    I am worried and excited for the Death of the New Gods. Lots of potential either way there.

    Well it's been dynamite so far, I see no reason for that to change with the finale.

    And damnit I hate to be a broken record but a Steve Gerber Dr Fate ongoing needs to happen.

    Is that Darkseid on the 1st cover? Why so many Omega Beams?

    He's probably bending the Omega Beams around to try and hit Superman. The beams don't have to go in straight lines.

    Yes. He has the ability to change the direction of the Omega Effect at will. It's probably just one long ass beam.

    The new (old) host is Bruce Gordon.
    While Mary was fighting Eclipso, she unleashed all her power into Jean, forcing both women to lose their power completely. They both fell from the sky into the ocean. Mary washed up on Themyscira and Jean looks like she may end up as shark food.

    i don't understand the tangent universe at all

    or why they keep bringing it up

    what I get from it is: the heroes share the same names and that's where the similarities end

    and i've read the wikipedia

    Totally. The Eclipso half is generally pretty uninteresting but the Dr Fate half is magnificent.

    A new batch of solicits be up!

    The rest will be revealed tomorrow at 5pm.

    I'm more or less indifferent on Titans...as it's hard to tell with Winick these days.

    Blue Beetle is well...odd.

    a "Batman Manga tale"? Pass.

    Finally a Justice League issue that will look good in the art department.

    And Justice Society...well..it's Justice Society. No words are needed.

    I'm glad Justice League is finally saying, "where has flash been" since he re-joined the team back in June and hasn't shown up in any issues since. Although the pencils on that cover are terrible.

    I think Blue Beetle's actually a neat idea, although I'm glad it's only one issue that they're doing it. My Spanish is awful at best.

    I'm excited for Titans even though I expect at least one of them to be killed/hospitalized in the first issue.

    Batman's got quite a beak on that Death Mask cover. I think I'll skip it and pick up the trade if it's any good.

    "Kurt Busiek, gearing up for his insanely huge next project".
    "While Bagley won’t reveal what his next project will be, he did reveal that “my old buddy Kurt Busiek and I are together again for what looks like a really great project."

    I'm excited for this and I don't even know what it is!

    Yeah, I think it's a fun idea, and they ~are~ providing the English translation to be fair. I wonder if the scarab alphabet will switch from English to Spanish too? Because remembering the letters is difficult enough as it is!

    Titans will almost certainly be awful between Winick's ham-handed writing and Churchill's ugly art.

    Spoiler warning for the first arc: Some cast members fuck and one dies. Also, Starfire's bi.

    Nice to see Mike Norton on Blue Beetle, knowing he's a Ted Kord fan. I dislike the idea of an all-Spanish issue though, if only because DC always said they didn't want to club readers over the head with the fact that Jaime's hispanic. Though it could be a cute idea, and more Traci 13 is always a good thing. Though I'm not reading it anyways, so what do I care?

    Van Sciver's JLA cover is really underwhelming. Also, I'm very surprised they revealed the JSA antagonist so early. Not that it wasn't expected, but doing it this early seems weird. Manga Batman might be interesting. The Batman: Child of Dreams book was kind of cool to look at after all.

    you can actually translate it?

    i just assumed it was random letters

    Yeah. My brother pointed it out to me recently. It's actually translatable. In fact I had lots of fun going back over old issues and reading what the scarab said. It doesn't work for the very early issues, but from the one where Baby Alina is kidnapped by Bottom Feeder you can read what the scarab says.

    Although funnily enough the first panel is gibberish, but in the second it says "Look! It's the Phantom Stranger!" in huge letters and it pretty much continues from then.

    *edit* They actually use the same alphabet for the most recent issue of Booster Gold too, which is fun.

    The thing is, Trials of Shazam and GA / BC have been enjoyable..so Winick is still a toss up in my book. Not looking forward to Churchill though.

    Winnick's writing is above average, I just have a problem with what he does. For example, GA/BC is not a poorly written book, it's just the ideas are frustrating. Brain dead Connor Hawke, for example.

    I think the Spanish-language Blue Beetle issue is a good idea. It's not beating us over the head with his ethnicity, for me, because that just seems realistic to have mostly Spanish in an issue that takes place during a family reunion. The thing is, this should be something that they should promote to widen the audience of not just BB, but comics in general.

    at B&N I saw "Learn Spanish with Batman" and "with Superman"

    I should buy them and read them before this issue hits

    It's good to be reminded that taking French in school was a giant waste of time. Anyone familiar with Middlesex County in Mass will understand.

    Ah the memories.

    It's already been said that it's going to be a stand alone story.
