NYCC’11: Krypto is dead
If you took a gander at Action Comics #2, you saw that Superman was shown a dessicated alien animal that looked it had been through at least one autopsy. While it didn’t hit me as something super important at the time, that dead animal could be Krypto.

DC RELAUNCH: Batman, Incorporated to return
DC Comics posted a message on The Source to reassure everyone that Batman, Incorporated would indeed return following the relaunch of the superhero line. However, the current book will wrap with issue #10.
“Batman, Incorporated will continue through to Issue #10 and August’s shocking season finale that changes the Batman status quo yet again. The series will take a brief hiatus while I work on a major new project to be announced shortly. Batman, Incorporated returns next year with me, Chris Burnham and Batman: Leviathan, the epic 12 part conclusion to my 6 year Batman saga. Don’t miss it!” – Grant Morrison
Batman, Inc. will return in 2012 with a new number one, according to DC.
