DC Comics has made previews availabe for titles shipping January 31, 2007. Take the jump for all the goodness from Blue Beetle, JSA Classified #22, Teen Titans #43, and Trials of Shazam! #5. I’m especially interested in Teen Titans as we finally get to see what Deathstroke has been up to with Titans East!

Man, I was not paying much attention to comics in the early 80s. Had I known Superman and Big Barda almost got it on in an adult film, I would have picked that up! This was all during the John Byrne run on Action Comics and things got really weird. As it turns out, Sleez has been making money by pimping Barda out to a porno movie producer. He’s already made at least one movie with her, and now he’s offering Superman to the producer as well. Yup. That’s what I said. Check out Living Between Wednesdays for the complete…
Or – “Turns Out He IS Who We Thought He Was!” It’s a fact of life (especially in comics) that every experience is new for someone. No matter how many times *I* may have seen a particular plot twist, there’s always somebody who’ll find it to be the most daring and amazing story of all time. Which is why the big reveal in the latest JSA, though no surprise, really worked for me. This newest JSA incarnation debuted with a big splash, a dash of Alex Ross, and some promising new creations… Can they keep up the quality?
DC Comics set the Interweb all a twitter last week when it released a starteling image of an upcoming event. I’ve seen the high resolution version and have posted a few close ups for your inspection, reflection, and comments. Major Spoilers Ahead! You’ve been warned!
According to the Wall Street Journal, Katie Holmes will not be back in The Dark Knight. “We never got to the negotiating stage” for the film, said Julie Polkes, Holmes’ representative. “Katie was offered [“Dark Knight”] but was unable to accept the role because of scheduling conflicts. She was in the process of negotiating for another project.” Instead of a multi-million dollar sequel, what is a young starlet to do? This little bit from Variety should make your head spin: Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes are in talks to star in “Mad Money,” a pic to be directed by “Thelma…
Major Spoilers received the following cryptic image from DC Comics. No other information was included except for the above title, but it does seem to indicate something disastrous has happened in the DCU. Fallout from 52 maybe? Warning: Major Spoilers! Seriously, I mean it!
DC Comics has released two six page previews for titles shipping January 31, 2007. Take the jump to check out JSA Classified #22 and Trials of Shazam! #5.
DC Comics will be giving away two very good titles for Free Comic Book Day 2007. First up is The Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century #1. This is the all-ages Johnny DC series spun off from the Kids WB animated series. This will be a 32-page book written by J Torres, with art by Chynna Clugston-Flores. The other issue is Justice League of America #0. This is an issue you will want to get for free as it tels the story of Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman putting the League back together following the events of Infinite Crisis.…
This May will see the debut of DC Comics’ new Minx line. DC is confident enough in the line it is offering retailers full returnability of The Plain Janes – providing they meet certain qualifications. There are several different breakdown scenarios, but is runs something like this; if a retailer with a 50% DC Comics discount orders a minimum of 4 copies of The Plain Janes, it will qualify for full returnability. This offer is only good through the final cut off date of March 8, 2007.
Or – “Oh, THAT Cancellation Notice!” Well, heck, that didn’t last very long. The little book that could has apparently been cancelled again. Initially canned with #25, Manhunter was given a repreive after a tideswell of fan response, and granted another 5 issues. The word out of DC is that this arc is the end for Kate Spencer’s solo book (though she did join the Birds of Prey in issue #100) and I only hope that we’ll get some closure for Mark Shaw, for Cameron Chase, even for Kate’s long-suffering tech wizard Dylan. This issue progresses storylines, has several surprises,…
Or – “Crisis On Earth-Whichever-One-Is-Left-Now!” As a fan of old-school superheroics, it’s always interesting to me which characters get chosen for revamps and which do not. The return of the Freedom Fighters in 1973 probably didn’t make a lot of sense to the readers of the time, as their original incarnations from Quality Comics hadn’t been seen in 25 years. When their own series tanked, they were pretty much used only as background characters, until the newest incarnation of the team was brutally killed in Infinite Crisis. I chalked up their appearance there as doing two things: killing off a…
Here’s your sneak peek of DC Comics’ The Helmet of Fate: Ibis the Invincible. The three page preview continues the Helmet of Fate storyline and gives us another glimpse into who may wear the gold helm.
Booster Gold Returns! As much as I have loved reading 52 and making speculations throughout, it is often good know at least one of my wild speculations have paid off. This week offers three big reveals that are really not that big of a surprise if you have been following closely. The first is a no-brainer (look at the subhead), the second is a relief, and the third has been sitting in front of your face for at least six months. If you don’t like Major Spoilers, turn back now!
