Check out my post about November's Wonder Woman related solicits over at Champion of Themyscira!
Justice League is one of the New 52 that I am most excited about. Geoff Johns and Jim Lee? That's could be a winning combination. The solicit text is tantalizingly vague, but it seems like Wonder Woman makes her official introduction to the Justice League in this issue. I'm interested in seeing what the threat is that brings all these different heroes together for the first time.
I have to admit something: I've only read the first trade of Justice League International. I loved it, but I haven't had the chance to read the entire run (something I am looking forward to doing). I did, however, read all of Justice League: Generation Lost. I enjoyed it enough that when the last page revealed a new Justice League International series, I knew I would be purchasing it. And add Aaron Lopresti's art to it? Sold.
This cover, however, is odd. It's a David Finch cover, but the solicitation text says "Cover by Aaron Lopresti." Not final art?
I have never been a big fan of Hawkman. That mostly comes from how little I've seen him. The few things I have seen him in were terrible (cough Brightest Day cough). But I've come to really be a fan of Tony S. Daniel's writing. And Philip Tan's art is gorgeous. As such, I'll definitely give this book the One Story Arc test.
Can they finally make Supergirl an interesting character? I hope so (especially since Power Girl doesn't seem to exist anymore). I know nothing of the writer and artist on this series, so I have no bias about either of them. They have a good opportunity to make me fall in love with a character I've generally felt nothing for.
I am so glad that Catwoman is finally getting her solo book back. Don't get me wrong. There were some decent stories in Gotham City Sirens. But I don't care much for the other two characters. I only read it for Selina. I really hope that this book is spectacular and runs for years. I also hope it draws people into the Catwoman fandom.
If I have to say anything at all to you about Batwoman, that shows me that you did not read Detective Comics issues #854-863 or the Batwoman: Elegy trade (do yourself a favor and buy it now). Batwoman is poised to become one of the best books put out by DC. If you like Vertigo books, but also like superheroes, this is the book for you.
I know nothing about this. This solicitation is the first time I've ever even heard of this series. However, since the solicits came out, so many people I respect have said this is amazing. Therefore, I will get it.
Other things I will definitely get:
Superman #03 (Grant Morrison, hopefully not being needlessly confusing and pretentious)
Action Comics #03 (George Perez!)
Superboy #03
Batman #03 (Scott Snyder!)
Detective Comics #03 (Tony S. Daniel!)
Batman and Robin #03
Birds of Prey #03 (One of my favorite teams, but this book doesn't really call to me; here's hoping it's great)
Batgirl #03 (I don't care that she can walk again; I love Babs stories)
The Huntress #02
Nightwing #03 (Dick's run as Batman made me realize that I really like him)
Green Lantern #03, Green Lantern Corps #03, Green Lantern: The New Guardians #03, Red Lanterns #03 (Because I can't get enough Green Lantern? I guess)
Justice League Dark #03 (Zatanna!)
Swamp Thing #03
Animal Man #03
Teen Titans #03 (I am really interested in this new take on Wonder Girl/Cassie)
Other Things I May Pick Up:
The Fury of Firestorm (I have very little interest in the character, but I love Gail Simone)
The Shade
I, Vampire
Stormwatch
Voodoo (I really like Ron Marz)
Blackhawks #03 (Depending on Zinda's appearances)
Things I Will Absolutely Not Get Ever:
Hawk and Dove (As much as I like the character of Dove, I cannot stand to look at Rob Liefeld's ridiculously terrible "artwork" without filling with anger)
