In this issue, written by Judd Winick, with art by Julian Lopez & Prentis Rollins and a cover by Joe Benitez, Raven’s half-brothers return to claim her and unite Trigon’s bloodline, forcing her to choose which ties are stronger: the family she was born to, or the new family she has made.
The second issue of Titans didn’t do too bad, coming in at #30 in the Top 300 Comics for May. Did fan reaction to more recent issues cause the change, or did issue #5 get solicited before it was written?
DC Comics has sent Major Spoilers the cover images and solicitation information for titles arriving in August 2008.

In order to make getting into Final Crisis as inexpensive as possible, DC will be selling DC Universe: Zero for fifty cents.
DC UNIVERSE: ZERO is written by Grant Morrison and Geoff Johns and features art by some of the biggest names in comics, including George Pérez, Tony Daniel, J.G. Jones, Aaron Lopresti, Ivan Reis, Philip Tan and Carlos Pacheco!
Starring the greatest heroes of the DCU, everything leading to FINAL CRISIS and beyond begins in DC UNIVERSE: ZERO. Take a journey through the past and present of the DCU, and witness the emergence of the greatest evil in the universe — and the stunning return of a force for good!
Sounds like a good place to jump on board, and $.50 can’t be beat. Now if all the big publishers would drop their prices by a buck, the industry as a whole might see a huge upswing in sales.
DC Universe: Zero arrives April 30, 2008.

When the Jack Kirby’s Fourth World Omnibus Volume 4 ships in March 2008 it will feature the Hunger Dogs with restored to the original inks by Mike Royer.
“We are excited to share with readers Kirby’s original vision for the epic’s end in Vol. 4 of the FOURTH WORLD OMNIBUS series,” says Georg Brewer, VP — Design and DC Direct Creative. “This collection features 24 pages at the size that Kirby penciled them, the way they looked before being altered to fit the larger trim size of the HUNGER DOGS graphic novel. Faithfully inked by Mike Royer, these pages are incorporated within the HUNGER DOGS story, which is completely re-colored with a sensibility consistent with the previous OMNIBUS hard covers. Along with the Fourth World character entries he drew for WHO’S WHO: THE DEFINITIVE DIRECTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE, these exciting, rarely seen aspects of Kirby’s work and this important story make this a must-have for every serious comics collector.”
The fourth and final omnibus features the Hunger Dogs, Mister Miracle #10-18, Forever People #11, New Gods #11, and 1984′s New Gods #6.
I’m halfway through the first volume right now, with the second volume waiting in the wings. Didn’t think I was going to like it, but I’m hooked on the collection.
