Embargo Endrun
Kevin
Melrose turned me on to a neat trick: Can't wait for the
midnight embargo on DC's upcoming solicitations to pass? Well,
just head
over to DC's website and peek at the February 2004 solicitations for
DC's
DCU,
Vertigo,
and
Wildstorm
books. Here's what catches my eye:
- I have a strange fascination with Adam Strange, but I don't think
I've read many of his original solo adventures, so I'll probably get
his first Archive
Edition.
- I think I'll check out the Losers
trade, especially considering that it reprints six issues
for only ten bucks (assuming that's not a misprint). Per issue,
that works out to almost half of what a regular
issue costs.
- Is DC getting quicker with collections? Not only is there
the Losers trade, but also collections of such recent series
as Birds
of Prey and Arkham
Asylum: Living Hell; recent storylines from Flash,
Superman,
and Hawkman;
and classic material such as Perez's Wonder
Woman.
- Since when is Zero
Hour a "classic saga"?
- The "Eye
of the Storm" crossover is upon us. Here's hoping it blows
over quickly.
- I've been enjoying Will Pfeifer's work on H-E-R-O,
so I'll probably try out his Aquaman,
at least for a couple issues.
- Hey, it turns out that
Hush guy didn't die after all! What a surprise!!
If you want to see some of the purty covers DC puts out month after
month, go

For boring, bland covers, go
