Who's the slacker that usually puts these things up?
Because you're
slacking. Anyway, here's a few that grabbed my attention. Full solicitations are
here.
KNIGHT & SQUIRE #3
Written by PAUL CORNELL

Cover by YANICK PAQUETTE & MICHAEL LACOMBE
Cyril and Beryl have the fight of their lives on their hands when Shakespeare’s most evil monarch, Richard III, returns! And he’s brought with him a cloned army of all the worst Kings of England, intent on taking back the country through the use of social networking! Yes, that’s the plot!

Paul Cornell just cold don't give a fuck, and I love that.
BATGIRL #16
Written by BRYAN Q. MILLER
Art by DUSTIN NGUYEN & DEREK FRIDOLFS
Cover by DUSTIN NGUYEN
The “Order of the Scythe” has drawn first blood, framing Batgirl for a crime she didn’t commit. Can she outrun Gotham City’s Finest long enough to prove her innocence? The birth of Batgirl’s gallery of rogues begins here as “The Lesson” continues!

Dustin Nguyen on art? That dude's a machine. Also, pretty neat that Miller apparently plans to start giving Batgirl her own Rogues Gallery. I always hate it when heroes all seem to fight the same ten popular villains.

Get ready to go back to the 853rd century as SUPERMAN/BATMAN visits the world of DC ONE MILLION! What dangerous foe threatens to destroy both the 853rd and 21st centuries? Find out here in the first part of a 2-part story by Chris Roberson (I, ZOMBIE) and Jesus Merino (JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA)!

Shit, that's a great creative team
and a concept I love.

Cover by FREDDIE WILLIAMS II
Left powerless, Cyclone struggles to lead a “normal” life apart from the ALL-STARS. But the sudden appearance of a team of Cy-Clones leaves her questioning her mental powers as well! And how can she prove she’s the one and only original when the others seem to have her abilities – and more?
On sale DECEMBER 1 • 32 pg, FC, $3.99 US
I should really be reading All-Stars, shouldn't I?
BOOSTER GOLD #39

Forced to face the reality that his best friend Ted Kord is never coming back from the dead, Booster Gold withdraws from reality by running home to his original time and place. Unfortunately, once home, he’s arrested for the theft of the Time Sphere that allowed him to become Booster Gold in the first place!

A man walks into a talent agent’s office. No, wait, that’s not how this one goes; let’s start again. A Robotman walks into a murderous family’s moving castle.

I do love that Legacies #8 cover. Everyone hates that era but it was great.
There's really nothing worthwhile I see. Knight and Squire and that's it. Emerald Warriors #3 cover, nicht so gut. Fables seems to be on a break after #100.
holy crap doug mahnke's art has gotten a thousand times better
also, according to the artist's deviantart, this book was made 8 years ago and never released
And why is this book being released now but Busiek's Krypto story isn't? Where my dog at?
I guess it makes sense that he looks like a Ramos rip-off

GL 61 cover is siiick.
Yeah, I'm jumping on that.
This is also the best cover yet for BD. Not jumping on that though.
I didn't mean for this post to be just covers, but this is great
So they're finally collecting the backups. Good.
Oh and has anyone been following the Vertigo Crime OGN's? Any recommendations?
