awesome. 👆

Irony for you- Gail Simone finally walked from Batgirl due to editorial's insistence on the dark and grim tone for her book (the lack-of-tone-diversity I mention), and then they announce the next creative team actually *will* get to do a lighter, more fun Babs of the type of book that's very much been missing since the reboot.

Good. Maybe Batgirl will be readable again. 😛

New suit looks really good, too.

Oh, and another tight race for Marvel/DC.

Batman tops the sales charts.

almost all of the bat-books have been really good lately. tack that onto the sheer popularity of the character, and i'm not surprised his comics are topping the charts.

I know, doesn't it?

To quote a commenter twitter:

"Comic fans just wanna see skin, that's how it is"
*reveal of Batgirl's costume gets more press than I've ever seen*

It's simply a really, really good costume. Practical and well-designed. I even like the snap-cape!

Grayson #1 was pretty good. Not excellent, but solid. It's a fresh new take on Dick. Ever since Doyle became the editor, we've been seeing some really good changes so far.

Just put him as EIC. lol

4% really isn't that close of a race. Though, granted, it''s better than some of the prior 6%-on-a-good-month disadvantages they've been posting. More like how they were doing last years...

“GODHEAD” Act 1, Part 1: Highfather, leader of the New Gods, has long studied the infinite and infinitely mysterious Source Wall which surrounds the universe. Now, he has learned that during “Green Lantern: Lights Out,” the ring-wielders broke through the Wall and stole secrets of cosmic importance. Determined to breach the Source Wall himself, Highfather must gain one of each colored ring in the emotional spectrum. But even mighty Highfather doesn’t know all, and the forces he’s about to unleash will have transformative effects on the whole DC Universe! Cosmic mystery, overwhelming odds, familiar and brand-new New Gods – This one’s got it all! This issue also includes a special fold-out that will take you to the Source Wall like never before!

When they last collaborated, Grant Morrison joined artist Ben Oliver (LOBO, BATMAN/SUPERMAN) for the acclaimed ACTION COMICS #0. For their next team-up, the two superstars take a spin around the self-obsessed Earth-16 – a.k.a. Earth-Me!
With all of the world’s threats having been handled long ago by their parents, the next generation of supers – including Chris Kent, Damien Wayne, Alexis Luthor, Offspring, Megamorpho, Donna Troy and more – find themselves labeled as superstars more often than super heroes. But with that fame comes complacency, and when a massive threat unlike anything they’ve ever seen surfaces, this pampered crew finds themselves in way over their head. What secret is Damien keeping from Chris that could tear the world’s finest friends apart? Who is the mysterious killer lurking behind the scenes among these spoiled super-children? And what chance do they stand against the monstrous villain that’s murdering its way cross the Multiverse? All that and more in this exciting stand-alone issue which also acts as chapter three of the MULTIVERSITY saga. Join us, if your dare, for THE MULTIVERSITY!

Grant Morrison's map of the Multiverse!

Wow. That's incredible. Love how Morrison managed to pull all these disparate elements and managed to link them all together in a great way.

Yeah that is pretty cool! That is kinda how I imagined it to look. Nice to see Destiny 😄.

Need a bigger version!

Just read the new Sandman Overture, it was great! Can't wait for #4! New Sinestro was alright as well.

recklessly hopping around the universe in an effort to gain ultimate knowledge, with no regard for the long-term ramifications said actions might have on creation, has never been highfather's MO. that's something darkseid, or even metron would try...but highfather? please. srsly

Man it would've been awesome if Metron did something like that...

it'd just be awesome to have a major story centered around metron for once. i don't think we've ever been privy to something like that.
