And now, here once again is the next batch of comics coming out from DC for September 2009. Geez, how time flies... fall stuff being solicited already.
Plan to buy:
Nothing.
Might consider buying:
Nothing.
Yeah, I know... nothing really seemed interesting as a "must-buy" or "might-buy".
Comments:
Yet another new origin story for Superman is coming out, this one in a six-issue miniseries and presumably including elements of the last (failed) one ("Birthright") and the Silver Age elements brought back recently (a Superboy-in-all-but-name/costume for Clark, etc.).
In other Superman-related news, October sees a collection of Nightwing and Flamebird stories from the 70s "Superman Family" run coming out. Odd that they call it "Flamebird and Nightwing", when it was the other way around (Flamebird being the "Robin" to Nightwing's "Batman"). Wonder if it's to avoid confusion with Dick Grayson's use of the name...
Not sure what 'Batman: The Brave and the Bold" involves, but "Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam" features a fight against what looks like Mr. Atom, Captain Marvel's atomic-powered robotic foe.
"Super Friends" features old Silver Age JLA villain "Headmaster Mind", a villain whose shtick was running a crime school for teaching criminals (hence the British-educational-system-termed name and pun "Headmaster Mind").
"Looney Tunes" this month seems to be reprints... wonder if this means cancellation is near for one of DC's longer-lasting modern humor titles (and literally *only* regular exposure for Looney Tunes in the US, no thanks to Boomerang/Cartoon Networks' inept management and the shoddy way Ted Turner's properties are merged with Time-Warner keeping them off the air).
The only "Showcase" volume this month is a volume two of old horror title "House of Secrets."
