DC continues to not want my money.

she's got his sweet, sweet, braini-chair ):0!

Golly! Morgan Edge wants to ban aliens from Earth? What a brilliantly innovative new plotline!

Still no Adventure Comics - presumably because Lo3W has slipped again? But then again, wasn't the first arc of Adventure supposed to be NOT Legion related?

...and still no Superman Secret Origin

Will DC make the last part of Lo3W into an Annual, after all when it slips again, it will be 12 months since the first part was published!

I can see your plight. I have the same problem with Marvel's post Invasion aftermath as of late.
For me, totally diggin all the Superman-related titles now, so there's no complaining here. A little disappointed that Andy Clarke's not the artist for R.E.B.E.L.S. in June again. Maybe just a fill-in. Besides Mon-El, looks like Congorilla on this month's Superman cover. Might have a connection with James Robinson's Justice League mini. No Adventure Comics? You're keeping me in suspense, Johns!

Bummed no news on Adv, but didn't expect it anyways as I figured a solit that big would have had more info leak before hand (or new announcements).

Not thrilled about the Superman covers, but I think the interior art will look nice.

Other than that the DC solits were "same-old same-old" to me, but with Blackest Night around the corner (july?) they have to pick up at some time...

DiDio said in his latest 20 answers it would be the "latter part" of the year to keep it on schedule. What a concept.

Mon-El looks like Alec Baldwin. It's the lips, I think.

Yes, the artist definitely used that or a very similar picture as the basis for that cover/Lar.

actually, i think robinson used himself for reference. and if you look at his other work, those are facial features that are sort of "default" in his images. a lot of artists have a "default" nose shape, lip shape, etc. and mon-el is the most "default" looking boy I could ever imagine (with cos as a close second).

As for Adv Comics, they're waiting until after Lo3W to kcik it off, because apparantly it's tied together.

I love your insights!


I thought Robinson was the writer ~ he's the cover artist, too?!
Shades of Shooter!
I'm gonna have to look at the credits more closely.

oh! no! james robinson = writer, andrew robinson = cover artist. whoa, i never realized they had the same last name until now...

Laugh out loud!
