[Jin Kazama]

Getting

-Batman #686
-Detective Comics #853: As with Batman, nice to see Kubert back. He does a really good Batman
-Robin #183: Cover of the Month, easily, and really sucks to see it go.
-Adventure Comics #0: It's $1. Why not?
-Booster Gold #17
-Green Lantern #39: They should probably better establish the Red Lanterns before staring on the Orange ones, but that may just be me.
-Justice League of America #30
-Titans #10
-Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam #4: If it ever decides to come out.
-Tiny Titans #13: If this has stuff that was supposed to be in #12, then what's in #12?:confused:

May Get/Not Getting But Worth Note

-Batman Confidential #26: King Tut? Seriously? I mean, Seriously?
-R.E.B.E.L.S. #1: Wow. That's a random title revival.
-Vigilante #3: I'm off-and-on with this. I guess it all depends on issue #1.

Interesting bit in the solicits this month:


Witness Superboy’s first encounter with three super-powered teens from the 30th Century – Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl!
The first mention of the name Superboy in over two years. Not that I'm interested in the Legion at all, mind, but still, there you go.

[wonderfly]

I'll definitely be getting:

Trinity #36-39
Batman: Gotham after Midnight #10: Huh, I'd forgotten, drawing sexy women isn't Kelley Jones' specialty. (http://www.comicbookresources.com/images/solicits/dccomics/200902/superman_batman/BMGAM-Cv10.jpg)
Booster Gold #17
Scalped #26


On the "maybe I'll get it, maybe I won't" list:

Batman #686 and Detective Comics #853: Neil Gaiman does Batman!!! Can the actual comic live up to the hype?!? Even if it is a let down, it's still Neil Gaiman and Batman, together!!!
Adventure Comics #0: I already own a Legion TPB which reprints this same comic book, so I see no reason to own it...expect perhaps the all new back-up strip may hint at what's coming up for the Legion in the months ahead...and hey, a dollar is a nice price for a comic!
Batman: Haunted Gotham TPB: A rare Doug Moench/Kelley Jones mini-series that hasn't been reprinted till now. And you just can't go wrong with Kelley Jones, (even if he can't draw a sexy Catwoman). :)

Interesting bit in the solicits this month:


The first mention of the name Superboy in over two years. Not that I'm interested in the Legion at all, mind, but still, there you go.

Pretty sure their solicitations have mentioned Superboy's name during the past few years, just (as is the case here) in the context of reprints...

Since I already own several reprints of the Legion's first appearance, I won't be buying this one.

As for this month's other solicitations: I'm considering buying:
Batman: The Brave and the Bold #2
Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam #4

[jlaking]

Comics I will be getting:

BATMAN #686
DETECTIVE COMICS #853
THE OUTSIDERS #15
ADVENTURE COMICS #0
BOOSTER GOLD #17
GREEN ARROW/BLACK CANARY #17
BLACK LIGHTNING: YEAR ONE #3-4
GREEN LANTERN #39
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #30
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #24
TEEN TITANS #68

My comments:

- Those are nice (http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/preview2.php?image=solicits/dccomics/200902/dcu/BM-Cv686var.jpg) covers (http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/preview2.php?image=solicits/dccomics/200902/dcu/DTC-Cv853_NEW.jpg) for the Neil Gaiman/Andy Kubert Batman issues. Not sure if I'm in for either one, but maybe.

- re: Batman Confidential #26. King Tut? Really?

- With the end of Birds of Prey (nice cover, BTW (http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/preview2.php?image=solicits/dccomics/200902/dcu/BOP-Cv127.jpg)), I hope someone picks up Lady Blackhawk and does cool things with her. Maybe Gail Simone can write her into Wonder Woman or something.

- I'm torn on the final Checkmate TPB, but leaning towards no. I really enjoyed the Greg Rucka run on it, but I think the major reason why was Rucka. Haven't heard much about Bruce Jones' stint.

- re: Super Friends #12:

Yo-ho, me hearties! The Super Friends have never faced a challenge like this before! What will they do when confronted with the menace of Starro and the Pirates?
Bwah-hah-hah-hah!!

- Bang! Tango sounds like fun, but count me in for the trade, if at all.

- Judging by the reviews around the Internet, I may have been the only person in the world who liked Air, but I felt that way about the Cairo graphic novel that G. Willow Wilson wrote before that, too. So count me in for the Air TPB.

- New Jack of Fables TPB is a given.

Wow. 2 TPBs and maybe 2 comics. Small small month for DC for me.

TRINITY #36-39
BOOSTER GOLD #17
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #33
GREEN LANTERN #39 - Love the cover (http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/preview2.php?image=solicits/dccomics/200902/dcu/GL-Cv39.jpg).

I wonder if my DC lists will ever be able to match my Marvel lists...

[rggkjg1]

i put off doing this because i know when i copy and paste what i'm getting, the letters will get messed up and look like this:

TRINITY #36-39
BATMAN #686
DETECTIVE COMICS #853
SUPERMAN #685
BATMAN CONFIDENTIAL #26 - i hope this will take place in a dick grayson robin era.
ROBIN #183
ACTION COMICS #874
ADVENTURE COMICS #0
SUPERGIRL #38
SUPERMAN/BATMAN #56
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #30
TITANS #10
WONDER WOMAN #29

hmmm. i guess the copying and pasting worked right for once. DC COMICS CLASSICS LIBRARY: BATMAN — THE ANNUALS HC looks like a complete waste. i thought the whole point of "dc comics classics library" was to reprint never before collected multi issue stories/arcs before it was common practice to write longer stories. maybe there aren't as many longer stories from the 40's-70's as i thought.

[sleepydumbdude]

Probably Superman/Batman and for sure Justice Society of America. I just picked up the Kingdom Come special, I didn't know it was a JSA comic. Like it and went out and picked up the last 20 issues and read them this past weekend. I like the Gog/Magog story line going on.
