I found this
https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comic...100-page-giant
How accurate it is I dont know, but a new Tim seeley story, Snyders swamp thing run, Jeff lemires Animal man, and Bill Willinghams Shadowpact is what they are saying for that giant. That looks a very good combo to me.
My must reads right now are:
Doomsday Clock
Shazam
Young Justice
Superman
Action
Batman
My most desired upcoming books are:
Legion
JSA (?)
...so yeah, I'll be picking up YJ, Superman, Action, Batman and obligatorily: TT, Flash, Supergirl, WW, GL.
That many more $$$ to spend on Marvel books. :0(
Currently Reading:
DC: The Flash, Challenge of the Super Sons, Nightwing
Image: Lazarus: Risen, The Old Guard, Black Magick
Boom: Mighty Morphin', Power Rangers
Sooo...in the background compilation for the Birds of Prey movie there isn't ONE BoP story...
I was encouraged with their solicited appearance in upcoming JL issues...but they may be dragging their feet for the conclusion of Doomsday Clock before they launch into a JSA ongoing.
The irony is THAT series began in late 2017 and those 12 issues don't have a solicited final issue as of November '19. (Ugh).
Yes unfortunately that's swamp things curse - to be doomed to live in shadow of one of DCs greatest runs.
But if they can tell new stories while snyders run does the necessary grind of an origin story whilst breaking it up with some good runs from other characters that's smart move for me. I'd pay $4 for a Tim seeley swamp thing book but I'd likely fall off quick if I had to spend $20 going through yet another origin story before book can get going.

Not too much, which isn't a surprise. Honestly, if none of the new series work out then I'm just not reading DC for the first time in years. Some okay trades though.
Definitely:
FAR SECTOR #1 - This sounded more interesting when it was announced and I believe the character was a single mum? Is that not a thing anymore or just not as big a focus? Or are they just not mentioning it? Either way, I'll give it a go.
JOHN CONSTANTINE: HELLBLAZER #1 - Gets a few issues.
LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #1 - Still think the new L looks like what someone from the early 2000s thought the future would look like. I'll give it a go though despite not liking Jon being aged up for this... also, are he and SAturn Girl gonna be a thing? I mean... he had a "will they/won't they" thing with Kathy Brandon, so... Idno, maybe she IS Saturn Girl or something. Doubt it though since that'd require Bendis to care about Tomasi's Superman stuff.
BLACK ORCHID TP NEW EDITION - I actually just found out about this. I thought she was just some obscure character or even a new one for Justice League Dark before, like, 3 weeks ago.
HAWKMAN VOL. 2: DEATHBRINGER TP
Maybe:
THE DOLLHOUSE FAMILY #1
GREEN LANTERN: BLACKSTARS #1 - I don't know... I haven't been feeling Morrison's GL run for a while now.
BIRDS OF PREY #2
FLASH FORWARD #3 - So Wally is gonna be a type of Multiversal protector guy? So he's like a Multiverse version of Booster Gold? I guess it's better than a random murderer.
THE LAST GOD #2
AQUAMAN VOL. 2: AMNESTY HC - only just started reading KSD's run and the first issue, while I don't enjoy the story of amnesiac Aquaman and separating him from Mera AGAIN, her writing style appeals to me and it has a nice mythic quality to it. We'll see.
BATMAN: DETECTIVE COMICS VOL. 2: ARKHAM KNIGHT HC - I like this arc, as loud and unsubtle and kinda goofy as it was.
FEMALE FURIES TP
THE GREEN LANTERN VOL. 2: THE DAY THE STARS FELL HC
PROMETHEA DELUXE EDITION BOOK TWO HC - Haven't gotten and read the first one yet.
SUPERGIRL VOL. 2: SINS OF THE CIRCLE TP - Oh hey, I didn't know they followed up King's Omega Men... unless it's not that version, then I don't care. I figured Supergirl just did Rogol Zaar (or however you spell his on-the-spot D&D name) stuff.

Random thoughts:
That Question series sounds interesting but... I'm gonna trade-wait it.
12-year-old Green Lantern is a no from me. I was keen for an Asian one too, but.. no.
Man, making Barry's suit armour should've really been something DC editorial enforced harder. Now he's gonna die from hypothermia!
So... Tim Drake went from Red Robin to, like, the Brown Bandit. That outfit... it sure exists.
That Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey cover is dope.
That Superman: For Tomorrow cover... just draw his feet, Lee! That looks like Lee definitely rushed it, or at least the inks do.
Good to see Superman: Secret Origin getting another OHC.
THERE WAS A WATCHMEN ROLEPLAYING GAME?!?!?!
Aside from that weird V on his torso, that Olivier Coipel Batman statue looks pretty cool. Also, Batman be packing.
DCAU Jason Todd looks the perfect amount of hilarious and hilariously grumpy.

She's been around for a while, though she would probably fall into the "obscure" category if you haven't been following DC comics for many years.Black Orchid Appreciation
