Grant Morrison and Rags Morales on Action Comics.
And Lois and Clark going the way of MJ and Peter.
Morrison tried to do away with the Clark/Lois marriage once before, in the "Superman 2000" proposal. The interesting thing is that the "solution" Morrison, Mark Millar, Tom Peyer, and Mark Waid came up with really wasn't that different than what JMS and Joe Quesada did in the Spider-Man books.
^ Yeah. If they break them up which seems to be the big rumor right now, at least have Lois retain the knowledge of his identity. The other rumor that Bleeding Cool reported last week was that Clark and Diana are getting together.
I hope that in Action Comics #1 or Superman #1, Clark wakes up alone in his apartment. Maybe Lois calls him because they're working on a story and Clark was a no show and we get the idea they arent married and never were. No magic. No devils. Just a new status quo.
I'm glad to see the stories in Weird Worlds are continuing in My Greatest Adventure. I haven't picked it up yet (trade-waiting), but I try to support non-Lantern non-LoSH space titles, and I was worried I might be getting only half a story.
Although: "My Greatest Adventure"? Really? I appreciate some of the retro titles (like Mystery in Space) but this one is just bad.
EDIT: Just poked around Paul Cornell's blog, where he calls the Etrigan thing "part of what I'll be doing in DC's relaunch of 52 first issues in September." So there's something else, I suppose.

In fairness, the memory bomb and Mxy trying to help save Lois' life in the only way he could still would have been more satisfying than a gutless retard trading everything good in his life for a few more months of incontinence and dementia for his aunt. I'm pretty sure Jesus, Friend of Asgard, looks down on that sort of thing.
Even so, the marriage-destroyer in Superman 2000 is only act one of a three act play. You'd think people as bright as Grant Morrison, Mark Millar, Mark Waid, and Joey Bishop would realize that. Throwing out act one of a story with the intention that act two will last forever is, I agree, just about as stupid.
Then again, arguably the weakest parts of All-Star Superman all involve Lois Lane, so I never should have been surprised. They're beautiful, I'll hear you say; yeah, that's true, but there's an ugly undercurrent to them, a character who calls herself Lois Lane who loves Superman for what he can do, and maybe specifically what he can do for her, not who he is. It's all part of the Tarantino School of Misunderstanding Superman.

Which, of course, is horrible. Principally for Diana. It's better than Batman and Diana (given the incongruity in their methods and missions, they should really barely like each other), but it's still pretty bad because of its fan-servicey implications and the implication that Wonder Woman needs a metahuman to get off.

So far I plan on checking out: Pretty much all of stuff featuring Batman and Superman, and their supporting characters, all of the stuff involving members of the Lantern Corps, Hawkman, Green Arrow, and Wonder Woman. Since I'm not really familiar enough with creators to use them as a method of picking series, I'm just going by which characters interest me.
Resurrection Man by it's original creator's! Buy it !!
Some more titles:
Legion Lost #1, set in the present day, by Fabian Nicieza and Pete Woods.
Legion of Super-Heroes #1 by Paul Levitz and Francis Portela.
Teen Titans #1 by Scott Lobdell, Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund. It's reportedly a complete reboot with the first appearance of Superboy and what looks like Wally West de-aged back to Kid Flash status. It also features Tim Drake.
Static Shock #1 by John Rozum and Scott McDaniel.
Hawk and Dove #1 by Sterling Gates and Rob Liefeld(!).

Static Shocks' getting a new book? I am excite!
I have mixed feelings about de-aged Wally. I think the redesign on Tim's costume is the first of the Lee-booted costumes that I really like. He looks badass.
Since Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian are all accounted for now, I'll be kinda pissed if Steph, Cass and Helena remain lost in the aether.
I wonder what's to become of Tiny Titans.
ETA: Just saw this on the solicit for Teen Titans #1
Buh? Is there any precedent for this? I'm assuming WG is still Cassie?

Ugh. How he continues to get work is beyond me.
She's blonde on the cover, so I'm assuming it's Cassie. The Red Robin redesign looks ok - not crazy about Superboy's look. I can't tell if that's Bart or Wally as Kid Flash, and I've no idea who the other two females are.
UPDATE: DC is telling Newsarama that it is Bart, not Wally as Kid Flash.
Legion Lost looks to be Tellus, Gates, Dawnstar, Wildfire, Timber Wolf, Yera (Chameleon Girl), and...Cosmic Boy? Invisible Kid? Somebody new?
I don't mind that as it kind of makes sense for the character to me. What I can't stand is Wonder Girl's outfit. Just tragic.
Red Robin looks epic.
Kid Flash or whatever - meh.
What I hate is that lame hatchy scratchy disproportionate expressionless art. That stuff sucks. I adore Amanda Conner and Josh Middleton and Takeshi Miyazawa (esp on Runaways and Mary Jane!!!). That stuff just fills me with bliss when I see it.
Barry's grandson? How will that work in the new continuity? There's an awful lot of backstory there.
io9 has an interview up with Dan Didio and Jim Lee about today's announcements, like Teen Titans and Legion.
Didio: "I think you're looking at every one of the former Robins to have a real showcase book, and (Teen Titans) will be the primary showcase for Tim Drake."
So, where's Stephanie Brown's "showcase book"? :-/
