Quick observations on the first read through:
1) The Waller Vs Wildstorm delay explained? Merino listed as the artist on issue 1, not Battle like previously.
2) Dark Knights of Steel: "The endgame for season one begins". A sequel already greenlighted?
3) There is no way JSA #5 comes out in March as solicited. #2 went from late Dec to mid Jan. #3 has slipped from late Jan to late Feb, sharing a release date with #4. You know that will slip to March. Not sure why they wouldn't wait and just solicit #5 for April.

The Superman books both sound great. I’m loving the design for Marilyn Moonlight.
Hmm, seems like another snooze for solicits. Not the strongest opening for this New Dawn.
Not really feeling this Shazam/WW crossover. Wilson's run was lot of hot air only for her to not even finish her own story to go write Harley's girlfriend, coming back to write a book pushing Yara and Billy with "Wonder Woman" in the title doesn't do much to enthuse me.
Genuinely surprised to see Dark Knights of Steel. If the story was good, I would've been willing to put up with the delays since Putri's art would be worth it. Alas the quality dropped long ago and never recovered.
Honestly a pretty decent month for me series wise.
Got Adventures of Superman and Doom Patrol starting up, and the Shazam Wonder Woman crossover is starting as well. Plus a pretty strong core of books with Nightwing, Flash, and my other regular pick ups.
In total I’ll be reading:
Nightwing
Flash
Adventures of Superman
Doom Patrol
Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods
Black Adam
Blue Beetle Graduation Day
JSA
Stargirl: the lost children

Why is it suddenly so difficult for DC to color Starfire's eyes green? This has been an on-and-off issue for over a year.
Does the Batman #357 facsimile edition REALLY have a blank sketch variant and a foil variant cover? Personally I hope that's just a mistake. There's only one price listed, $3.99. Also, the issue picked to reprint seems weak.
