't read these, give them a look! Anyone know if the comics will have a foreword or introduction by someone as a bonus?

I'm really glad to see Ethen Beavers back on JLU. If I recall correctly, he also provided the art for the Royal Flush Gang and Darkseid issues, which were lovely (if not particularily well written). With Ty's covers also on the way, maybe there might be a reason for me to remember this title when in bookstores.

Teen Titans Go! is an odd series. It has good writing, good art, and seems to make a conscious effort to stay in continuity with the show. And yet I don't read it. I guess the fact that it's mainly aimed at kids (and you can't convince me otherwise, what with those little riddles and other cutsie stuff, which are cute, but I digress) that keeps me from making the purchase. Anyhoo, hope those whjo are reading it are enjoying it. Maybe I'll pick up a trade one day...

I'm looking forward to all of them. Especially, the older Superman Advetnures being reprinted in it's mini-version, comic books. :anime:

[Silly McGooses]

Wow, they're still printing the Superman digests? cool! Those were some great stories.

[FALLEN ELDOR]

Dude Space Cabby! :eek: Talk about old school silver age fun! :D

The Batman Strikes has a great cover for February! Very sharp! I'm also glad to see more digests from Superman Adventures, probably the best Superman comic of the last ten years. As for Justice League, any idea when Templeton will provide the cover art?

do you think we will get more superman dijests? what about batman adventures?

[adoptedBatpuppy]

I think it's a strong possibility! ;)

[James Harvey]

do you think we will get more superman dijests? what about batman adventures? More Batman Adventures-themed digests are in the works for, hopefully, 2006. New digests for Justice League Unlimited, Teen Titans, and Superman Adventures will be peppered throughout 2006. Oddly enough, I can't get a confirmation for any Batman Beyond digests.
