    Argh, more people should be on the Generation Lost.

    I hope that those who are not there aren't taking a dirt nap.

    I actually got into JL:GL by mistake, and it's been really exceptional as far as I'm concerned.
    Sad about Magog though, bad way to go.

    If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten in your presence.

    I pretty sure every single Justice League of America cover has Dick Grayson either unconscious or in bondage

    ALSO: OH MAN THIS COVER!

    Other than that, I may pick up Xombi because if I wait for the trade it'll probably die.

    It seems the solicit says Wonder Woman will be joining the JLI in facing off against Max Lord . . .
    In JL:GL though no one but a select few even remember who Diana is though. Is this a byproduct of her character's revamp? I admit I haven't been keeping up with whatever's been happening with her character so I'm a little in the dark about how she fits into the scene.

    It somehow ties into Flashpoint, as the Flash book mentioned in a previous issue the timeline being all wonky. I'm starting to wonder if the white ring in Brightest Day is the thing to change the universe for Flashpoint, because it's actually Superboy Prime omg.

    -Don't care about War of the Green Lanterns. Not even a little bit.

    -Reign of Doomsday's going to be more than a month-long event? Good lord.

    -Some Angel of Death mini-crossover between the second tier Bat-books? Weird, but okay.

    -I still can't believe Batman: Odyssey is a 13-part series.

    -From Outsiders: "As Black Lightning’s team battles Geo-Force’s team, Batman emerges from the shadows. And all are left wondering: Who is Veritas?" I feel pretty confident saying no one's wondering who Veritas is.

    -Hey, Batgirl gets a car. That should be fun.

    -"SUPERMAN/BATMAN #83
    Written by CULLEN BUNN
    Art by CHRISCROSS     and MARC DEERING
    Cover by TRAVEL FOREMAN
    The penultimate chapter of “Sorcerer Kings” finds Batman, Doctor Occult, Detective Chimp and Klarion the Witchboy facing a magical Armageddon in the present as Superman is taken to meet the future Justice League at the Hall of Doom! How did things go so wrong — and can anything be done to stop it?"

    Well, that's a lot of things that I like.

    -"BOOSTER GOLD #43
    Written by KEITH GIFFEN & J.M. DEMATTEIS
    Art and cover by CHRIS BATISTA and RICH PERROTTA
    Coming to grips with all he’s seen and done, Booster Gold makes the biggest decision of all times – do it for the glory . . . or just do it. Is this the start of a new Booster?"

    Oh boy, Booster's going to make a decision about how he conducts himself, for the thirtieth time in the past few years.

    -Ig Guara drawing some of the JLA 80 Page Giant? Neat.

    -Power Girl looks like zany fun.

    -DC Comics Presents: Ninja Boy? Really, you couldn't reprint something like Hourman, Chronos, Resurrection Man, or something people may actually want to read?

    -JLI V. 6, Mighty Crusaders, and Planetary/Batman TPBs? Nice.

    God damn, the GLs are always fighting a damn war. They aren't doing a very good job of keeping the peace.

    Could anyone tell me what Red Circle stuff DC has put out so far? And how much has been collected?

    There were the 4 JMS one shots, a Shield/Inferno and Web/Hangman series that each lasted only 10 issues, and a current group book that I think only lasted 6 issues. Don't know if any of the stuff was collected considering how poorly it sold.

    The Shield was the only Red Circle character to make it to trade.

    Does anyone feel that Blackest Night/Brightest Day has gone on too long?

    It feels like that, just a never-ending splurge of stuff
