I've been away for a while, but I'm back and planning to post on a much more frequent basis. I have tons of ideas for writing about comics and other aspects of pop culture. Keep checking in for more posts.
Blogging is a great way to organize your thougths, so here is a reminder to myself, and whoever else is interested, regarding some upcoming events in DC Comics.
Countdown to Adventure (trade paperback). $17.99, release date July 23. Reprinting the recent mini series, this continues the adventures of Animal Man, Adam Strange, and Starfire, my favorite storyline in the 52 title.
Justice Society of America Annual 1 - release date July 31. I've mentioned several times the exciting return to Earth-2. I understand that the Batman of this earth will indeed be deceased. I'm still holding out hope that someday he can be brought back. In comics anything can happen. But this will be good anyway, with the return of Robin and the Huntress. And I've read that this will be the springboard for launching Power Girl in her own series. How cool is that!?!?
DC Universe: Last Will and Testament - This August release will appear between Final Crisis 3 & 4 as the DC heroes prepare for the battle of the millennium. How will each choose to spend what may prove to be the last day of their lives? 48 pages.
Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds - Three versions of the Legion of Superheroes including some really retro incarnations and the sole survivor of Earth Prime. This five issue mini-series begins in August.
Final Crisis: Superman Beyond- A two-parter in which, according to CSN, Superman teams up with his "multiple earth counterparts on a voyage to the edge of the DC Universe--and beyond.' So there is something beyond the 52 universes of the reestablished multiverse? I can't wait to see what!
Kingdom Come - Trade paperback. Not having read the complete series, which this reprints, I'll either pick this up when finances allow or wait for it at the public library.
Brave and the Bold- J. Michael Straczynski, of Marvel's The Twelve will take over writing chores on this title later this year. His first story will team up Batman and the Jim Corrigan Spectre. Sounds pretty retro to me.
Well, I'm off to update my pull list.
