Written by JUDD WINICK
Issue #21 art by AARON LOPRESTI
Issue #22 art by FERNANDO DAGNINO
Covers by DUSTIN NGUYEN

It’s the calm before the storm in issue #21. Beetle is dead, Max Lord has Checkmate and the hunt for Wonder Woman has begun. But Booster Gold has given up after losing another friend to Max Lord, and the JLI is left without a leader!
In issue #22, Max’s ultimate OMAC Project closes in on completion, and the JLI race to find Wonder Woman before Max finds her first. Along the way, Power Girl, Batman and one more former-JLI member will join the team – but will their combined efforts be enough?
Retailers please note: These issues will ship with two covers each. Please see the Previews Order Form for more information.

Aw yeah Sugar and Spike!
-Batman: Odyssey is still going? And it's a 13 part maxi-series? Jesus.
-Wonder Woman's cover is Silver Age-y in a good way. Superman's is Silver Age-y in a bad way.
-There's another traitor in the Freedom Fighters? Wasn't that the plot of the first of two previous arcs this team's appeared in?
-Alan Scott got the world's worst costume redesign. Yikes.
-I really should start buying Young All-Stars. The covers always look so fun.
-New Hitman TPB? Nice, maybe they'll finally collect the rest of the series. Also, that Geoff Johns Flash Omnibus is tempting. I'm not a fan of his recent work, but I recall enjoying his Flash, for the most part.
-Other than that, it looks like business as usual. The Bat-books generally look interesting, the Green Lantern books look like more space-punching and melodrama, and Outsiders is still being published, for some reason.

Dang it DC, why you gotta get my hopes up.
I mean, damn.

What are you talki... Oh... Ooohhh... What is that even?
Also, go go Guy and fuck you Winick. Fuck you.
Edit
HEY EVERYBODY THE 90'S JUST KICKED IN
I know it is a hefty price tag
But goddamn it is Sugar and Spike and I will buy it
Yo this is me
Also holy shit at the Ame-Comi Wonder Woman and Big Barda figs, who the hell is buying those
She is a conglomeration of all of Jack Kirby's fetishes
So do the GL ones
But more importantly that Jimmy Olsen one-shot! Olsen as a over-worked regular guy who has just seen all your shit before would be cool, aliens could turn up and he'd be like "can we do this quickly because I have a deadline for this afternoon..."
You'll be able to get in on Amazon or InStockTrades for like $37. Still pricey, but its Sugar and Spike.
SUPERGIRL #62
Written by NICK SPENCER
Art by BERNARD CHANG
Cover by AMY REEDER & RICHARD FRIEND
Nick Spencer (Morning Glories) assembles the cream of the crop of the next generation of DCU super-heroes in this issue – Robin, Static, Miss Martian, Blue Beetle, Batgirl, the new Impulse – to team up with Supergirl and take on a new villain who promises to define this generation as much as Darkseid, Lex Luthor and The Joker did prior ones. Good luck, kids!

Robinson wrote a coda issue for JSA where he just throws out a lot of stuff regarding Alan Scott on the moon, and then it looks like Guggenheim ignored it for his opening arc and instead
Did you look at the fig in the solicits, even by those standards it's ridiculous
Also I didn't know Kirby was into women that could beat him senseless
Still, I think the Barda Ame-Comi figure bugs me less than the others. I mean, she's basically wearing her classic two-piece bathing suit thing, with some additional armor. It's still weird just because, really, who would display one of those in their home? But it doesn't bother me as much as Cassandra Cain in a shredded Batgirl outfit.
And since I was Googling these things, am I crazy, or would this actually be a pretty good Donna Troy redesign? I'd close the boob hole, but besides that, I sort of dig it.

But personally, I think this one is way worse.
I mean, I hate to disparage the people that buy these things. I guess they're technically well-made, and some of them are kind of neat, weird little art objects. I just couldn't even begin to fathom looking at one of these, paying $70 for it, and thinking, "Man, I've got just the place for this in my house!"
Tumblr Twitter
that's it.
fuck comics, I'm out
he is appearing in other books the same month
it is a fake out
If the story does follow that same route though, that would be the first appearance of Iris as Impulse II, kind of worried how they're going to write her. She's not really like Bart from what was seen in Waid/Peyer run.
If I had to guess, Maxwell Lord is making Booster *think* that's what happened in order to break his spirit.
I didn't even realize it was the new guy. I've been thinking, "Oh hey, there's Booster and Ted. Again. Ooookay."
And I bet Ted Kord comes back too, probably as the "other JLI" member that comes back.
I haven't kept up with JLI:GL so far, but those solicits seem to just be some weird re-living of OMAC project.
