I got MY monthlies today! And in spite of myself, I read BIRDS OF PREY 57 and BATGIRL:Y1 8 already, as well as looking through FLASH 200. BoP was fabulous, and went a long way toward assuaging any misgivings I had over Benes' first issue work. At least, the T&A wasn't the FIRST thing I noticed, and it didn't overpower the story at all. And Gail S. RAWKS!!!  Only 27 books left to read... :rolleyes: Next up: LEGION 22, so I can FInally get in on the spoilerish threads I've been avoiding...

HOORAY, I got some COMICS TODAY!
DR. FATE # 1
HAWKMAN # 18
JSA ALL-STARS # 4
BAD GIRLS # 1
FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE JL # 2
SUPREME POWER (Special Edition) # 1
-- I found it VERY odd that most of these are miniseries. I guess the miniseries ISN'T dead after all...!

Given the short tenures of many of today's "hot" creators, I'm more surprised everything hasn't gone to the mini format. Regular ongoings would be a series of minis, ala John Byrne's NEXT MEN , how the last three story arcs were treated like separate but connected minis.

Povvins-- the Spec Ed edition apparently contains a REPRINT of an early Squadron Supreme appearance (possibly the 1st appearance-- I'm not sure as I only glanced at the back of the book) ala DC's old 100 Page Spectaculars or Marvel's more recent 100 Page Monsters. And... well, YOU know I'm a sucker for that!

I've got their first appearance, when four Avengers (Wanda, Pietro, Hawkeye, and Panther, I think) got shunted to their world while returning from Arkon's dimension. I also have most of the later Serpent Crown story, as well as the Grandmaster story which intro'ed the Squadron SINISTER (as well as the Invaders!). I would've been pissed to get home and find I spent $2 extra for rerints of stories I already HAVE!

Povvins' avatar is indeed da bomb.
I *do* have the Serpent Crown story (which intro'd me to the SS) and it is a favorite.
This reprint appears to be the Wanda/Pietro dealie you mention-- which I have NEVER read, so I am VERY excited! This book will make a fine addition to my SS collection!
Icey-- I am only ASSUMING this is gonna be the remnants of the SS-- Hyperion, Power Princess, Skrullian Skymaster, Amphibian, Dr. Spectrum, Whizzer and Nighthawk (these are the 7 who were the team at the end of SS: NEW WORLD ORDER) but I certainly hope the other surviving SSers -- Arcanna/Moonglow, Skylark/Lady Lark, The Shape and Ape X (hopefully cured of her catatonia!) make an appearance! I'm gonna read these books shortly and post some reviews!

Well I got the only Supreme Power my store still had, with the kid wrapped in the flag on the cover. I think its the regular edition. And I would have liked the special since I don't have that SS appearance.

Does anyone else think that DC has reason to gripe that Marvel is again using their version of the JLA in a miniseries? It's one thing to pit them against the Avengers in an obvious homage, but now they've become their own entity and it's still basically the JLA (this Dr Spectrum even has a green and black outfit!).
Btw, this isn't the same Squadron Supreme we've been reading about -- I guess you can call it an "Elseworlds" version of the Squadron. (which is still, let's face it, the Marvel version of JLA)

Heheh...! I may play around with it now, color it as a "Dark Phoenix" piece for ya! And everyone else, I'm not being coy about sharing this-- the piece involves nudity, and I didn't think this was an appropriate forum. If you want to see it, and alot of OTHER great Moy art, check out the jeffmoyart Y-group!

Moy's nude Phoenix is pretty eye-opening... ...until you see Moy's nude Saturn Girl, Umbra, and... most of all, Triad Triad Triad...!

...Back to my overdose... Legion 22 was excellent. I'd love to see Triad and KK spar when she's not being controlled by Universo... And who's Batista's dealer? I must OWN page 21... or 1... or 13... or 15... DP 22 was kind of a letdown. Solid enough, but they went out with a whimper. Is Cliff any closer to finding the answers he needs? Bummer issue. Green Arrow 28, Hawkman 17, FKAJL 1 and Teen Titans 1 were all excellent. Outsiders 2 was solid, but not among my faves. Someone tell Lardie, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez is doing fill-in art for Hawkman 18!!!  My favorite scene in TT was the talk Kory gve Cassie. But if the bathroom mirror bit means what I think it does, Cassie's in for even more troubling times... My only quibble so far: How can you center a title around the characters' weekends??? Crap... I STILL haven't read JSA 50! Gotta rectify THAT, pronto!

I know what you mean. I guess there was just no way they could cram that into the issue. And we'll probably never know.
