Great issue yet again.

Is Midnighter black now?

Animal Man is weird. It's good, but just so f*cking weird.

^ 🙁 I'd be sad to see Captain Atom get cancelled. It is a very good book.

Good riddance to the rest, though.

when i saw the list i was pretty surprised to see Grifter as it was my understand many people were pretty excited for it.....

I never read any of those title those but my dad has been reading Legion Lost....I really am unsure if he is liking it or not though.

Unfortunately Grifter isn't very well written.

Not that I haven't been enjoying all this "champion of the opressed" a lot - but Grant Morrison writing the "time-travelling team-ups of Anti-Superman army" type of stories is one of the things I was looking forward to most when I heard he'd get the title.

Agreed. Fun issue. Also this issue had great art.

it really isn't all that surprising.. dc knew this from the start, maybe they can rectify it somehow

OMAC was brilliant once again. Seeing Frankenstein and OMAC fight was bad ass. Franky certainly is one powerful super soldier. Going toe to toe with OMAC.

And

Spoiler:
Desaad!
Will the rest of the New Gods return? I hope so.

Krypto = awesome.

Don't read any of them, though Captain Atom does look good. This week I bought Detective Comics, Action Comics, Red Lanterns and Swamp Thing and all of them was great! 🙂

So Booster Gold became a Canadian, as part of this? Is he still from the future?
While I appreciate DC acknowledging the large country north of them, they have further to go with being diverse.

the only new 52 books I have been getting are Flash, Red Hood&The Outlaws, The Dark Knight, Green Lantern, New Guardians, &Red Lanterns.

So i was very happy to know none of them were in trouble......more to the point I was worried about Red Lanterns because I felt that the first few issues were really slow. Im happy to hear many more people have enjoyed it thus far.

I'm noticing a common theme- solo books where the character doesn't interact with the rest of the universe much.

Which, I think, is something to be avoided with most solo books. You want readers to jump between titles, after all.

Green Lantern was really good i thought; and FINALLY they have him

Spoiler:
open up to carol.

Just got real in Deathstroke. Slade is fighting a mini Superman. Named Legacy.

I expected more from The Ray, tbh. Demon Knights has been exceptional, though. I'm really digging it.... On a sidenote: for anyone who has been reading DK, have you noticed how much Merlin resembles Archmage from the old Gargoyles cartoon?

That was a very good issue I thought as well! 👆

First cancellations announced as Men of War, Mister Terrific, O.M.A.C., Hawk and Dove, Blackhawks and Static Shock. No real great losses, but I'm going to miss Men of War.

The six replacement titles:

BATMAN INCORPORATED – Writer: Grant Morrison. Artist: Chris Burnham. The acclaimed ongoing writer of ACTION COMICS, Grant Morrison, presents a fresh take on BATMAN INCORPORATED, in which the Batman brand is franchised globally in preparation for a major international threat.

EARTH 2 – Writer: James Robinson. Artist: Nicola Scott. The greatest heroes on a parallel Earth, the Justice Society combats threats that will set them on a collision course with other worlds.

WORLDS’ FINEST – Writer: Paul Levitz. Artists: George Perez and Kevin Maguire. Stranded on our world from a parallel reality, Huntress and Power Girl struggle to find their way back to Earth 2. Perez and Maguire will be the artists on alternating story arcs.

DIAL H – Writer: China Miéville. Artist: Mateus Santoluoco. The first ongoing series from acclaimed novelist China Miéville, this is a bold new take on a cult classic concept about the psychological effects on an everyman who accidentally gains powers to become a hero.

G.I. COMBAT – Writer: J.T. Krul. Artist: Ariel Olivetti. Featuring the return of a classic DC Comics series, THE WAR THAT TIME FORGOT, along with rotating back-up stories and creative teams – including THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER, with writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti and artist Dan Panosian; and THE HAUNTED TANK, with writer John Arcudi and artist Scott Kolins.

THE RAVAGERS – Writer: Howard Mackie. Artist: Ian Churchill. Spinning off from TEEN TITANS and SUPERBOY, this series finds four superpowered teens on the run and fighting against the organization that wants to turn them into supervillains.

Excited for Mielville's Dial H... that's about it.
