Comments:

- Grodd vs. Monsieur Mallah and the Brain. I'm almost sad I haven't been following Salvation Run.

- re: Booster Gold #0. A Zero Hour tie-in? I'm sure I'm missing something about this, or I'm having flashbacks. I'm not sure which would be more confusing.

- I love Cliff Chiang.

- That's certainly an interesting cover to Detective Comics #841. Hey, if the short, shrimpy, bald guy with glasses doesn't work, replace him with a hot blonde woman.

- Cool cover to Blue Beetle #24.

- Seeing as there doesn't seem to be a forthcoming "Jack Kirby's OMAC Omnibus" anytime soon, I think I'll pre-order that Countdown Special: OMAC.

- That Family Circus "follow Billy's path" joke is getting more and more complicated as time goes on.

- We get another Spirit issue penned by Mark Evanier and Sergio Aragones with art by Mike Ploog and a cover by Paul Smith. What's not to like?

- I'm on the fence on that Green Arrow Year One HC. I've heard a lot of really good things about it, but I'm not sure I want to pop that much cash for it in hardcover.

- Between Robin #171 and Robin: The Big Leagues TPB, it's a good month for the Boy Wonder for covers.

- Yup. Still hate Alex Ross' Shazam. Kingdom Come was supposed to be the EXCEPTION, where it was OK to make him a big meanie.

- Man, does this solicitation seem to go on forever, or is it just me?

- New Astro City: The Dark Age special. I'm there.

- Definitely picking up the second Stormwatch: PhD TPB. The first one was a load of fun.

- New DMZ TPB, too.

- Yeeeee-OUCHIE!!!!

- I'm reading them in trades, but I did want to point out that this month's Fables is drawn by Niko Henrichon, who did a killer job on BKV's Pride of Baghdad not too long ago.

Wow, five confirmed pre-orders and one maybe in a solicitation that felt really huge to me.

Getting
-Teen Titans #56
-Booster Gold #0 - So glad to see the time-travel/multiverse theme continues. This should be great. Still.
-All Star Batman and Robin, The Boy Wonder #9
-Batman #674 - Looks like Bruce is getting the Stephanie Brown treatment.
-Robin #171 - Speaking of Stephanie Brown...
-Action Comics Annual #11 - And the arc FINALLY finishes.
-Action Comics #862
-The Brave and the Bold #10 - So close to canceling this thing.
-Justice League of America #18
-Tiny Titans #1 - Should be fun if nothing else.

Not Getting But Worth Note
-Batman and the Outsiders #4 - That cover is so awesome.
-Justice Society of America #13 - Two Supermen enter. One leaves.
-Green Arrow: Year One Hardcover - Wasn't impressed with the mini, but I love that cover. Needs to be a poster.
-Showcase Presents Booster Gold vol. 1 - May pick it up. He was the best part of 52, and his ongoing has been nothing but good, so It may be nice to get his older stuff.

[wonderfly]

I'll definently be picking up:

Teen Titans: Year One #2: This sounds like a lot of fun, but I'm getting a creepy vibe off of Cover #2 and Cover #1...what was up with DC giving all of their teenage characters such small shorts back then?

Booster Gold #0: Tonight we're going to party like it's 1994!!! (a "Zero Hour" tie-in makes me nostalgic...)

Astro City: The Dark Age (Special #2): Beautie (one-shot): Gotta get my Astro City fix...

Ex Machina #34: So when does this series wrap up again? Surely this plot can't drag on forever....

Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash #5

Scalped #14

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

Bat Lash #3: I'm feeling a craving for Western titles again...
Justice League of America #18: Still undecided...but man, that's a sweet cover.
Jonah Hex #28: I had just dropped this title a couple weeks back, only to finally getting around to reading the last 3 issue, (#23-25) and discover them to be the best in the series in some time. Damn, I really do have a craving for Westerns right now...

Northlanders #3: Still waiting and seeing before I sign on for this, (to get my Viking fix)...
