I really do question why one store will buy the new comics of another just because they did not get them in
I know he man was probally going to be a hard one to get but earth 2 and world's finest?

Really?
Nutant?
what kind of crazy universe is this where
Steaaaaaaam
Well
I really enjoyed that. A lot. I am interested in seeing more of this Batman.
I hope Johns gets a chance to write more of them, but am worried since this one was hilariously delayed.
Steaaaaaaam
Holy crap, some of these annuals...
Action Comics Annual has a back-up story by Ryan Sook and Max Landis. Fuckin' A.
I do have a weird anxiety about the main story though... I know Sholly and Grant have been working pretty closely together but didn't Grant already hint at three new villains called the K-Men? Sort of weird that we're getting just the one Kryptonite Man here. Unless of course this leads into the creation of two other members. I have faith in Fisch, s/he has been doing great work since... well, Batman Brave and the Bold.
Justice League Dark is going to crossover with Amethyst a month before her story starts in September. Thats kind of cool, though. A preview of what is to come. On one hand I really don't want them to make Amethyst's story so dark already... I mean, her original story was pretty fucking dark but that was mostly after the first maxi-series. But then, Jeff Lemire is writing it. I've loved his two issues of JLD so far. Oh, and Frankenstein is on the team this issue!
Swamp Thing Annual has art by Becky Cloonan. 'nuff said.
Edit: The K-Man on the cover pretty much matches the look of the one seen in Action #6, brown hair and mustache. We just haven't seen him without the trench-coat.
The Society of Superheroes, or S.O.S., a pulpy take on the DCU. Probably inspired by the Pulp Dr. Fate that pops up in Final Crisis that Morrison really liked.
Thunder World, the classic Captain Marvel Fawcett Comics world.
Pax Americana, the Watchmen-esque world starring the Charlton Comics characters.
The Just, a world focusing on "celebrity youngsters"
and Mastermen, a facist version of the Justice League
really the only one I am interested in is S.O.S.
maybe Pax Americana
Steaaaaaaam
Really, Earth 2 seems to be going to more interesting places than what those descriptions are.
S.O.S. mostly intrigues me because the pulp Dr. Fate looked really, really cool and I love me some Fate.
Steaaaaaaam
But if it's exploring the concept of a multiverse a bit, like in JLA: Earth-2, then I'm game.

Hrm. I want to see.
and i'm iffy on thunderworld unless it is billy, mary, and freddie, along with their bunny and tiger punching giant monsters. and billy can totally be a reporter at like twelve and the tiger can totally talk. I want that. anything that tries to make that weirder or less light-hearted'll ruin it.
Haha, what? I know you're promoting the book Geoff, but seriously? And how do you talk about iconic villains and leave out Lex Luthor and the Joker?
I think Super Freinds enemies is the best I can come up with
Johns has done a great job with Black Manta in the new Aquaman (by which I mean he is... actually a character now) and in five years he turned Sinestro from some big-headed goon into one of the coolest DC villains.
Also, Tony Daniel's art has improved a lot since he was working on Batman with Grant, that cover looks pretty good.
In other news, I finished my third re-read of Dial H #1-3 and have realized that I do like it for more than the crazy transformations. There is a pretty awesome story being told, Squid is a really fun villain, and Manteau is a great foil for Nelson.
I might have to check out Dial "H" when it comes out in trade. I bought the first issue, but it didn't grab me the way I hoped it would. But it did seem like the type of story that was better told in a trade format.
Earth-2 was good again. I like the new dynamic between Alan and Grundy that Robinson's playing with. If anything bugged me about the issue, it was Alan's costume. Just too much green. Needed more white, or some Grey/Black to break it up.
And Dr. Psycho

Ditto for the Bughuman Plague. And American Adolph. And Professor Frenzo. And Sharkeeta.
Seriously, these names are just laying there, not being used for amazing things.

Jesus Christ, I had no idea.
I think the problem is that people seem determined to take Wonder Woman very seriously, and none of those names really work for that.

I think that's a big part of why people generally don't connect with, or find her interesting. For most of the modern age, she's been played very stoic and stern. There's not much humor to her, so there's not much humanity to her. Gail Simone tried to do a more human take on Wonder Woman, but her run really got bogged down with all the Genocide stuff, and ultimately didn't really go anywhere.
I'm sure I've said it before, but I'd like to see a Wonder Woman in the vein of Pak and Van Lente's Hercules. Something with a lot of heart, humor, and craziness, that still has real, emotional resonance.
