Why is Renée Montoya commissioner? I thought Harvey Bullock was holding the position for Jim Gordon, but Jim opened a detective agency with Bullock?
Next week we will get the Heartless mystery finally unraveled in the next Nightwing annual.

Wtf, they're putting out a new Hal Jordan book but are having Mariko Tanaki write it? The activist who wrote "I am not Starfire" with the obese daughter of Starfire?
There is no hope for this company.

Also, it surprises me that Tom King still gets work, but two ongoings. I doubt that the Penguin title will last any more than a year's worth of issues. I assume DC is hoping to get some mileage out of the HBO Max Penguin mini-series.

When it was stated that Boy Thunder would become an existing character I guessed Wildfire. Well, David Sikela is revealed to become

So the next DC threat/event is a Suicides Squad Civil War as Amanda Waller wants to contain meta humans. Sounds pretty lame especially since her heavies are Peacemaker and Composite Superman. I didn't think this last Suicide Squad movie did any better than the first one and I prefer the first one so I don't know what DC wants to double down on a no name like Peacemaker.
Upcoming in World's Finest we see Linda and Dick go on a date and the beginning of a world traveling arc featuring Metamorpho. The odd thing about the failed date is I wondered about the dynamic between Dick and Linda, the classic #2s of the World's Finest, but because of their tether to Barbara Gordon, Dick being the love interest and Linda was the best friend before COIE.

Who is Henry Bendix? I am not familiar with the character. Do we know yet how Jeremiah Arkham is related to this Orkham family?

I picked up a few of the original World's Finest volume and one thing stood out, it refers to the Superman/ Jimmy Olsen team like they are crime fighting partners. Would that not be Superman/ Supergirl? In fact in the Brainiac/Clayface II team up had it Jimmy unable to work at Superman's side after taking kryptonite dust and had to switch places with Robin. Robin and Jimmy couldn't fulfill the other's role that well. It seemed so odd. Jimmy is not trained to fight crime let alone endanger himself in the line of Brainiac or Darkseid!
Also, Cadmus is it a executive branch funded government operation? Meanwhile Star Labs is a high profile technology imdependant company? I get the two mixed up.

Tamaki is no longer going to launch Green Lantern: Hal Jordan, but instead Jeremy Adams who has knocked it out of the park with Wally West in the lead of The Flash. This is welcome news!

DC did a 180 with Hal Jordan and I look forward to his solo title starting up again. The promise of him being Earth bound is reassuring and something that has had little time since he was restored back in 2004. There are a few of his Earth based villains that are heavily underused and only Black Hand was updated to fit the cosmic setting.

In the Superman relaunch by Joshua Williamson, Lex will hand over ownership of Lexcorp to Superman and it's rechristened Supercorp
I wonder if this is DC's way of mimicking the Parker Industries era of Spider-Man, but showing how more involved it can be by including Clark's marriage and family. |

oooh I might be in for Steel. Simon Spurrier did a great shortlived Constantine run so I know he will do great with Flash.

Looks like Grant Morrison's retirement from DC was short-lived, he's writing something new for a Pride special that involves the Multiversity

Batgirl/Barbara Gordon makes a cameo alongside Supergirl. We see the conclusion of a mission that had Mxyz and Bat-Mite impersonate Batgirl and Supergirl. Just like the Manhattan over Boston I really want to read it. Man, the classic characters and a modern serialized feel with fun. Why can't comics be like this with all the dread, woke, and events seizing the industry?! Who else is loving this book?
