Oh boy! Solicitation day!

Unrequited and it feels so good...
Do you love Frank Miller?

Oh yes, you LOVE Frank Miller. Enough to drop $100 on the Absolute edition of the Dark Knight Twopack. (Really? It's a little longer than the fancy edition of Watchmen, but an extra $25? OK.) At this rate, the ASSBAR covers will be nipples pierced with wee little Batarangs by September.

Boobwing!

If the plot of this one is REALLY what's indicated by this cover, I'll buy it. I can think of no better way for Batman to die than in a big fat headlock.

HEE.

I think this is supposed to evoke the cover of Action Comics #1. Kinda clever, but the color scheme for Superman is homely.

OH, I'M A FOOTBALL PLAYER. I CAN'T GET THROUGH THE DOOR. I think the artist has made up new muscles for those toys.

I had no idea that the intermediate steps of the Atom's transformation involved nudity. Live and learn. I hope this story reveals the horrors of New Haven for what they really are.

MAKE A WISH I still think the suit looks dumb when it's drawn by anybody but Cully Hamner.

How come all the guy Lanterns get to fly with straight spines, but the chick has to practically press her boobs up against the glass like that? Well, OK, I know why. But still, :(.

Peej is fucking scary.

Model Wobot! You've come back to me!

Not that I want to complain, but I was hoping they would fight someone other than the Royal Flush Gang. Like maybe the Queen Bee. She's pretty cool. And bee-themed! An evil Slavic bee lady with mind control. And eunuchs. Man, I miss her.

Or this guy! Whitey the Flaming Klansman and the even eviller, superpowered reincarnation of John Wilkes Booth. And some redneck with triangles on his chest. You can't tell me you wouldn't love to see Rocket Red and Steel beating the crap out of them. (Boy, that'd be great. No talking, just robotic semi-Communist punching. Hooray!)

Yeah, that'd be great.

Heh. I was waiting to see what you'd say about the Most All Star Wonderous Ass in comics. *slaps Frank Miller*

I'm surprised he didn't draw her ass smooshed against the invisible fourth wall.

Boy, unless Jason or Dick got a boob job (it's possible) we're getting our third Nightwing since OYL started. Goody!

Someone needs to punch Frank Miller in the head repeatedly.

Fourth, I think--either Supertorso or Peej are supposed to be calling themselves that in Kandor too.

Wow. I hate that this means that there're five different DC Nightwings. So my big DC Encyclopaedia is now redundant! Or more than it was even when I bought it (with stuff about Dr Light murdering Sue..)

First Nightwing was Superman, when he and Jimmy (as Firebird) defended Kandor. Then Dick, Jason, Peej and Nightgirlwing.

I'm betting it's Helena.

I'm pretty sure it's that chick Dick has been knocking boots with in the latest Nightwing issues. She seems to have the same powers...

I'd prefer it to be Helena, that's for sure.

Under the HEE:

Is that Superman reaching for Batman's crotch?
And what's up with the bunny ears? Has he been cosplaying with Silver Sorceress's hat again?

Wow. I don't want to be too critical, but what a craptacular bunch of covers at DC this month. Even the usual class acts like James Jean and Eric Powell struck out.

I don't know what's more offensive: the Super-Klansmen, Miller's extended middle finger of a cover, or Yellow Peril Atom. Not to mention that Outsiders cover with the samurai chick who apparently broke her back swiveling her ass to the camera (if anybody actually cared about the Outsiders, that is).

Magenta apparently is the new red at DC, thanks to Bryan Singer's exquisite taste. Because when you wear your underpants over your clothing, heaven forbid it's a primary color.

But, hey, Rokkin!

I dunno, I think the cover to the Fables spinoff is cute--at least the part with the guy and the happy little dog.

Also, Super-Klansmen are GREAT. Come on.

In Soviet Russia, cross burns you!

Jean's covers weren't bad, just not up to his usual standards, I think. OF COURSE you would like the dog.

Also, Super-Klansmen are GREAT.

You said it, I didn't. Well, it's all in the execution. Evan Dorkin or Kyle Baker doing Super-Klansmen would be great. But generic Watchmen copy #37? I don't think so.

I did like Chiang's Spectre cover, because Frylock is the new Spectre.

LOOK I LIKE HAPPY LITTLE DOGS OK (sob)

Yeah, you're right--I think I'm in love with the idea of Super-Klansmen, rather than the Super-Klansmen themselves. They probably won't live up to my standards. (Also, damn you for putting the thought of Kyle Baker doing that in my head. Now it can never be ;_;.)

All I can think when I see that Triangle Man (and no, it's NOT the Weird Al Yankovich song of the same name), is "so, would he be the Anti-anti-anti-gay Avenger?" Or, alternately, "in a bold act of speculative fiction, DC predicts that if the South had won the Civil War, African-Americans would not be having a very fun time! And neither would homosexuals!"

Frank Miller's cover is literally ass. If it is satire, that's almost sublime.

Why do I get the feeling that Bruce Jones got the idea for his run on Nightwing from that episode of Teen Titans where all the Titans started dressing up in Robin's spare costumes? Careful, Nightwing-With-Boobs! You don't want to end up like Robin-With-Boobs! Either of them...

When did Weird Al do that? I know They Might Be Giants did "Particle Man", that had a Triangle Man..

I really want Question Block Man to be Ted. I know it won't be, but I want that to happen very much. He could use Modew Wobots to set up a service to compete with Oracle, just to thank her for not taking his calls when he needed it. :D

Am I the only one disappointed that Boobwing didn't see the return of the cleavage-baring feathery disco suit?

Where is the skinny-armed New Beetle I came to know and grudgingly accept?! The skinny arms neutralized my urge to sneer at his unTedness! Now what will neutralize it? I ask you!

Peej looks like she's gone evil and intends to grab the unsuspecting to smother in her boob-window. I'm torn on whether this is good or bad. No doubt the smothered will have a similar dilemma

The Royal Flush Gang looks mind-controlled. (And seriously, what's up with all the skin showing on the women but there being so very little hunky man meat on display?)

Is the redneck triangle guy "Illuminatus" or something? If I'm right, do I win a geek prize? (Do they have names?)
