DC Comics August 2024 Solicitations

DC Connect #49

[Frontier]

Thoughts:

- So Dreamer's mini is going to end with her stuck as a precog machine in Waller's war efforts and a surprise heroic traitor?

- Barry back in the spotlight and the fastest Speedster left. That might rankle some toes.

- I like the classic SS (complete with Bronze Tiger and Enchantress!) on that Waller cover. That's all I really have to say about it.

- Looks like things are improving between Bruce and Selina in Zdarsky's run, at least in this tie-in.

- Jamal Campbell Zatanna looks amazing. I don't even care that she doesn't have her magic.

- The Super Sons finally appear in the present-day Wonder Woman storyline...well, at least Damian does.

- Jeremy Adams looks like he's really starting to push Star Sapphire as a hero in his GL run. But "Shadow Lanterns?" Is that building out of the current UP conspiracy? GL stealth squad?

- I still haven't read the original Zero Hour.

- That's a surprisingly cute Jenny Sparks cover. I guess it's not a surprise that they're having one of their top writers pushing more Authority stuff, but they're also dragging poor Captain Atom into it.

- More DC vs Vampires...for the people who enjoy that.

- Dark Knights of Steel Killer Frost is all I care about.

- I'm here for Gotham by Gaslight Catwoman. Hope they also don't do a bad Wonder Woman, but I won't hold my breath.

- Guess we'll find out who is taking over 'Tec soon.

- Williamson resolving the grudge against Bane in his own way. I'm curious how Bane will fare here because Williamson also wrote Bane's "One Bad Day" story.

- Bruce in the Nigtwhing suit? Uh...not sure how to feel about that.

- Gotham City Sirens are back! As a placeholder for each ladies' respective ongoing! And in a crazy and ridiculous plot that could only be brought to you by Leah Williams! But it might genuinely be fun and I wouldn't mind a genuine ongoing coming out of it. They're certainly selling their weight in variants.

- The Birds of Prey meet their chibi selves?

- Poor Power Girl can't find a good guy to save her life.

- Wanna bet Zod and Sinestro end up teaming-up by the end of this fight? I mean, their sons are a duo now.

- That Flash cover...oof. Also, I hope Jesse grows her hair back, I don't think she can pull off short hair. Though the art doesn't help. Looks like Wally and Linda's relationship will be the key to everything (again).

- I hope the end of War Journal isn't the end of John Steward headlining his own comic. Also, Metropolis is now "his" city? Okay.

- Waller needs Ivo to continue building her more Amazo's? Also, where's Mia?

- I'm looking forward to a post-Johns JSA at this point. Also, Retroboot Legion?

- Mary already back leading the story with Billy out of commission in a Josie Campbell comic. Should I be surprised?

- Clark Kent arrested by Team Seven!

- The idea of Zatanna dealing with Bunny Girls feels oddly appropriate.

- I am so here for more Primer.

Probably just Batman and Robin 12 for me. Although the Sirens mini looks like fun.

So looking forward to this Absolute Power story to be done. The Waller plague has been bringing down the DCU for a long while now. She used to be one of my favorite characters but she’s pretty much been ruined.

Zero Hour 30th Anniversary
Jenny Sparks
Gotham By Gasight: Kryptonian Age
Batman: Offworld
Action Comics (Yay Gail!!!)
Batman/Superman
Green Lantern: War Journal (sadly the last issue)
JSA (if it does indeed come out on that date)
Zatanna
Plastic Man first appearance (POLICE COMICS #1 FACSIMILE EDITION)


Haha wow almost all out of continuity books. I seriously have not been less interested in the main line since I started collected DC comics.

With how bad their overall sales apparently are it seems I’m not the only one.

[Gaius]

Wonder Woman

Maybe:
Jenny Sparks
Zatanna

Wonder how Waid will try to make Diana get treated as an inferior by Supes and Bats this time around.

[berserkerclaw]

The Zero Hour special
Green Lantern
Green Lantern War Journal final issue
Batman and Robin
Batman
Titans
Nightwing

[HsssH]

Action
GL War Journal
Zod

DC Comics August 2024 Solicitations

DC Connect #49

A few thoughts:

• Absolute Power just ain't clicking with me - the thing that interests me the most is some of the people they have writing the tie-ins: Pichetshote, Paknadel and Ridley.
• Looking forward to the Superman/Zatanna team up - that's not a pairing we get often.
• Shadow Lanterns? Really?
• The covers for Batman and Robin #12 really made me laugh, each one appears to be referencing the contents of the issue but have such a different style/feel.
• Don't like how they're doing this Gotham City Sirens book, pausing the corresponding ongoings just feels like a recipe for disaster as readers use this as an excuse to jump off. Poison Ivy better survive this!
• Covers I like:

I have a question about DC solicitations . I picked up a free copy of DC Connect last week and yesterday just looking at when the books come out .
It seems that DC books are going back to coming out on Wednesdays once again instead of Tuesday since it's been since they left Diamond .
Can anyone confirm this ? Has there been an announcement or not ?
I haven't read anything online . Thanks !

Yes, was announced a few months ago.

Yes, was announced a few months ago.

Hypo , thank you for the reply .
I don't know how I missed the announcement all the way back in Feb .
I only caught it on the most recent DC Connect .
I think it makes sense for the industry to have the same day release day .
Although many times when I only wanted DC books , I stop at my LCS on Tuesdays .
Thanks again :-)

Outside of what I'm already purchasing, (Green Lantern, Green Lantern War Journal, Green Arrow, Constantine & Detective Comics) (I'm confused with the JSA releases)

Only Zatanna appeals to me, she's one of my favourite heroes but I have to be honest....

Mariko Tamaki as the writer really has me wavering on buying it.

[Digifiend]

JSA #12 shouldn't have been solicited. #10's been delayed to July, so no way will even issue #11 be out in August, much less #12. They should just cancel the solicits for #10-12 and replace them with an annual to wrap it up - and launch a new #1 without even waiting for that to be ready.
