LAWL!

 

[SpideyInATree]

So, is Countdown to Mystery supposed to take the place of that Dr. Fate series that was supposed to come out or is that still coming out? I was actually looking forward to that new Dr. Fate.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

- ****ing hell, the new Dr. Fate is Kent ****ing Nelson? Goddamnit, DC, why are you so determined to make so many of your good second-stringers boring?

- The Search for Ray Palmer looks like it will well and truly rock, and probably be the saving grace of the disaster Countdown is quickly spiraling into for me. Given that Kyle, the Wildstorm universe, and Ray Palmer are all involved, I can even overlook the fact that Jason I'm-a-useless-plot-parasite Todd is there, too. I really hope Captain Atom pops in to guide the trio around on their search. That would be the perfect cap to this part of the event.

- Suicide Squad sounds like a nice complementary series to Checkmate. I'll be checking that out, especially with Ostrander writing.

- What is this nonsense in the Tales of the Sinestro Corps solicitation about Kyle's "downfall"?

- I hope the Titans of Tomorrow kill the modern-day Titans and take their place. God, the ToT were so much more awesome in every way than the current Titans wound up...

So, is Countdown to Mystery supposed to take the place of that Dr. Fate series that was supposed to come out or is that still coming out? I was actually looking forward to that new Dr. Fate.

It seems that way. The only real difference I see between CtM and Dr. Fate is the artist--Justiniano is drawing the former while Paul Gulacy was attached to the latter before its solicitations were pulled. Gerber was writing both. So, basically, it looks like Gulacy couldn't draw it for some reason, which is fine by me. I much, much, much prefer Justiniano's art to Gulacy's, especially where mystical stuff is concerned. Justiniano excels at the spooky metaphysical atmosphere that anything involving Dr. Fate requires.

Gerber has said on his blog they had to reduce the Dr. Fate to a miniseries rather than an ongoing as he's been really unwell (his blog if anyone wants to know more). The new Dr. Fate isn't Kent Nelson as in the original though - it's his great nephew. Really, I'm just happy they aren't tacking the title onto an already established character.

Really looking forward to Suicide Squad.

TWO Ron Marz books in one month if fine by me. I think Search for Ray Palmer sounds like a great title and I always found Parallax written by Marz interesting.

New Uncle Sam mini !!

 

[SpideyInATree]

Then it looks like I'll be picking up Countdown to Mystery.

 

[Anubis]

Dude, they said Kent Nelson was gonna be the New Fate months ago.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I know, but it still irks me. And that grandnephew bullcrap is total bullcrap. I'm sure his grandnephew will either happen to be identical in every way to dear ol' great uncle Kent or he'll be the utter antithesis of the Golden Age Kent. I'm really bored of extremes.

 

[Anubis]

I'm just saying. It's a bit late for the righteous indignation.

 

[Harlekin]

Suicide Squad...

Suicide Squad...

You can only rock.

I'm so excited.

[hippie_hunter]

If that cover of Teen Titans is any indication, the new League will have 6 of the core seven Leaguers.

Hippie_Hunter is a very happy man right now

 

[Darthphere]

As am I. But the fact that they're adding backstories and charging you more for it is a little, dickish.

 

[CConn]

Well, we kinda do need to see what WW's new origin is, given the Perez stuff (probably) isn't in continuity anymore, is it?

 

[Doc Destruction]

Dude, they said Kent Nelson was gonna be the New Fate months ago.

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Full solicits are up.

 

[Kebab gud]

i dont get it...
we allready know the cover to Green Arrow/Black Canary.. but its not there?

 

[Darthphere]

Checkmate can't bring down the Wall yo.

 

[BrianWilly]

Is that the actual cover? Wow. It's as if they draw power from shame.

 

[Darthphere]

Is that the actual cover? Wow. It's as if they draw power from shame.

Both Marvel and DC have been doing that lately with their novelists turned comic book writers. It's for bookstores, like people who read their novels are going to be tricked into buying a TPB.

 

[SpideyInATree]

The Batman books are just looking extremely fantastic. I'd highly suggest checking those bad boys out. And I can't WAIT to see Checkmate...The Wall will fall, bank on it!

 

[newmexneon]

WTF is going on with the Flash?

 

[CaptainCanada]

Hilariously, the trade for Jodi Picoult's run is out at the same time Heinberg's last issue ships.

 

[Anubis]

WTF is going on with the Flash?

Go read the last three or four pages of the Flash thread.

 

[Conan]

I just want to know why Wonder Girl gets her own book before Power Girl. I mean IMO what made Wonder Girl was Conner with out him she is useless.
