Wow. I've been so involved with other work, I totally missed when this month's advance solicitations went up on the 19th. I was shocked a new Previews was already in stores. Good thing there wasn't much new of note for this blog, and last months uncovered extras were bountiful...
DC Heroclix Brave & Bold Booster PackI'm beginning to suspect the image that will define Tom Mandrake's career is his cover to Martian Manhunter #24. There's actually a Wiki page for Chocos. More product facts can be found here.

Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths (Two-Disc Edition)Is it wrong I'm more excited about animated Conehead OYL Manhunter and an alternate Earth Justice League Detroit than I was for the Wonder Woman DTV flick? In my defense, my fandom has been abused for years, not excluding Gail Simone's tepid current run?

"The New World"
DC's superheroes have always reflected America; protecting what's right and fighting for good. In the previous ages of DC Comics, these were characters you might see in a parade, waving a flag, and carrying a child on their shoulders. They were living in simpler times and they were "as American as apple pie." But since then, America has changed. There are now real dangers in America, and DC wanted our new world to be reflected in the DC Universe. It was now very clear. There would be dangerous consequences from being a superhero.

Now that Superboy is reunited with the Teen Titans, Wonder Girl’s discovering what having her boyfriend around all the time means — and it’s not all good.
When I first saw that Heroclix I thought that was a custom. That is awfully adorable. I wonder if there's an Alter Ego John Jones in the set?
ReplyDeleteI don't know why (just craving more Bruce Timm JLU, probably), but I am psyched for Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. I've already requested it at the library. I'm willing to overlook the OYL look because that fight sequence 45 seconds in is pure awesome. Hopefully it won't disappoint.
I liked the Wonder Woman one, which I mostly bought for my girlfriend, but ended up enjoying probably a bit more. It certainly wasn't mind blowing, but it was far from terrible. I walked away feeling like I'd enjoyed the 90-odd minutes.
ReplyDeleteI caught the New Frontier 2-disc for about $10. The Wonder Woman single disc is selling for that at Frye's, but I'm holding out for a better deal on the deluxe edition. So far, I've given the rest a pass.
