-Superman is still being written by JMS

-The Dark Knight Launches, and I get a vibe similar to Todd McFarlane's Spider-Man series with how the first arc is solicited

-Keith Giffen has to draw Didio's Outsiders.

Secret Six has what may possibly be the best comic book cover of all time.

Is Geoff Johns Earth-1 Batman book on that solicit list?

You are so right, Munch. So right.

the reprint of Green Lantern/Flash: Faster Friends is great news. i've been looking for that mini-series for a long time with no luck.

HadjiQuest

Ohh, neato, those DC Presents reprint collections sound pretty rad. That might be how I'll get my Superman fix for awhile.

TexiKen

They're reprinting some good stuff in those 4-issue collections, definitely pick them up, that was the good era of Superman.

Just noticed the Madame Xanadu solit said it was a series finale. That's disappointing to learn, it's been one of my favorite series for a while now.

And this right here would cause Batman to crap himself inside out in fear

Yeah it really sucks. Especially since the only reason it's getting cancelled is because Didio wants Madame Xanadu to be part of the DCU again. So that probably mean she'll get a couple of cameos and that's about it. I have no idea why Didio/DC continually try to get their hands on more and more characters to shove into the DCU when they can't even handle their current ones properly. Those new characters just end up being pushed back into the background once their books aren't successful, alongside 99% of the other characters DC owns. It's a never ending cycle.

Anyway, yay finally the last Planetary and Blue Beetle trades.

This sounds like a good month, especially for the Bat-books. Can we just skip ahead to November and forget all this "Road Home" nonsense in October?

Also, so I can continue sounding like a broken record, I guess Cass is gonna finally return in Red Robin:

RED ROBIN #17
Written by FABIAN NICIEZA
Art and cover by MARCUS TO & RAY MCCARTHY
How does the return of Bruce Wayne and the beginning of Batman, Inc. work into Red Robin’s plan to initiate an international stranglehold on crime? If Batman approves of everything Red Robin has set in motion, what will he do when his protégé decides to release the gang-leader-and-maybe-undercover-cop Lynx from prison? And guess which surprise guest star you’ll see when Red Robin takes a quick trip to Hong Kong!

So excited.

Or piss himself, and then we'd get Kevin Smith explaining that it's just the body's natural reaction to seeing a T-rex.

Which is probably true.

I see Bane is about to gain his kingdom with his own hands. Good for him.

wwtMask

Good TPB releases this month: Booster Gold, Fables, Sweet Tooth. I'm sad to see Madame Xanadu end though.

Munch

I wonder if Tony Daniel's inking himself on that Batman cover. There's some really neat brushwork going on there.

if it didn't say it was Tony Daniel I'd swear it was Eddy Barrows

TexiKen

I guess Bruce is going to be wearing any Bat-outfit he wants or Daniel wasn't given a heads up.

And the blue piping on the Kubert variant for Batman Inc #1 seems weird. It makes the new outfit look more like a space suit.

Silver_Mage

It looks like Dick Grayson may still be Batman in Tony Daniel's Batman comic.

Also, while I do like to see the variation of colors on Bruce's new suit, it is still a bit annoying when the different artists do not come to an agreement on what color it will be.

Magna Inferno

Yeah it looks like Dick will have Batman, Batman and Robin
Bruce has Batman Inc, Dark Knight and Detective?

New characters to feed the rape/death machine. I mean, this is DiDio - Madame Xanadu is probably looking at a 6 issue rape miniseries (written by David Finch) by the end of 2011.

Edit: Also, Superboy needs a new costume. Jesus fucking christ, get him into something other than the t-shirt and jeans.

Zeromus

So amped for Batman Inc.

I agree. It looks so fucking stupid.

I think it looks fine, until he stands next to any other superhero/villan. Then he's just some jerk in a t-shirt.

I'd love to see him in a mostly black outfit, normal S sheild/Red cape (I still like capes) maybe some dark blue accents/patches to break it up a little. I guess I should take this to the costume thread.
