Superman gets a new costume and Super Power!

SHINE SPAAAARRRKKKK!!!

DC announced that in Superman #38 of the current volume, the Man of Steel will unveil a new ability, the Super Flare!!! It’s interesting since Superman is a solar battery and it seems he can released all the charge at once. From the images that have been released online, it looks very anime inspired (lots are saying it looks like Dragon Ball Z). He also gets a new costume (to help him control this new power… maybe) but it’s not very different from his New 52 outfit.

Batman and Robin #37 Spoiler

The following post contains a panel (and spoiler) from the comic.

Most of the Green Lantern line cancelled!

All is not well. The march solicits are up and lots of titles are getting cancelled, including most of the Green Lantern titles (including GL: New Guardians) with only the main Green Lantern title and Sinestro remaining. It is unknown if the cancelled titles will relaunch, replaced with a weekly series of the characters will be featured in a new title.
Here is the list of titles that end in March:

• Aquaman and the Others
• Infinity Man and the Forever People
• Klarion
• Secret Origins
• Star-Spangled War Stories Featuring G.I. Zombie
• Trinity of Sin
• Worlds’ Finest
• Arkham Manor
• Batwoman
• Green Lantern Corps
• Green Lantern: New Guardians
• Red Lanterns
• Swamp Thing

Green Lantern: New Guardians looses it's writer

 According to Newsarama, Justin Jordan will no longer write the book after issue #40. There has been no word if the title will have a new writer (after the Convergence event) or it is cancelled. I enjoyed Jordan's stories. He managed to inject fun in the title, even if the stakes were high for the characters. For me, this is the best approach to write science-fiction. Hope it doesn't get cancelled since Kyle Rayner is my favorite GL and this one of the DC titles I purchase each month (Grayson being the other).

The Wally West mess

 When the New 52 was announced, it was advertised as a relaunch, not a reboot. A lot of readers (me included) thought that even if the Flashpoint event changed the past and the Wildstorm (former Image line turn into DC imprint) characters were going to be incorporated in the DC Universe, continuity was mostly the same. But when it was finally released, some characters continued their adventures from were they left off (the Green Lanterns and the Bat-Family), others changed more drastically (Superman and Teen Titans) and some very popular characters were nowhere to be found. One of them was Wally West, original Kid Flash and the Flash for more than 20 years.

Big Convergence New!!!

Over at CBR and Newsarama, DC revealed some heavy details about their next event. Spoilers ahead!!!

DC's new books ads are weird

If you bought a comic book published by DC, you might have seen these ads. They try to be funny but at the same time they seem very weird and making you think twice before purchasing the book. Let's take a look at the add for Grayson.

It sounds really aggressive. The use of the character name as a pun feels really rushed and in need of attention. If you think this is bad, wonder what was left in the cutting room. What kind of ideas has the marketing agency throwing at 3 of the morning. Join me after the jump to see that it could have been much worst (and before you ask, I don't work for DC or any company affiliated with them, this were done for fun).
