Diamond says that IC #1 ships today even though the US had a Monday holiday this week. My shop isn't open yet so I don't know if they got their books. But I do know our friends to the North have their copies today.
So, this is our official spoiler thread. Let's hear some spoilers!

Okay, the big spoiler is that the DC in Demand Page states that (in the wake of Ultimate Marvel's success) ANNUALS ARE BACK starting next February with Teen Titans annual 1, then in March Batman Annual 25.

Plot summary of TT Annual 1 wonders aloud that with the big three at each other's throats can Conner and Cassie find Romance? Looks like a cool play on the Romeo and Juliet Theme.
Okay seriously.

In IC#1 the heroes are a mess. The big three are arguing in the ruins of the watchtower while J'onn is missing. No reveal on who the stranger at the end of the JLA arc is though. They get attacked by Mongul.
The Freedom Fighters fight the Society and are brutally beaten. Fans of the Freedom Fighters might not like the outcome here.
The whole issue is narrated by the timelost hero shown on the final version of the IC#2 cover. He's been watching the universe and is not too pleased about the state of the DCU. He is especially critical of the Big Three and Kon-El.

some quick questions/comments after reading the issue:
(SPOLIERS!)
Did Damage die in the big villain battle? I couldn't tell.
I know who the others at the end of the issue are, but is the Superboy the SA Superboy or what?
Did it seem to anyone else that the earth-three Lex (Alexi) is manipulating the earth-2 Superman? I know he was a good guy back in COIE, but maybe all those years languishing in lombo, just watching things messed with his head.

This Superboy is from Earth-Prime. Besides Ultra, he's the only superhuman from that reality. His first appearance and his only real appearance beyond Crisis and its related titles is DC COMICS PRESENTS #87.

Besides Superboy, wasn't it established in an issue of JLA that the staff of DC were also from Earth-Prime? Folk like Carmine Infantino, Julius Schwartz, Cary Bates and Elliot Maggin made an appearence in one of the JLA/JSA team-ups.
