Commentary on DC's October Solicitations
By Blurred View 6 Comments
...Do even Batman's kneepads have pointy bat ears? His enemies better wear armored cups.
Justice League International #2
Still no mention of Max Lord. Way to capitalize on Generation Lost, DC!
Aquaman #2
A piranha man? Go for the hand! Bite for the hand!
Wonder Woman #2
Good. Diana's still wearing pants. ...Rarely have I ever said that about a woman.
Flash #2
So Flash is going to think... faster? Yeah, that will make Barry more exciting.
Captain Atom #2
It's the flamey hair. I could do without the flamey hair.
Fury of Firestorm #2
Firestorm smash punies? Well... at least they are trying something different here. You have to give them that.
Mr. Terrific #2
Come on. How smart can this guy really be if the best name he could come up for himself was Brainstorm?
Green Arrow #2
...What horrible thing is going on with Ollie's facial hair there?
Hawkman #2
It's always silly when solicitations ask questions like this. Can Hawkman turn the tables on his new enemy? Or is this book canceled after this issue?
DC Universe Presents #2
...Okay then.
My Greatest Adventure #1
Oh, oh. What have they done to Robotman. What is that.
Action Comics #2
Now ask him why American pick on Michael Jackson so much.
Superboy #2
I'm just really not liking the cover art for this book. Really kills any excitement I try to build up.
Supergirl #2
Don't make fun of her non-kneepads, Superman.
Batman #2
Batman. He can fly his motorcycle. What you got?
Batwing #2
Seriously, I am actually pretty interested in this series. It definitely looks like it could be interesting.
Detective Comics #2
A serial killer named the Ripper. It must have taken some real creative muscle flexing to come up with that.
Batman: the Dark Knight #2
What is this madness? Paul Jenkins? Is DC actually moving toward having a writer... write a book? I do not comprehend.
Batman and Robin #2
Hey, Mr. Tomasi? We did this already with Jason Todd.
Batgirl #2
Is thinking "Aim for the spine" just too cruel?
Huntress #1
Of course DCnU goes with the armored look for Huntress. Of course it does.
Nightwing #2
Okay. Here's the thing. If you create a new character and give that character Wolverine claws? You fail. That is failure. There is much shame in it.
Red Hood and the Outlaws #2
No. I'm not doing it. I am above this. ...And maybe every joke has already been made.
Catwoman #2
That just looks unsafe.
Green Lantern #2
At least Geoff Johns is finally being honest about who his star character is.
Green Lantern Corps #2
They are totally not the Borg.
Green Lantern: New Guardians #2
Aw, don't tell me DC has unsluttied the Star Sapphires. It fits. They wield the cosmic light of sluttiness.
Shade #1
I wonder if this even fits with the new continuity, because... it doesn't really sound like it.
Justice League Dark #2
Needs some Detective Chimp.
Swamp Thing #2
...That cover looks a little rapey. "Swamp Thing branches out in ways you never saw coming" does not help.
Stormwatch #2
I still wish there were more actual Stormwatch characters in Stormwatch.
Deathstroke #2
It seems like even DC is aware that Deathstroke's new sword is huge and ridiculous.
Suicide Squad #2
Does Deadshot not have his wrist guns anymore? That's no fun.
Voodoo #2
...Now kiss. What?! I'm not the only one thinking that!
All-Star Western #2
Crime Bible? This may have just won me over.
Static Shock #2
The covers need to be better than that if DC doesn't want this book to immediately crash.
