Can’t wait for GL, GLC…but DC sure knows how to spoil story endings lately with the return of Crab-face Kyle; doesn’t this seem as a letdown/luke-warm ending from an awesome set-up?… Also waiting for Authority Prime, Black Adam, Midnighter, Tales of the Sinestro Corps tie-ins, JL of A, 52 Aftermath, Action Comics, Superman Annual.
Just a few things noticed:
In the Superman Annual, why is Powe Girl’s cape blue?
Any thoughts on Kyle’s latest,what, like the 5th costume now? It’s really amalgamated a great deal of the past designs…
Who is the girl on Black Adam Dark Age cover on the left? The colors say Supergirl, but the costume is different…
I’ve also read that Stormwatch PHD will conclude with issue #12…anyone heard the contrary? I thought Wildstorm just had a reboot, BTW…Is there another in the works? I haven’t been following the Armaggedon series, but I wonder if this will play into Final Crisis as well?
Apparently, PHD is getting cancelled and relaunched as Stormwatch again… After all, it HAS been 10 minutes, they need a new concept again.
