    Looks like the shine is going to wear off just as quickly as I anticipated. The Superdad line sounds repetitive and boring already, pretty much what I'd expect when Jurgens essentially has the keys to the kingdom. Superman can't get back soon enough.

    On the other hand, Wonder Woman still sounds intriguing, and hopefully Supergirl and Superwoman will deliver.

    I went through all of that and see no sign of Cyborg.

    Cyborg is M.I.A. or most likely K.I.A. Good job DC... never expected much out of you.

    so where's Justice league of America this month? You know, the main title? Has brian hitch hijacked it or something? Oh well, still a lot of good stuff this month, like;
    1) I'm glad the Gotham story is wrapping up quickly in Batman- one good thing from all the double shipping.
    2) All star Batman; Much as I love to see Bat's rogues gallery come out of the woodwork, I'm not a fan of the buddy-by being handcuffed together" types of story.
    3) Aquaman; Speaking of rogues, I hope we see more of Arthur's in this Nemo group.
    4) Titans #2 sounds good- do I see Bumblebee? Yippee! But why is teen titans still around?
    5) Wonder Woman #5; guess I should have paid more attention to this story, if Cheetah's on deck.
    6) looking forward to Supergirl and Blue Beetle rebirth.
    August is sounding a bit more expensive for me; hopefully, I'll be dropping some marvels tomorrow.

    Not much DC announced for Rebirth ever really caught my eye. I've been reading Titans Hunt, but I've never really been a Titans fan so I doubt I'll continue on with the ongoing. I just wanted to know how Abnett would retcon the retcon that removed them from DC history. Most of the other creators on the remaining books I've never really cared for. All-Star Batman may have potential. Fortunately, the only two books DC announced that did excite me will be arriving this month. I am more than ready for Hellblazer and Blue Beetle. And I'm happy Lucifer is back. I was worried it was surreptitiously cancelled when I didn't see it in last month's solicits.

    I looked it up and it said August for Cyborg Rebirth #1 and pretty much everything that is on that list with Cyborg has been solicited.

    I hope you're right though.

    So, are Batman Beyond and Dr. Fate just... continuing? I've got no problem with that, as I like both titles, but its a bit odd they're just hanging on.

    Man, the first arc of 'Tec is looking like it'll go at least 8 issues. That's longer than I thought. This storyline sounds so intense that even with double shipping the wait might feel too long between installments.

    Batgirl Fight Club sounds interesting. I'm still not sure what the tone of this book is going to be, and having that kind of story so soon in the series will help sort that out.

    All-Star Batman just got me interested. Sounds all kind of fun.

    Injustice is still kind of spinning its wheels, though it's nice to be able to narrow down a few more deaths.

    SUPERDAD, Family, family, family.. good start.. boring.. just it makes me see there is 0 chance to reconcile with that character.

    I think that during this rebirth super dad came into all comics to force you see this character. harley always receiving characters from the JL .. and when it's up to Superman ... they put superdad ..just it makes me see there is 0 chance to reconcile me with that character.

    BUT, I'll see superwoman ..I know that superdad appears at some point(look the cover). but he will not spoil my alternative to superman.. NO, THIS TIME.
