Solicits!!!

So the DC Solicits are out (with a scant handful of Marvel ones available as well).

Got some interesting things out there and some reactions from me, of course, in no particular order.

-They've FINALLY found Ray Palmer? Holy heck that took a long damn time! How long does it take to search 52 universes anyway. :-P

-Teen Titans Year One looks interesting, but what the hell is up with Aqualad's face. Why does he look all sunken-eyed zombie? I mean I get that it must be hell being Aqualad, but still!

-I'm guessing that Raven'll be off the Teen Titans, if only because they're doing that whole Titans East thing. It'd be weird to bring back that team and leave her with the spratlings.

-I'm enjoying Countdown and most of the tie ins, and Kory and Buddy are always a fun team. But honestly, I couldn't care LESS about Forerunner. Sorry.

-Crime Bible still looks pretty neat though.

-I really hope that body Ollie's holding isn't Connor's. I mean...sure, no one seems to have figured out what to do with him in ages, but that's just mean. Sheesh.

-This "Familiar Costume" thing in Gotham Underground and possibly Robin looks fairly intriguing. I may not be all gung-ho for the memorial case, but it'd be nice to see Steph acknowledged by the characters a bit more.

-Goddamnit, this Booster Gold thing is really intriguing me. All the nifty Time Travel things.

-So are we gonna see the post Crisis version of the Joe Chill's capture? Because that'll be pretty interesting.

-I like the Superman solicit's parenthetical inserts. (On the moon), indeed.

-Supergirl's getting ANOTHER "Startling new direction"? I'm trying to be optimistic here, but this is starting to sound like a maze.

-Finheaded costumes never look good, sorry, they just don't.

-Flash looks fun (and no Acuna!) while GL is really intriguing. I wonder if those rumors about an Oan Civil War are going to be true. That ought to be fun.
--Why hasn't anyone given Mongul a yellow ring before?

-Yay, new wave heroes in JSA. I've been intrigued by the new Mister America from the first arc. There's just something so powerful about being forced to see the absolute worst consequences for herodom and still putting on the mask. Also Jakeem's finally back!
--On the downside, this means it's even less likely my favorite'll get a speaking line. But I do like the idea of a Justice Society with a wide JLU esque membership.

-A JSA Classified that's actually about characters that haven't been showcased there before? Neat! Plot sounds kind of Orphean, but I won't write it off too quick.

--Wonder Woman's sounding particularly interesting. Exactly the sort of aftermath I've been hoping to see.

And for the record, I totally think the new Cap design is a trick. :-P I'm just sayin'.
