Earth 2 #11

Dr Fate returns, everyone!

"As Dr Fate emerges as the latest hero on Earth 2, what other heroes make a most unexpected appearance?"

Any guesses? Hourman, maybe?

Earth 2 #10

From the solicitations:

As Wotan holds The Flash’s mother hostage, Khalid must finally come to terms with his destiny as Doctor Fate!

Wotan! The new Dr Fate! Man, this series just keeps getting better.

Earth 2 #9

From the solicitations:

As a new story arc begins, DR. FATE makes his Earth 2 debut!
Supernatural powers are emerging on Earth 2, and that means new heroes on the scene—not to mention new villains!

Dr Fate's appearance is no big surprise - he was name-checked a few issues back but it'll be nice to see him back in action.

And Wotan! Who'd have thought that!

The all-new origin of ALAN SCOTT GREEN LANTERN – unlike any GL origin that's come before!
The debut of the all-new HAWKGIRL!

Worlds' Finest #2 And Before Watchmen

Honestly, I saw that cover and thought "Sweet Cthulhu's beard! They've brought back the Anti-Monitor as an enemy for Power Girl and Huntress!"

"HUNTRESS and POWER GIRL versus THE IRRADIATED MAN!
Learn what our heroes have been doing since they arrived here five years ago from Earth Two!"

No such luck - he's apparently The Irradiated Man.

Worlds' Finest #1

Like I was going to pick anything else from DC's May solicitations!

"New ongoing series featuring POWER GIRL and HUNTRESS of Earth 2!
PAUL LEVITZ teams with amazing artists GEORGE PEREZ and KEVIN MAGUIRE.
Discover why these two heroes are stranded on our Earth – and what it means for the heroes of the DC Universe."

I cannot wait!

Don't Ask... Just Buy It! Justice League International #8

From the solicitation:

"The plan was for the JLI was to be installed as Earth’s official protective team. But once Breakdown attacked, that all came to a swift and sudden end. Now, as the pall of death and injury hang over the team, all that matters is survival. Featuring the introduction of a surprise new team member!"

A "surprise new team member"? Would that be Batwing on the cover? If so, it's not much of a surprise. Unless they're referring to the JLI's mystery woman?

Frankenstein, Agent Of S.H.A.D.E. #7

I'll include the solicitation:

"The siege on S.H.A.D.E. City comes to a bloody conclusion, and it may mean the end of the Creature Commandos! With the Hub under Humanid control and Nina’s evil monsters staging a coup, S.H.A.D.E. headquarters is in total disarray. But nothing can prepare Frankenstein for the terrible secret that lies beneath it all!"

but seriously, that cover should be enough to persuade anyone to buy it!

All Star Western #6

From the solicitation:

"Jonah Hex fights a giant bat to the death! But even with his winged foe slain, will he and Amadeus Arkham survive being trapped in a cave with the lost tribe of Miagani Indians? Hex and Arkham must enlist help – including some familiar faces and some surprising saviors – if they’re going to make it out of this death trap and bring justice to the enslaver of Gotham’s underprivileged children."

Seriously, just that first line of "Jonah Hex fights a giant bat to the death!" should be enough for you to know you have to buy this.

Demon Knights #5

Simply because Demon Knights has been splendid fun so far and I can't see this being any different right now.

Seriously, if you're not buying this title, you're missing out.

Green Arrow #4

Keith Giffen and Dan Jurgens writing Green Arrow! JT Krul is off the title and while I've never flat out hated his stuff, I haven't been that impressed, either so I'm all for this change.

Resurrection Man #3

From the solicit:

The femmes fatale known as the Body Doubles have finally tracked down the Resurrection Man – and they seem to know more about him than he does! As they set out to test his abilities to withstand death – literally – Mitch discovers a far darker truth: More than one unearthly power has taken a strong interest in his immortal soul.

Yay! The Body Doubles are back!

Green Lantern #2 (And Power Girl?)

Renegade Green Lantern Sinestro sets a course for Korugar with one purpose: To free his homeworld from the scourge of... The Sinestro Corps?!

Kinda hard to pick something from the full DC solicitations but Green Lantern caught my eye along with this:

I know I read something recently that said Winick was staying with Power Girl but pleeeeeease, DC, can we have Matt Sturges instead?
