I can't wait to find out that every time Adam ZETAS he's actually killing himself and is going to be put on trial for killing himself thousands of times.

The relationship in MM more than makes up for Batman not getting married.

These covers tell me all I need to know. One looks like the Adam Strange comic I've been wanting to read for years. The other looks like the Tom King version of Adam Strange that I don't want anything to do with.

I imagine the two artists are doing some duality of Adam Strange thing, so simply skip Gerads pages for a light breezy space adventure :)

Honestly, a B or C lister like Strange seems more like King's speed in terms of how much he should be allowed to touch continuity without too much oversight and how edgy he's feeling. That said, it's probably also meant to keep on with the events in Omega Men that no one else has done too much with.

Are these Giants that are solicited the same as those that were previously available only in Wallmart? I'm sure I remember reading they were being re-launched to be made available everywhere going forward.

I hope this is the case, as I'm in the UK and have been importing the Wallmart comics so this will save me a ton of cash.

You can buy the former Walmart exclusives as "Superman Up in the Sky", "Batman Universe", and "Wonder Woman: Come Back to Me". First issues of each are out now.

Yeah I've got those, but I'm an idiot when it comes to Superman and Flash books so I have to have the first prints of new content no matter the cost.

A few other observations:

- Harley Quinn everywhere! I don't get the appeal of this character at all, and never have, even when BTAS introduced her in the 90s.

- Joker everywhere. I guess this is what sells these days.

- What's with the Prestige format books? For the longest time, DC published *nothing* in Prestige format, and now there are at least a half-dozen books this month alone in the format. They've also extended it with the oversized Prestige format used in Superman: Year 1 and Batman: Damned. I don't mind the oversized format, but do wonder if there's enough market for all these Prestige books.

- Batman 1989 Movie Adaptation in hardcover deluxe edition! They don't do these things anymore and I loved this when it came out. Not sure what it means when they refer to scans of original art (this is a good thing, I hope)? I liked the art in this thing and still have the 1989 standard and deluxe editions in an old longbox at my folks' house (I think!)

- Robin Bronze Age Omnibus...I'd really like to see more Bronze Age stuff collected as I've never had the chance to read much of it, but not sure I'm so keen on them pulling apart individual stories instead of doing the entire issue. I don't know if this is the best way to collect this stuff, so would be curious what others think of this approach. I have the Golden Age Omnibuses (Omnibii?) for Superman and Batman and have been pleased with those, and was hoping for more of that for Silver Age and Bronze Age Batman and 'Tec comics.

On DC stuff I think I am done with Detective Comics. I like Tomasi but his run just feels....there. Like I appreciate one and dones usually but I just don't feel like the stories are doing much. His recent one with the Joker was....okay? I mean it had some moments that were nice but it felt like it was missing something.

He was a gross poster for years. He made a claim that Jason Todd being crow-barred was the same manner of violation as a real woman getting raped.
