Here are the previews for DC's April solicitations. The full solicits should be posted later today.

DC universe

Superman books

When he dies, I hope they write "Worst Affirmative Action Hire, EVER" on his grave. His corpse should be trolled.

    I'm crossing my fingers that a real writer will be on Batman. Tony Daniel's fucking up a lot of good characters.

    You should read the book instead of scans online.

    Even if she did, everyone's dying in Blackest Night, it's kind of expected most if not all will come back by the time these books come out.

    Rucka's done on Detective Comics, except for the backup.

    That's $4 a month back in my pocket. W00t. Now I just need a jumping off point on Streets of Gotham before Batwoman is relaunched in her own book.

    Streets of Gotham, depending how they go with the end to this arc, might have the perfect jump off point. As in, they go one way that makes sense so you still buy it, or they pull something so completely illogical for even a (Batman) comic that you put your hands up and walk away, disbelief suspended.

    Two issues into his Outsiders run and already a fill-in artist for Tan.

    Guillem March on Batman? Interesting.
    The inmates of Arkham Asylum have taken over DETECTIVE COMICS in “Beneath the Mask” Part 1 of 2! It’s Black Mask verses Jeremiah Arkham for control of the asylum.

    It has the best Batman-Robin banter of all the books. Although I'm mainly reading it for Manhunter. But I'm starting to get tired of paying $4 just to read Manhunter, and yet at the same time I'm finally intrigued by where the current main plot is going with Abuse and whatnot.

    Don Kramer has to play fill-in to Tan? Really? That's how little DC thinks of him, the dude who bailed out Detective Comics during the first half of Dini's run?

    Jim Calafiore is probably the new Secret Six artist while Nicola Scott moves on to something bigger, which is just fine, I've liked his art since Exiles.

    And I guess Starfire is now on both REBELS and JLA squads? She's really busting out lately.

    Nicola Scott is going on Wonder Woman with Simone, at least for an arc.

    The only thing really piquing my interest is the new DV8 series written by Brian Wood.

    On the new HC of Seven Soldiers, the Rolling Stone quote is kind of funny.
    The hottest super-heroes... are the Seven Soldiers... by comic legends Grant Morrison.

    Okay, so it's not funny. But you do think someone would have caught that.

    BATMAN #698
    On sale APRIL 14 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US
    Written by TONY DANIEL
    Art by GUILLEM MARCH
    Cover by TONY DANIEL
    Only two months until BATMAN #700! As the landmark issue nears, Dick Grayson’s life as The Dark Knight heats up in a big way. With Black Mask out of the way for good, the Falcone crime family attempts to fill that void – with no regard for the safety of Gotham City’s citizens! And what’s going on with the Riddler?
    Yeah uh, DC, you took Tony Daniel off the wrong bloody job!

    Weird that Rucka seems to have left Detective, since there was really no mention of it beforehand. Hopefully it doesn't take DC another 2 bloody years to release the Batwoman book. I wonder if Hine's the new Detective writer though, or if he'll be gone after his two issues and someone else will take it.

    Anyway, most interesting thing to me were the new First Wave books and the new Gotham Central HC.

    I have the book, I guess I just didn't understand it was
    all a dream.

    I guess I wasn't paying a lot of attention while I was reading it? I don't know.
