Reflecting developments in both MAGOG and JSA ALL-STARS this month, Magog finds himself the odd man out during a massive escape from Haven – and his own team thinks he’s somehow responsible for the prison break! Turns out, Magog may have exposed one of the DC Universe’s biggest cover-ups! Featuring 56 pages of thrilling JSA adventure from writers Keith Giffen and Matthew Sturges and artist Tom Derenick.

In "Constellations" part 2, the All-Stars are on the trail of the villains who’ve kidnapped one of their own while internal turmoil creates drama in the ranks! And after what went down in the JSA ANNUAL this month, it looks like Magog won't be on the team much longer!
In the co-feature, Liberty Belle and Hourman trek to Venice alongside Icicle and Tigress in an amazing race to learn the secret of the ancient Staff of Legends!

Williams is still doing the covers so Jock's probably just doing a fill-in. Not a bad choice though, if my memory serves me right he has a similar type of style to JH Williams.
Futt Bucker: Yes, we did. You really have to wonder how terrible the memories are at DC...
Oh I know, Jock is pretty talented in his own right and I LOVED Green Arrow: Year One but Williams and Rucka on Detective has been legendary. Just didn't want to see it break up so soon.
Editors were too busy tweeting about a girl being in DC's offices and missed that.
Or maybe Keith Giffen put that on the script on purpose to see what kind of geniuses were editing him.
I thought Williams would still be the Detective artist but they would rotate between Question and Batwoman having the main/backup stories to reduce Williams' page count and keep him monthly?
Also, Mon-El and Kon-El look too similar.

And hopefully Dini retcons what Daniels is doing to the Riddler right away.
Also, I think DC is overestimating the demand for JSA material that isn't written by Geoff Johns.

It dropped by another 3,000 sales in October though, so it's down to 44,000 now. The question is whether it'll continue to decline at that rate or not, and how well another spin-off title will perform, with Magog and Power Girl (unfortunately) not doing very well just a few issues in.

I read the first issue and had no clue what was going on at all, so I never really bothered with it afterwards
Well I supposed the team up in Brave and the Bold is awesome, but so were the other JMS team ups, and those have been let downs.
And I suppose Human Target is worth a look
You really should, it's pretty awesome. It's probably in my top three books at the moment (alongside Batman and Robin and Madame Xanadu).
Speaking of REBELS, I really wish they'd put John Stewart in there. It's not like Johns is using him for anything interesting at the moment and they could then market REBELS as part of the Green Lantern 'family'.
Why the fuck would anyone ever become Gotham's DA? I think that's the bigger issue.
Aspirations of super-villainy?
Aside from the usual stuff I buy, I may have to pick up Azrael just for Ragman's appearance, but that story synopsis seems like it's veering dangerously close to becoming a PSA.
Superman/Batman's retooling just sounds weird and well, kinda dumb.
The Hourman/Liberty Belle co-feature in JSA All-Stars may actually get me to buy that book. I like Sturges and all, but most of those characters are just really unappealing to me.
Cry for Justice seems to be hinting at bad things down the road for Ollie. Given how Didio's been talking about how he's a character to watch, I have to wonder if he's doomed.
But hey, there are TPBs and hardcovers of Hardware, JLI Vol. 4, Mysterius, and Wednesday Comics coming out, and I can finally buy that Jason Todd Batman action figure and Sexy Natasha Irons statue I never wanted!

why
Why did you use a suggestive emoticon there
they're structured the same, have the random emoticons, both joined on Nov 18, and both have 9 posts
i'm batman
You forgot this guy who shares the same patterns. I guarantee they're all bots.
I'm glad it's not just me though. Til I saw your post Keith I thought I was just being paranoid.
(Does this make me Robin)

The idea is to build up a post history (most likely by copy/pasting the posts of other people from other, more obscure and/or shitty forums) and then once they feel they've reached a post count that makes them seem non-robotic drop some links. They could even be non-robots that are simply employed shills. The same tactics apply.
