Voodoo <3

ragdollpurpson Sept. 16, 2011 at 12:54 p.m.

Oooh, GA vs. Grifter.

TheBlackHoodon Sept. 16, 2011 at 12:56 p.m.

I am really liking how infrequently DC is crossing over their characters. I was really pumped to see Kyle Rayner appearing in VooDoo 3 and even more excited to see Grifter vs. Green Arrow. I hope DC keeps the crossovers to a minimum so that these interactions have a greater impact. I am REALLY excited for some of these books, I thought the first "Men of War" was fantastic.

RedheadedAtrocituson Sept. 16, 2011 at 12:57 p.m.

@ninjacommando: @Mucklefluga: Yes indeed. Yes indeed, hehe.

elayem98on Sept. 16, 2011 at 1:01 p.m.

1. im looking forward to stormwatch but they really butchered the costumes. Apollo used to have my favorite costume in all of comics and midnighters was really cool too. Now...eww...

2. YYYESSSSSSS grifter green arrow crossover omygod yesssss

3. im not going to read voodoo but that cover is really really good and creative

Love how frequently the crossovers are happening. That way if you are only getting some books, you can still get to understand more of whats going in the DCU with other characters.

BTW these look FKING AWESOMMMMEEEEE!!!!!!!

Once the first three issues are done, it looks like things will start to pick up.

Suicided Squad looks the most attractive though. Adding Captain Boomerang is going to be a great addition. I think the group will eventually break off into two teams. One will be the Suicide Squad and the other will be Secret Six. Hopefully.

Ron Marz could write a report on bathroom sanitation and I'd buy it.

@Grim: It's possible. But Superman mentioned in Swamp Thing that he remembered dying. The Death of Superman could have already happened in some fashion in the DCnU.

super_psychoon Sept. 16, 2011 at 1:21 p.m.

Grifter vs Green arrow, hell yeah

shawn87on Sept. 16, 2011 at 1:28 p.m.

I passed on Grifter #1 today but now that I see Green Arrow will be in the series soon I may pick it up
