The Big Stuff this week
Of course I can only pick 3 so my top three pick ups are
- Hawkman #1 Though I haven’t read it, people universally love it!! I’m looking forward to it. Please explain what’s so great about it in the comments!
- Flash #48 Flash War continues to heat up! As everyone is now in the future.
- Justice League of China #24 The conclusion of The Justice League of China. It’s sad its over (totally blaming Bendis even though its probably not his fault). This series is WAY better than you could ever imagine and introduced all sorts of characters while embracing chineese and other asian cultures.
4.Starting Points
Plastic Man #1 is the start of a short but interesting run and a perfect introduction to the character.
Titans Special #1 The start of Abnett’s Titans run. It is rare for dc to double ship a title which isn’t a tentpole title. Generally that’s a good sign of quality. In this case, the run starts out strong, but loses its voice amongst all the tie-ins and character changes. (Ric, Heroes in Crisis, Drowned Earth, etc.)
Detective Comics #982 Starts a new but short creative run which focuses on the Outsiders. For anyone reading Batman and the Outsiders, this is a run that has been referenced in it!

All of these titles have people putting in lots of hard work for you. I know I take roughly 2 hours on and off an issue to write (mostly because I revise and get stumped). So please give them the support. The more you guys support them the more interesting titles may come into play.
