The Wonder Woman hardcover is coming out in May.

I actually like that costume.

Oh, dear - they sure pulled a "Clark Kent" on "Red" in Superboy. She really looks different without her glasses.

[Hound of UIster]

She looks nothing like the Fairchild in Gen 13.

The Supergirl writers are interviewed by Newsarama....an interesting one too.

fundamentally, between Kryptonians and Earthlings, there is a common morality and common ethic

Humbug.

Anyway, I'll give them this: it looks like Watchmen compared to vol. 4.

Lol.

Caitlin does look different but I just chalked that up as this is an older version and slightly drawn differently.

Aquaman #2: Deputy goes from door to door looking for Aquaman. Funny stuff. More good art and great writing.

Nightwing #1 and #2: I don't think this title is well written. Dick's internal dialog is too cocky and unreal. Batgirl not only does it better but rings true. The story is interesting though and I want to see where it goes.

Birds of Prey #1 and #2: Cute girls, not much else. I'm done. Or maybe not. I want to see what they do with Poison Ivy.

Justice league #2: Meh. Still gonna get issue #3 though. Wonder Woman shows up.

Green Lantern: Larfleeze Christmas Special: A one off issue featuring the Orange Lantern Larfleeze. I've been looking for this for a few weeks and I found it. Can't wait to sink my teeth into it.



What I'm picking up today or tomorrow...

Birds of Prey #3 (may as well)
Catwoman #3
Justice League #3
Nightwing #3
Supergirl #3
Wonder Woman #3

^ The Larfreeze Christmas special was absolutely fantastic. Geoff Johns did a wonderful job with that one.

What is the actual Katana content of #2? Substantial? I mean, I don't care overmuch about Black Canary (no wig, no peace), let alone Agent Starling or Uma Thurman, but Katana is pretty cool.

It's substantial for a comic book. We see her both in and out of costume, and we learn about about her background, her state of mind and her sword through a bit of exposition. We also see her in action.

Ha! I picked that up the second I saw it at Comixology!

I think I'm only getting Justice League and Wonder Woman today, but will probably pick up Aquaman #2 and maybe I, Vampire 2-3.

Well, she's nowhere near as hot, at least in that single panel. She does look somewhat more realistically like a woman with hypertrophied muscles, but where's the fun in that?

I'm enjoying whatever the hell is going on between Red and Rose and the whole triangular thing...Superboy's internal narrative is sometimes obtuse and unlikely, though.

[Admiral_Young]

It really is going to be interesting when Clark finally encounters his clone. I wonder if they're going to play up the "Young Justice" relationship the two have with each other (or lack thereof of one)?

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Superboy is growing on me. I certainly didn't expect to be following this one or Supergirl with any real interest beyond initial curiosity.

[Admiral_Young]

^ Same. I'm not feeling Teen Titans though.
