Much praise has be heaped upon the Batman Beyond universe. It gave us a look at what might come in the next twenty years, and gave us a new group of heroes to root for. While we’ve seen the adventures of Batman, and the Justice League, we’ve only seen Superman here and there. Now he get’s his own story, just in time for everything to change forever.

Or – “After The Pantsinator Comes… THE DEPANTSINATOR!” It’s kind of disheartening to realize that, in this day and age, the two-months-ahead Previews catalog makes every Wednesday seem a bit like old news.  After weeks  of coming attractions for the New 52 in September, it was a little startling to buy this issue and remember that the OLD new Wonder Woman had yet to wrap up so that we could get the NEW new Wonder Woman…

Raise your hand if you’ve played Neverwinter Nights for PC! I didn’t mean literally, put your hand down, you’re at work! You want your boss to see you? Alright, that was close… …Anyway Wizards of the Coast is apparently aware of all the love that game (by the now famous Bioware game studio) has garnered over the years. And so for the first time WoTC has dedicated a whole supplement detailing the Jewel of the North. …which has been hit by a meteor.

Or – “I Just Can’t Decide On This Book…” FF has been a very strange reading experience for me thus far.  The first four issues were must-reads, but for some reason the return of Black Bolt left me cold.  Will this issue fall on the side of “VIP” or “WTF?”  (You’ll only know if you click the jump…)

Or – “The Danger Of Insufficient Baskets For One’s Eggs…” So, they’ve been promising for months that a Legionnaire will die.  Who do you think it will be?  Who do you HOPE it will be?

“Steve Austin, astronaut. A man barely alive.” “Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world’s first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better… stronger… faster.” The opening words to the Six Million Dollar Man is engrained in the mind of kids born before 1971. But what happened before the Northrop M2-F2 crashed and burned? Kevin Smith and Dynamite Entertainment bring their take to the popular television series the way only Kevin Smith and Dynamite Entertainment can.

ROBOT OVERLORD: Matt Murdock is back as the Man Without Fear, but what happens when the Hero of Hell’s Kitchen encounters The First Avenger? I’ve tasked Matthew and Stephen with reviewing the latest issue of Daredevil from Marvel Entertainment.

Or – “Do Ya S’pose This Would Be The Twelfth Or Thirteenth?” Before the fez, before the brainy specs, before the leather jacket and jumper, there was a time when the general public (i.e., the non-nerds in the world) knew nothing of a certain Gallifreyan and his adventure in time, space and dimension.  Luckily for us, the ladies and gentlemen who worked at Marvel Comics were among the nerds, and delivered unto us the most unlikely crossover moment of all…

If you are going to end a long running series and start next month with a new number one, this is certainly one way to do it…

I’ve made some hash lately (presuming that turn of phrase means anything, which in retrospect it may not) of comics publishing companies’ tendencies to tell stories that ‘have never been told before!!!!11!eleven!!’ regardless of whether or not there was a REASON those stories have stayed unspoken.  It’s hardly a new thing (John Byrne famously wrote a story wherein Superman executed three Kryptonian criminals to explain his ‘No Killing’ dogma, as if you really need to have a big backstory to a dearth of murder), but few of these instances manage to get told without some serious fallout.  Though Wally West…
