DCU Releases For The Week Of 5/24/09 - 5/30/09 (Spoil if you like)
:cross-eye
Green Lantern #41 - Agent Orange - PT 3 - The truth behind the eternally corrupt
Vega System is finally revealed and the Green Lantern Corps will pay dearly for
uncovering the secret. Meanwhile, the greed of Agent Orange knows no bounds as his demand for the universe and royalty fees from every company every where who have used the word "orange" explodes. Plus, Hal continues to struggle with folding a map and the abilities of his new power ring.
Batman - Barcelona: Dragons Knight - One Shot - When a string of bizarre murders hits Spain's beautiful coastal city of Barcelona, The Dark Knight makes solving this crime his top priority. Watch as Batman tries to figure out that Killer Croc is the killer. Marc Waid wrote this.
Batman: The Brave And The Bold #5 - Based on the Cartoon - Children everywhere are missing thanks to the Queen of Fables. It's up to Batman and Captain Marvel to give this mystery a happy ending.
Final Crisis Aftermath - Ink - PT 1 (of 6) - the Tattooed Man is considered a hero for the first time in his life. At first, the rewards from his new lifestyle are a welcome change from the rest of what his existence has been, but soon the pressure to stay above temptation and evil start to wear him down. Matters are quickly complicated when he wakes up in the middle of the night to find his body covered in unfamiliar tattoos that seem to have a life of their own. The Tattooed Man finds himself in the middle of a life and death struggle with his own powers and the master plan they seem to have for him, whether he likes it or not.
Gotham Gazette - Batman Alive - One Shot - A city looking to rise up. A new Dark
Knight is casting his shadow until dawn's early light. A cop looking to solve a murder whose solution may be worse than the crime. A reporter who can reclaim her social standing only by rejecting everything she believes in. A doctor who has found new life by compromising her old one. One hero who has determined a course of action no matter whose plans it "spoils". Harvey Bullock. Vicki Vale. Dr. Leslie Thompkins. Stephanie Brown. These four ordinary people living extraordinary lives look to regain their balance in a city that turns lives upside down. Morning comes to Gotham City and the time for mourning has passed. How do the people of Gotham City deal with the sudden arrival of hope?
Justice League Of America #33 - It's Dharma vs. Greg for control of the greatest source of power in the DC Universe, and no, it's not Power Girl's bra. No matter the victor, the Justice League loses. Wait. I meant "Dharma vs. Starbreaker". Sorry, Greg has nothing to do with this.
Last Days Of Animal Man - PT1 (of 6) - Everyman hero Buddy Baker has fought
hard for our world, and for his family. But by the year 2024, the Earth has seen better days: The heroes are growing tired, the villains have grown nastier and Buddy's own hometown of San Diego has struggled for years to recover from a cataclysmic typhoon. His children have grown and his marriage has gotten colder (thanks to his one-night stand with Starfire) and now, as San Diego faces the most vicious Super-Villain it's seen in years, his powers are starting to fail him. Without his powers, without his family, who is Buddy Baker? Can he still be a husband? Can he still be a father? Can he still be Animal Man? And more importantly, can he even survive the bloodthirsty plan his arch-rival's progeny has in store for him?
Madame Xanadu #11 - a 5-issue story with the seductive sorceress. This is a mystery that jumps between the Spanish Inquisition and 1940s New York City. Long-buried secrets come back to life as Madame Xanadu investigates a murder 500 years in the making.
Superman #688 - Mon-El's role as Superman's stand-in for Metropolis is threatened by a sudden and mysterious power loss. How can he be the hero he needs to be without any special abilities? Meanwhile, the Guardian and his Science Police go to the rescue of a missing member of the Legion of Super-Heroes. And who is the spy within the Science Police ranks?
Teen Titans #71 - The team picks up the pieces following their crossover with Titans and Vigilante as Ravager returns. But is she friend or foe? And will she Ravage Robin's innocent young body? Will he let her?
Trinity #52 - The final showdown. Answers, revelations and more in this, the finale. Guest-starring just about everyone in the DC U.
Unknown Soldier #8 - A pan-African, black power militant group has made the Unknown Soldier an offer: To be part of a brutally violent and unethical deception in an effort to bring more attention to the troubles of Africa. It's a plan where innocents die. A plan he could never imagine himself being a part of. A plan that could just possibly work.
Wonder Woman #32 - Rise of the Olympian - Finale - It's Wonder Woman vs. Genocide in a final, brutal showdown that leaves Diana with one of the toughest decisions she's ever had to face - and that's just the start.
Wildcats #11 - The Wildcats' visit to the Hawaiian islands takes a turn for the worse when they learn a dark secret that Majestic wanted kept hidden, and he'll kill to protect it. Turns out he worked his way thru college as a chipendales dancer. To make matters worse, when the 'Cats are away, the Daemonites decide to play as Defile and his army launch an all-out assault on the HALO building, which is full of helpless survivors. Also, it's the start of a backup story explaining why Deathblow isn't dead.
Hmm. Animal Man, Trinity, Wonder Woman, and possibly that Batman: Barcelona.
I'd get Green Lantern, but I'm starting to get bored with the Orange story. I might skip an issue or two until the Blackest Night story actually begins.
...now, if we can just get Professor Pyg confirmed.
JSA #27 (I think this is shipping this week) and GL #41
This just in;
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #27 - A threat from the past seeks vengeance on the three remaining founding JSA members and separates them from the younger members in this fill-in arc (written and drawn by Jerry Ordway).
Tattooed Man was just about the ONLY thing I liked about Final Crisis.
Final Crisis... like France. They say you'll like it, but you get there and you don't like it. And then people ask, "Well, surely the scenery was something" and you respond, "I didn't go out, I couldn't stand the smell of the place".
Or, as Mark Twain put it, ""France has neither winter, nor summer, nor morals. France is miserable because it is filled with Frenchmen, and Frenchmen are miserable because they live in France."
Justice League Of America #33 - It's Dharma vs. Greg for control of the greatest source of power in the DC Universe, and no, it's not Power Girl's bra.
It really should be.
