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.

well now we know Bumblebee's on the titans roster since she appears on the cover for issue two

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.

These are August solicits. New Rebirth titles are rolling out over several months. The list below was released in February, prior to the announcements at Wondercon so some of these have moved slightly or been given fixed months since. Cyborg, which I highlighted below, is likely on tap for September:

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.

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

Maybe he's the "secret Titan" and we're finally letting go of this Justice League thing.

Batman 4 & 5
Detective 938 & 939
Wonder Woman 4 & 5

Maybe...
Suicide Squad Rebirth & 1

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.

Might get these:

Batgirl #2
Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #1
Deathstroke #1
Harley Quinn #1
Suicide Squad: Rebirth #1
Suicide Squad #1
Barman #4 & 5
New Super-Man #2
Harley Quinn's Little Black Book #5
Gotham Academy Annual #1
Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death TP

Bolded ones are the comics I'll be looking out for, but as of right now nothing definitive yet. If I were to buy only one comic in the entire August 2016 solicitations, it would be Suicide Squad #1, with Gotham Academy Annual #1 coming at a close second.

I wonder what that Kord Industries element in the Blue Beetle: Rebirth solicits mean for Rebirth!Ted?

Mera is Arthur's "girlfriend?" Come on DC, she's pretty much the Queen at this point, just say she's his wife. Is it really that hard? Especially after you brought back a married Superman?

I wonder who's part of this undersea crime cabal other then Manta?

So Barry is exploring a new relationship? I wonder if it's with Iris ?

It looks like they're still building up to NuWally becoming Kid Flash. Probably explains part of the reason why we still haven't gotten the Rebirthed Teen Titans book out yet. And it sounds like Godspeed has finally become active.

My issues with Percy aside...the idea of seeing Green Arrow and Black Canary kicking butt and taking names together makes me really happy .

Hey, Bumblebee's in Titans .
