If that is a cover it's usually where the barcode goes so no.

If it a spread expect a Twix ad to cover it.

I snagged JL3k in that sale, and just caught up this afternoon (mostly inspired by how fun the 8 page preview of the relaunch is). It takes a few issues to find it's feet beyond 'JL but they're all assholes'... OK, that's unfair, but given how loud Superman and Wonder Woman are, it's very easy for it to seem like it's all of them, but DeMatteis and Giffen find the rhythm about 3 issues in, once they start honing in on the SECRET ORIGIN of the new league. Kind of a shame that 3001 is probably going to drop the current arc and just do a timeskip, considering there were like 3 dangling subplots in the last issue.

Does it end with #15? I started collecting the last few due to Beetle and Booster, and wanted to be sure I didn't miss any before the relaunch.

Seems so, #15's the last one on Comixology, and 3001 #1 is out on Wednesday, I think.

And the preview strip made it look like the JLI stuff was being mostly dropped, though that might just be because it's only 8 pages, and you don't want to deal with that stuff there.

Hey, JLI crew: cool.

Hey, another Flash: not cool.

I like Teri being THE Flash, and having to deal with what that means, especially with a Hal Jordan that's very intent on her living up to Barry Allen. (Also kinda waiting for a reveal that because of the unique way she got revived/got her powers, that she's a for-real Flash, proper Speed Force power and all, though the creative team might be shying away from that in order to keep the power level of the team manageable.)

Edit: I hope we find out Gal Gardner's origin and her first words are "...again?"

Not sure if this is a typo or not, but the solicit for Bombshells refers to Mera as the Princess of Atlanta. I'm sure I'm ready for a world in which Mera is written by Chris Claremont, sugah.

I was bitching about the sneak peek and how it seemed to ignore the riks vigilantism entailed by presenting the kids as incredibly competent. People here pointed out how that could be adressed down the line and I'd said if that happened I'd admit my mistake.

I agree that I don't like the idea of normal kids being competent vigilantes out of nowhere, even if I'm usually able to forgive it if the story is good.

But saying you hope a kid in the comic died because of it is pretty extreme.

I really dig the idea of JLUnited's team constantly shifting. A guest artist three issues in is a bit concerning, though I like Paul Pelletier.

quote:

Guest artist Paul Pelletier joins the JLU for a special storyline that sees Stargirl and the team of Steel, Robotman, Batgirl and Vandal Savage enter a war zone that’s at once very familiar and utterly weird. Plus: the long awaited return of a legendary DC Comics hero.

e: Speaking of guest artists, Jock's doing Batman #44! :swoon:

Four issues is rather short for what's being billed as a game changing arc, but considering it's running between all four comics that have Superman in top billing that's sixteen issues when you pile them all together.

June 24th. The Sneak Peek seemed okay. http://www.comicbookresources.com/comic-previews/dc-sneak-peek-green-lantern-the-lost-army-dc-comics-2015
It's focused on John Stewart, so if you were doing GLC it's probably worth a look.

Comparing it to his Spectre, it's more mellow and introspective. Recommended for fans of obscure world-building, as it plays with the idea that J'onn had been on Earth for decades before Superman in a couple ways.
