Solicits: Hal, Jaime, Diana, and... Mitch?

Full DC solicits up.

I already told you about the Justice League of America #14 cover, and the Countdown tie-ins.

The covers to Green Lantern #24 and Green Lantern Corps #17 look good, but I don't trust the solicits enough to try and derive any clues from them. Suffice it to say, I'm going to be reading and hanging on every panel of both books and the two Sinestro Corps tie-in specials.

Blue Beetle's getting in on the fun, too:
BLUE BEETLE #20
Written by John Rogers
Art and cover by Rafael Albuquerque
A “Sinestro Corps War” tie-in! The Lanterns’ war hits home as a yellow ring appears in El Paso. But is it being offered to the Scarab or to Jaime Reyes? And whose will is stronger?

The cover to the Flash #233 has the kids in cute costumes.

Aside from that, this looks written with me in mind:
THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #7
Written by Mark Waid
Art by George Pérez & Bob Wiacek
Cover by Pérez
Wonder Woman and Power Girl fight side-by-side against a foe who may be more powerful than both of them combined!

And, of course, the one to wait for:
WONDER WOMAN #13
Written by Gail Simone
Art and cover by Terry Dodson & Rachel Dodson
An electrifying new era begins for the world’s greatest superheroine! Gail Simone (BIRDS OF PREY, SECRET SIX) joins the phenomenal art team of Terry and Rachel Dodson for what promises to be one of the most exciting Wonder Woman stories ever!
What exactly is the Circle, and what deadly secret do they hold about Diana’s birth? What familiar face from Wonder Woman’s past returns with a mission to spy on Special Agent Diana Prince? Why is the Department of Metahuman Affairs on a collision course with the wounded remnants of the Society of Super-Villains? All this plus monkey assassins in a story that spans the globe and shakes Diana to her core!

I think we can take it as a given that they're digging him up so they can kill him again.

    I sure hope so! Mitch works best when he's being killed!

  4. Resurrection Man! Woohoo! Oh Mitch, I've missed you.

    Plus, Wonder Woman seems to have monkeys in it. Can't go wrong with monkeys.

    And I'm VERY relieved to see covers that actually have Guy Gardner on them. There weren't any for a while, and I was getting worried. (breathes a heartfelt sigh of relief)

  5. Holy crap, Resurrection Man! That's BOSS!

    Seriously, that was a darn good comic.

  6. I bet if you put "All this plus monkey assassins" on ANY solicit, up to and including one for 'Grapes of Wrath', it would boost sales by 20%.

    Yeah, but isn't that his whole schtik?
