Yeah, you tell . . . hey, hang on, that's what I do . . .

DC's March Solicitations

FOREVER EVIL #7

It’s evil versus evil in the shocking “take-no-prisoners” conclusion to FOREVER EVIL! What will be the fate of Lex Luthor and his Injustice League? Who will live – and who will die? And why is The Hooded Man the most feared being from the Syndicate's world? Do not miss this startling finale that will leave the DC universe reeling and reveal the secrets to the future!

Yet another "things will never be the same" promotion for the end of the first line wide crossover that, with the exception of Villains Month doesn't really seem to have impacted most of the titles I read.

And I'm still betting on Earth-3's Alex Luthor as the Hooded Man's identity.

I hear that all the time, though thankfully never from Mrs Earth-Prime

DC's February Solicitations

FOREVER EVIL #6
The final fate of Nightwing! The most unlikely of allies have set the Crime Syndicate in their sights — and they’re playing for keeps while the life of a hero hangs in the balance! Plus, the identity of the mysterious man in the hood is finally revealed!

Nightwing - will he live or die? And the man in the hood? My money's still on Earth-3's Alexander Luthor who will join forces with this world's Lex to defeat the Syndicate.

All-Star Western #27

Hex’s journey through the modern age continues! Guess whose attention Hex attracts as he makes his way to Metropolis!

Hex facing off against Superman - can't wait!

DC's December Solicitations

ALL-STAR WESTERN #26

Trapped in modern times, Jonah Hex sets out to find the money he left buried around the southwest. But a chance encounter with John Constantine sets the Civil War vet on a collision course with the occult.

Jonah Hex on a bike and running across John Constantine! Why isn't the rest of the DCU this much fun?

DC's August Solicitations

All Star Western #23:

"Hex is trapped in modern-day Gotham City…and he’s getting ready to shoot his way out! Find out how he got here—and see what part Batman plays! And in the backup story, the Vigilante seeks revenge!"

As cool as it might be to see Hex in the present day, I'm wondering if the Vigilante is going to be Greg Saunders or a totally new guy.

Power Girl forgets the point where confidence ends and arrogance starts

DC's July Solicitations

The big news from DC's July solicitations was the reveal of Trinity War not as a standalone mini-series as most events have been, but as a story running across the various Justice League titles. Justice League, JL Dark and JL of America will host the main story with, at the very least, Trinity of Sin: Pandora and Trinity of Sin: Phantom Stranger feeling the effects at the same time.

I wouldn't discount a number of one-shots tying in with it either.

Superboy's not impressed with Red Robin's new digs.

DC's June Solicitations

TRINITY OF SIN: PANDORA #1 - sort of tempted by this but, I have to admit, more from the point of it's a multiversal title, something that feeds into the forthcoming Trinity War and so I'm more interested in how it fits in rather than the character herself. Maybe I'll pick it up, maybe not.

Monday Memories #2 - Generations 3 #8

Each Monday this year I'll be taking a look back at a random comic, prestige format issue, graphic novel or collection of reprints from amongst my 3,000 or so comics that date from 1962 to 2003 - I figured anything in the last ten years would be too recent to hark back to.

The comics are chosen completely at random and apart from a four week lead-in period, even I don't know what I'll be looking at in the weeks to come!
