So what’s going on with the September event? Is it not a thing or has it been pushed to October? The whole schedule has felt rather disorganized since the beginning of IF but I’m hoping this will all make sense later on.

[Hypo]

Full solicits with full size covers are now up.

[Frontier]

Oh look, Batman's probably going to show up in a Superman book again .

Yang's run was short-lived.

A begrudging team-up between Lex and Superman to face off against '78 Brainiac should be fun.

I see Eclipso and Ultra-Humanite among the villains fighting the Authority, but who else is there...?

[Quinlan58]

No September event apparently.

Going by these solicits, Clark stopped the conflict between the Surface, Atlantis and those Kaijus but did so through controversial means, and when confronted by the JL he decides to quit to spare the League from the backlash of what he's planning to do (I don't think there'll be more conflict than that between Supes and the JL considering how cordial he's been with Batman and Aquaman so far). He then proceeds to re-form the Authority to deal with that Warworld Source thing. Oh, and the Tales of Metropolis back-up move to Action Comics. Hooray?

Speaking of the Authority, I'm getting the feeling "split the Man of Steel in half" may be literal. Superman Red and Superman Blue again?

We also have Jon getting schooled about the "real issues" by an underground news source in another move that makes him basically the more daring take on classic Clark status-quo. Except for getting schooled about the real issues, that one sounds more like Green Lantern/Green Arrow. Makes Jon interesting enough so long as that "daring" part is kept, makes him completely redundant if it goes away.

Kara's solicit continues to sound generic. Hopefully it also continues to be a good execution of it.

We continue to not hear anything about Kon in the Suicide Squad solicit but directly see him in the Titans United solicit. Are we sure that's out of continuity?

Yang goes for the silliest, most threatening end to the Batman/Superman series. Exactly as it should be. I wonder if they're planning to replace it with a Next Batman/Son of Kal-El series, or a New Trinity series, or something like that. Anyway, hope Yang keeps writing Superman in some capacity (in preferably a "but with a twist!" capacity, since I haven't been impressed with his "straightforward" Superman).

Checkmate continues to be an unofficial Superman series. I'll continue to hope for the best Bendis despite evidence to the contrary in JL.

Speaking of JL, it's new members being told about the legacy of past founders. So probably Diana and, if it's set at the same time as Action Comics, Clark. It's going to look very awkward from an outside perspective if one of those members is Jon. "Oh, Superman is out so they're recruiting his presumably more pliable teenage son." Obviously not how it'd be treated in the comics, but it'd be a funny perspective for it.

Superman '78 didn't give us more info from what we could have guessed from the August solicit.

Oh, and there's a "horror" story with Clark and Lois in the Halloween special. Hopefully it's good.
