DC June 2020 Solicitations

June 2020 Solicits for DC Comics.

[protege]

My DC pull list is shrinking.

[OpaqueGiraffe17]

Well there’s that 3 Jokers solicits. With all the different looks he’s gone through over the years, couldn’t they have picked versions of him that looked less interchangeable? I know that’s killing Joke, Golden Age and Death of Robin, but I can’t help but feel disappointed
Anyway speaking of Batman’s corner, looks like Damian is still Robin..

[vasir12]

Looks like there's no Generations One shot... Signs are pointing somewhere

[Digifiend]

Yeah, I guess that's been pulled for a rewrite.

Shazam isn't by Johns, is Loveness just doing a filler? And April's Teen Titans Annual cover lied to us. Unless, if it was setting up 5G, plans have already been changed?

Seriously....this is a good point. But isn't May free comic book day, when the free Generation Zero releases? So the month of May probably doesn't have anything to release but Zero. I think Gen 1 is a June release.

No sign of JSA is still a huge bummer. Johns not on Shazam is interesting too...

Also Scott Snyder tweeted yesterday "regarding how the changes at DC effected Death Metal...it made it BIGGER" sounds like he may indeed have had some voice in the change at the top.

Aquaman
The Flash
Manhunter

[HandofPrometheus]

Well, at least Jackson is still around in Aquaman. It seems he may have an epic fight too.

Manhunter still dealing with Leviathan but Kate on a mission is gonna be crazy.

Batman: The adventures continue #2
the batman’s grave #8
hawkman #25
daphne byrne #6
batman #321 facsimile edition
the flash #135 facsimile edition

[Restingvoice]

Batgirl and Teen Titans are the most interesting but if I'm picking something for real it's Batman The Adventures Continue

Remind me why Man-Bat gets a series again? Seems random

My DC pull list is shrinking.

I wish I had that problem. At least they cancelled Supergirl for me. Once Joker War is over I might be saying the same thing though.

[charliehustle415]

My DC pull list is shrinking.

Only three titles for me now and all three are mini series: 3 Jokers, Death Metal and Green Lantern Season 2; such a shame

[Frontier]

Thoughts:

- The first DCEased established that the virus was sentient so maybe it's formed it's own society by the time the heroes return to Earth. Oh well, time for more DC killings.

- I'm not quite sure what the purpose of Three Jokers is at this point other then to let Johns get to say his piece or have his impact on the Batman mythos. But man, these Rebirth mysteries sure got drawn out...

- Snyder tries so hard with these Metal stories. On one level it's like he's having the time of his life, on another it just seems so random.

- "the only person who can save Batman from the brink of true madness...is Harley Quinn?!" Can we please stop with Quinn? I know it's not going to happen, but if 5G makes Harley a villain again, I might actually support it.

- Sounds like Tynion is going to "bring the Batfamily back together" again for the umpteenth time juding by the solicits for #97. Who would be in Catwoman's army? Cats?

- Ah, Babs vs. James Jr. The horror plot that keeps on happening.

- Will Tomasi finally kill off Lincoln March while curing Two-Face?

- How many times are they going to brainwash Nightwing?

- So looks like Arthur is crashing Mera and Vulko's wedding. I guess if there was anything I was hoping for with 5G was that they would let Arthur and Mera get married and settled down so we could get past this nonsense.

- I am so hyped for Batman: The Adventure Continues. Sounds like they have an interesting take on Deathstroke.

- Haven't they been debating the Outsiders leadership this whole series? Jeff thinks it's Batman, Batman thinks it's Jeff...it's weird.

- Those Sean Murphy covers seem so drastically opposed to the Catwoman he's actually writing. Were these proposed covers for a White Knight Catwoman mini he never got to make?

- Flash's biggest villains teaming-up in a non-Rogues capacity is kind of interesting. Would I put Turtle and Trickster on the same level of Grodd and Cold? Well, maybe there is some precedent for it. Is Reverse-Flash leading them? And Williamson is finally addressing the Tornado Twins.

- I think this is the 2nd or 3rd time Morrison has created a villainous Krptonian-level couple.

- Sounds like Venditti's Hawkman is winding down for a climactic storyline. I guess it's great that they separated Shayera and Kendra so now Kendra isn't necessary relevant to Hawk stuff anymore...

- Simon Spurrier on Justice League? Are they just playing musical chairs with the book until 5G hits?

- Looks like Justice League Dark is winding down too, with them finally taking down the Upside Down Man. Tynion started this whole storyline, so it's weird he's not finishing it.

- Dat Manhunter butt.

- Ah, the Metal Men vs Chemo .

- "Deadshot walks away from the Suicide Squad in hopes of reuniting with his daughter, Zoe, and making things right at last." Hasn't this been Deadshot's character arc for, like, close to a decade? Seems like the only story they know how to tell with him. Not that I dislike it, but still.

- So looks like Damian is still Robin, he's just now free of the Titans and dead-set on revenge against KGBeast.

- Nice to see YJ focus back on the main three (sorry Cassie). Although that cover makes me think that Bart's look has changed so little while Tim doesn't look near as good anymore.
