April 2020 solicitations

[Digifiend]

Was hoping for more new-timeline fallout from WW#750 and Flash#750...not much hint of that either.

You don't suppose we have some fake solicits here? Walking Dead solicited non-existent issues to hide that it was ending until release day, so we know it can be done - maybe DC gave out false descriptions to hide any 5G related stuff?

I’m not a fan of Aquaman’s new look but “MyGAWD” that cover screams badass

I’m pretty sure Aquaman has Poseidon’s trident after “Drowned Earth” I better sea some Bryan Hitch level type of stuff with it KSD!!

Nice to see ed brubaker doing something for DC. They really got everyone back to celebrate catwoman.

The last god source book looks beyond geeky but kind of a good idea too.

[G-Man27]

That sounds awful. Snyder brought JSA into JL and did literally nothing with them but have them pose for pinups. Only Bendis would be a worse choice.

I imagine he wants to wait to use his ideas for the Justice Society in their actual book. Besides, if he had done big things with them in Justice League people would complain about the League being guest-stars in their own book

I'm all over the "DC Goes to War" HC. DC has a rich history in that genre that generally doesn't get much love.

That's a generous assessment.

First he had the JL deputize every other hero on main earth. Then, as a cliffhanger, he brought in the JSA and Kamandi. Then, as a cliffhanger, he brought in the Batman Beyond characters. Then, as a cliffhanger, he brought in every other character from Hypertime from Kingdom Come to Rorschach.

And not one of them was anything more than window dressing.

What was the point of any of that?

Snyder is all hat and no cattle.

[SiegePerilous02]

As per usual lately, I'm only getting the Green Lantern and Shazam. Maybe WW too since some old villains are coming back. Trade waiting Lucifer and the Dreaming, and it sucks that Spurrier is leaving the latter.

That sounds awful. Snyder brought JSA into JL and did literally nothing with them but have them pose for pinups. Only Bendis would be a worse choice.

It gets worse: this may tie in to him making a new origin for Wonder Woman. Rucka's Year One is likely out.
Biggest downgrade ever.

[Flash Gordon]

Rafael Grampa's FLASH cover is absolute fire.

AMETHYST #3
AQUAMAN #59
BATGIRL #46
GREEN LANTERN SEASON TWO #3
SUPERMAN'S PAL JIMMY OLSEN #10
WONDER WOMAN: DEAD EARTH #3

Everything I'm reading I'm excited for. Glad there's no 5G New Coke stuff yet.

THE FLASH ANNUAL #3
written by JOSHUA WILLIAMSON
art by BRANDON PETERSON
cover by DAVID MARQUEZ
From the pages of Suicide Squad, Task Force X and Captain Boomerang are on the loose, and the Flash is in hot pursuit! But is he really the hunter—or the hunted? Barry Allen may be the Scarlet Speedster, but at the end of this crossover issue, will he still be the Fastest Man Alive?

--

If the "Owen Mercer becomes the new Flash" rumour turns out to be true, then this Annual probably sets it up. They wouldn't waste an Annual, with the regular writer on board, on a run of the mill crossover with Suicide Squad. The Suicide Squad are possibly just a vehicle to get the elder Captain Boomerang into the story.

[Restingvoice]

I'm getting the 80th-anniversary issues and Batman and Tim's early adventures

Yeah that's it

I'm guessing Jason Todd for Leviathan
So Joker bothering Ric and inadvertently set his memory back is preparation for Joker War
Aquaman is fighting Orm for the throne again, I feel like I've seen this before, like how many times they're going to do this?
Wait, Harley's still in Suicide Squad? I thought she's let go?
Wait, I forget... Snyder's off the League. Where is he now?
Wait, how is Paula von Gunther alive? We're already in the new WWII timeline, right?
Wonder Woman Max Lord... I don't believe this.

[Kai "the spy"]

No 100-Page Giants in April?!

[HandofPrometheus]

When you have favorite characters who get to do nothing for months, these solicitations start looking the same and feel boring.

-Hopefully, Jackson is still around in Aquaman because I am completely done with Atlantis politics. If he gets a chance to travel to Atlantis, viewing it with a fresh perspective can be interesting.

-Wonder Woman may start holding my interest with 5G stuff but Orlando is so meh to me.

-Far Sector is great but I'll just trade wait it.

Event Leviathan: Checkmate
The Last God Sourcebook (loving this series)
Action Comics
Batman/Superman
Justice League
Justice League Odyssey
Lois Lane
Shazam
Superman
Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen (maybe the funnest book on the stands right now)
John Constantine, Hellblazer

The Adventures of Superman by George Perez
DC Goes to War

[j9ac9k]

Definitely getting:
-- The Green Lantern
-- The Legion of Superheroes
-- The Question

I'm tempted to get "Checkmate," but "Event Leviathan" was such a waste of time I might just wait for the trade or when it's on sale.

[shadow6743]

Teen Titans and The Catwoman 80 year book and that's all for me. If Teen Titans keeps it quality after Glass leaves I will keep buying it.
