"Earth 2: World's End," "Batman: Endgame," & More Highlight DC Comics' October 2014 Solicits

[catbatfan]

Catwoman could be another.

They won't cancel Catwoman during her 75th anniversary year. My ultimate hope is a new number one, new creative team (this October-debuting one seems to be only around for one arc), and new costume.

Well as good as Swamp Thing is, the sales suggests it won't make it past then.
Constantine and Batwoman as well. Lack of tie-ins to these titles suggest they have been abandoned (usually tie-ins/crossovers are used to buoy lagging titles - such is the case for the Green Lantern titles this month).
Catwoman could be another.

I would say Worlds' Finest, but they are making attempts to keep it afloat.
Red Hood and the Outlaws is another candidate.

Supergirl and Green Arrow would then be the next dominoes to fall if sales trends maintain as they are.

I believe catbatfan was referring specifically to the new series just announced, that they may actually just be around 6 issues.

However, I do believe that I read in an interview with Paul Levitz that his arc featuring the Earth 2 Superman and Batman was only currently planned for about 6 issues, so it's true that it might be on the way out. With Power Girl and Huntress back on Earth 2, that makes sense.

That's true, but the new Catwoman creative team is only signed on for one arc. The same could be true for Batgirl, so the October-debuting new series plus creative team changes may only be a temporary six month thing.

Earth 2: Worlds' End #1-4
Earth 2 #27
Swamp Thing Annual #3
Swamp Thing #35

Batman 35 - hopefully this isn't another Joker arc.
Batman and Robin 35
Batman Eternal 26-30
Grayson 3

Will flip thru the new titles at the LCS and see if any grab my attention. Also will flip thru the new Green Arrow but more than likely dropping after issue 34?

I am very excited about some of the Vertigo comics coming out

Yes, I agree. What I was saying was that could also apply to series that aren't getting major new creative teams, but are making some minor changes in October, like Worlds' Finest.

So, DC October 2014...

On my regular pulls there's a double shipping book, an annual plus a must-read one shot both at $4.99; if that wasn't enough theres also 5 issues coming out for the weekly Im reading. And to top it off Sandman Overture decides to somehow push back on the long delays and shows up during a heavy month, but honestly who knows if the issue will actually as solicited.

Simply put, I gotta let go of some stuff; so my on the fence and trial books are officially gone and no new series will be sampled (not that any of the October debuts interested me all that much). And I'll still be a bit overbudget


THE NEW 52: FUTURES END #22 thru 26
JUSTICE LEAGUE #34
JUSTICE LEAGUE #35
WONDER WOMAN #35
BATMAN #35
NEW GODS: GODHEAD #1
GREEN LANTERN #35
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #35
RED LANTERNS #35
SINESTRO #6
SWAMP THING #35
SWAMP THING ANNUAL #3
THE SANDMAN: OVERTURE #4

[Shadowras]

New Suicide Squad
Batman Beyond(like Inque)
Maybe Deathstroke

[toddx77]

Justice League double shipping? Yes please lol. I know it is just catching up to 35 like the rest of the books, but it will be nice to get too issues of Justice League that month and I hope the series doesn't get behind again. As for the Green Lantern event I still cant' decide if I want to buy all the other issues or just not read Green Lantern for October. We already had a Green Lantern cross over for June/July so why do we need a bigger one in October. At least the recent event didn't require you to buy both Green Lantern and Corps.

Really excited to see Clay Mann on these solicitations. Hopefully they'll have him do interior work in the following month or two.

That Clay Mann cover caught me by surprise. It would be cool if he started working on some DC books.

[ImprobableQuestion]

How great it is to see an Amanda Conner drawing of Power Girl again!

Anywho, it's a shame there's no Wonder Woman annual to round off the series, but at least Azz and Chiang can do an origin.

I was planning on dropping Batman for an arc to change pase, but Endgame is apparently featuring an original villain, which might be cool. And I kind of want that Superman just for the cover.

[Robotman]

Lots of great stuff.

Best cover of the year!




The lightning bolt going through the Masked Superman is a huge clue to solving his identity.

[Stormcrow]

I hope the Secret Origins Wonder Woman story is collected in the final WW trade for the Azzarello/Chiang run. It would suck if it's only included in Secret Origins, I really have no interest in any of the other tales...
