Okay this month looks way better than the previous months.
Guess I'm gonna have to catch up on JL to really understand what the YOTV thing's all about.
So I guess this is the new thing DC on Friday and Marvel on Tusday
Is that Kate Spencer: Manhunter? Has she popped up since Rebirth?
Ohmygod, they’re killing jimmy olsen! Can we please make it permanent?
This year of the villain thing is making me buy a lot of books I wouldn’t normally buy. I also have to go back and look at the solicit for event leviathan in June. Still wondering if teen titans is heading for a reboot.

Lex Luthor seems pretty busy in july.

So based on all of the solicits, I guess the gimmick of Year Of The Villain is rather than having a bunch of one-shots to set-up the big Justice League story, they're gonna have little end credit teasers with Lex showing up and preparing his plan. And I can imagine that'll probably be the format the next couple months will be following to based on this:
July – Year of the Villain: The Offer
August – Year of the Villain: Dark Gifts
September – Year of the Villain: Evil Unleashed
October – Year of the Villain: Doom Rising
It is pretty interesting they managed to coordinate all of this within a whopping 20 issues, so I'm curious to see them all come together. It'll probably end up being half of them accepting his offer and half of them denying, especially with some of the people who are being asked.
Morrison's Green Lantern is getting weirder with every issue and I love it
