The Justice League versus… Improvisation
Sigh. Bizarro and Lex Luthor are looking pretty bromantic here. Although the “Game of Speaking Only When Touching” sounds even more nefarious when you type it out. Thanks to Topless Robot for reminding us why we can’t have nice things.

‘Twas the Night Before Wednesday…
Batman and Robin #7: Grant Morrison is joined by another new artistic collaborator as a third story arc begins—his Seaguy and Manhattan Guardian collaborator Cameron Stewart. (Hooray!) This arc is entitled “Blackest Knight” and will guest-star The Knight, The Squire and Batwoman.

There’s a room of shadows that get so dark, brother…
Why not him? He’s going to be in one of the myriad Justice League or Justice Society titles, so it’s unlikely he’ll be freed up for the birds. Besides which, neither any of these characters nor Gail Simone have all that close a connection to him.
The Gold Exchange Q&A: Dan Jurgens on Booster Gold #28
With Blackest Night behind him, Booster Gold was back to business-as-usual this month, with the first really “ordinary” issue since Dan Jurgens took over the title. Between chaotic crossovers, time travel disasters and fill-in teams, Jurgens stepped into his role as writer of Booster...

Marvel Looks to Exploit “Blackest Night”
The catch? All qualifying titles are DC Comics. Recent issues of Adventure Comics, Booster Gold, Doom Patrol, Justice League of America, Outsiders and R.E.B.E.L.S., which were ordered by retailers in huge numbers because of their connection the DC’s Blackest Night event and its related ring...

Justice League International is back–but is Ted Kord?
Looks like it, folks. DC announced today that Keith Giffen and Judd Winick will be resurrecting the Justice League International in a biweekly maxiseries called Justice League: Generation Lost. The cover by Tony Harris that was used by DC to promote the series, though, seems to feature mo...

Review: Robin Hood Season 3, on DVD Tuesday
Before watching Robin Hood Season 3 on DVD this week, my thinking was that one of the appeals of a Robin Hood TV series is the same as it might be for Zorro, Batman or even Sherlock Holmes. Having a central character who’s instantly recognizable, whose challenges, enemies, friends and philo...
Early morning news from DC Entertainment coming?
Alex Segura, DC Entertainment’s DC Universe publicity rep (read: he promotes the mainstream, superhero aspect of DC’s comics publishing empire), had a cryptic message on the company’s blog, The Source, Friday night. He told readers: “[DC Executive Editor] Dan DiDio just swung by my o...

“Back with a vengeance in 2010.” (Updated 12/27)
So what’s happened lately that might play into this? Characters like Blue Beetle, Superboy and Kid Flash/Impulse, who have been written with a humorous aspect in the past, have been freed up lately. Also free of obligations right now is Wally West, who served on the Justice League Europe f...

Opinion: Not Quite as Special, Yet Still Very Special Christmas Specials
If they ever assembled a Justice League: North Pole, the founding members would be pretty obvious. There’s Rudolph and Charlie Brown, Ebenezer scrooge, and Frosty would be on the roster, the Grinch… but the superpower of warm fuzzy holiday sentiment isn’t limited to just the big guns. The...
I suppose calling it Justice League: Arsenal Disarmed would have been crass.
Have you been following Justice League: Cry For Justice? Yeah, me neither. But DC Comics released the solicitation for a March-shipping special entitled Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal, and it apparently picks up on something that happened in the last issue of Cry. Specifically, Roy...

Okay, okay we get it. Can we talk about something else now?
In DC Comics’ controversial 2004-2005 miniseries Identity Crisis, writer Brad Meltzer revealed that classic Justice League foe Dr. Light, who first came on the scene in 1962 with a plot to send each Leaguer into a different dimension using a disco ball, had once raped Sue Dibny, the wife o...

The Gold Exchange Q&A: Booster Gold #27
Fans reading solicitations will know that Booster Gold #29 involves Hank Henshaw, the astronaut who would later become the Cyborg Superman. That solicitation probably doesn’t bode well for some of our supporting characters who are, at present, apparently taking a little vacation in C...

Morrison’s Inspiration: Decoded?
Viking Batman? Pirate Batman, you say? “My name is Bruce Anthony Wayne. Son to murdered parents. Father to countless orphans. Member of the Justice League of America and loyal servant of the Lady Justice. And I will have my vengeance, in this event, or the next.”

Linkarama@Newsarama
Seconded!: At The Cool Kids Table, Ben Morse has a nicely written post about how the Kelly/Mahnke JLA run was underrated and overlooked. At the time it suffered quite a bit from its proximity to the Morrison/Porter/Dell run, of which it was a sort of extension, but I’ll be damned if DC’s had a...

Random thoughts on the October 2009 super-comics sales charts
The latest issues of Blackest Night proper and Green Lantern both sold over 100K, while Blackest Night: Batman, Blackest Night: Superman and Green Lantern Corps all sold between 78K and almost 87K, but poor Blackest Night: Titans was lagging like 15K behind at in the neighborhood of 63K.

Review: Superman: The Complete Animated Series on DVD

James Robinson’s dark god demands fictional blood!
He reappeared later in the run and ultimately joined the Justice League, but has had few appearances in the last decade or so. The last time I saw him was in a three-part Action Comics story arc by Kurt Busiek, Fabian Nicieza and Pete Woods, where he was part of a ragtag group of superheroes Sup...

Legion Blogpost: Who is . . . Wilcox?!?!
Okay, some of you are saying, “Who?” Sensor Girl appeared most recently via reference in “Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds” and in-person in “The Lightning Saga” storyline that crossed between “Justice League of America” and “Justice League of America.” She’s a long-time member of...

“Perry Announces Superhero Team To Patrol Border, Maybe Spawn Cable Series”: Hmm, I bet the Justice League would cream these guys. Ditto the Avengers. And the Outsiders, New Teen Titans, New Warriors and maybe even the Great Lakes Initiative.

SUPER ARTICULATE: What once was old is new again…
Though what’s downright puzzling is the inclusion of Batgirl Cassandra Cain. At what point has she EVER been in a Justice League story, much less illustrated by McGuinness? Why they went with her over — oh, I don’t know — Green Arrow Connor Hawke (still inexplicably untouched by DCD), Azte...

Justice League First Look: Straight from “The Source”
DC’s new “The Source” blog posted new info and images on the forthcoming Justice League: Cry for Justice today. While we’ve heard the team line-up before, this is the first (to my recollection) glimpse of the villains. Can we say “Legion of Doom”, boys and girls? I’d also guess that there wil...

J.M. DeMatteis on JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL Vol. 4
One of the best aspects of DC’s recent push to reissue old material has been Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis’ Justice League International, which has now seen four hardcover collections (with the first recently released in paperback, and more of both formats to come). With the recent relea...

The Shadow Cabinet: Idiots, Every Last One of ‘Em
But wait, there’s more. Assuming the League would not be at full strength with a few of their members coming to Dr. Light’s rescue, the Shadow Cabinet figure it would be a good time to break into the Hall of Justice. They were right, as long as you consider “not at full strength” to be a team consis...
