My bad, can a mod change the title of the thread to say "Superman June 2020 solicitations"?

[Kuwagaton]

Again, pretty jazzed about the premise of versus Fate. I really think that's the one DC hero who has his number, so to me it's the best hero vs hero.

LOIS LANE AND THE FRIENDSHIP CHALLENGE TP
written by GRACE ELLIS
art and cover by BRITTNEY WILLIAMS
From New York Times bestselling author Grace Ellis (Lumberjanes) and artist Brittney Williams (Goldie Vance) comes a new story about 13-year-old Lois Lane as she navigates the confusing worlds of social media and friendship.
It’s the first day of summer break in the sleepy town of Liberty View, and young Lois Lane bursts onto the scene with what she knows is a sure-to-go-viral video channel. Okay, maybe her platform only receives two views a week (thanks, Mom), and maybe her best friend, Kristen, isn’t quite as enthusiastic about social media, but when Lois sets her mind on something, there’s no turning back.
At the end of the week, the big neighborhood barbecue and bike race will be the perfect backdrop to Lois and Kristen’s #friendshipchallenge video. But when the girls find out the annual fireworks are missing, Lois doubles down on her efforts for fame, testing her friendship in ways she couldn’t imagine.
With Kristen leaving for sleepaway camp after the barbecue and a new girl on the block taking all of Kristen’s attention, will Lois be able to find the missing fireworks, celebrate the summer, and post the best #friendshipchallenge the internet has ever seen? Or will she have to face her challenges IRL?

Pretty cool. Unfortunately, the Byrne collection is now solicited at like half the size.

Isn't that better though? Those larger omnibuses are so unwieldy and hard to read.

[Kuwagaton]

Since I'm purchasing reprints of stuff I already own I'd rather get it over with sooner. Although the City of Tomorrow hardcovers are really attractive.

[Ilan Preskovsky]

Another month, Romita still on Action Comics. Another month, I'm not buying Action Comics.

[Flash Gordon]

Sad to see JIMMY OLSEN coming to a close, that's been the best Super title in a long time.

Might check out Doctor Fate's pop up.

[LordUltimus]

Outside of JRJR's art, it looks like everyones attention is going to flip back to Action Comics over Superman again.

[superduperman]

I really wish Lee would learn to draw teenagers as something other than adults but smaller. That Superboy is just a less bulky Superman.

[Vordan]

Here’s to Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen, two of the best books I’ve ever read from DC. Going to be really sad when those last issues hit.

[DragonPiece]

Updated schedule: https://www.newsarama.com/50099-dc-s...ries-more.html

Lois Lane is shipping twice in June so it'll finish in the same month as originally planned.
