dadiceguy at 12:42am on 23/08/2006 under comic previewsOnce again I am doing my monthly cruise thru Previews. Breaking it up into DC, Marvel and Image. Hopefully get to some of the smaller publishers later in the week. This mostly stuff that looks interesting to me or you might not hear about.
BATMAN/THE SPIRIT
Written by Jeph Loeb & Darwyn Cooke
Art by Cooke & J. Bone
Cover by Cooke
Will Eisner's legendary hero The Spirit returns for a monumental meeting with the Dark Knight in this special one-shot event written by comics luminaries Jeph Loeb (SUPERMAN/ BATMAN) & Darwyn Cooke (DC: THE NEW FRONTIER) with art by Cooke & J. Bone!
When the American Criminologist Association holds its annual convention, its members are unaware that America's criminals are holding a gathering of their own. And when Batman's rogue gallery joins forces with the Spirit's colorful criminals, things can only get worse!
With dozens of villains on the loose and the nation's security at stake, two very different crimefighters must come together to save the day. Guest-starring just about everyone from the supporting casts of both comic-book icons - including Robin, Catwoman, the Joker, Ebony, P'Gell, Commissioner Dolan and more - this is an historic comics event you won't want to miss!
On sale November 29 o 48 pg, FC, $4.99 US Edited by Mark Chiarello
Jeph Loeb is cool. Darwyn Cooke is cool. J. Bone is cool. And the Spirit is cool. And the Batman is okay too.
HUNTRESS: DARK KNIGHT DAUGHTER TP
Written by Paul Levitz Cover by Brian Bolland
Art by Joe Staton, Steve Mitchell, Bob Layton, Bruce Patterson and others
The first solo appearance and a run of backup adventures of the Huntress - the daughter of Earth-Two Batman and Catwoman - are finally collected in this special volume featuring a stunning cover by Brian Bolland! This volume includes stories from DC SUPER STARS #17, BATMAN FAMILY #18-20, and WONDER WOMAN #271-287, #289-290 and #294-295.
Advance-solicited; on sale December 27 o 224 pg, FC, $19.99 US
Like the Justice Society trade that came out earlier this month I am really geeked about this bit of pre-Crisis goodness. For me this is the real Huntress.
BIRDS OF PREY #100
Written by Gail Simone
Art by Nicola Scott & Doug Hazlewood
and Paulo Sequiera & Robin Riggs
Cover by Jerry Ordway
It's time to bring in new blood! Who will be asked to join Oracle in her all-new Birds Of Prey? Who will refuse, and who will fly the coop for good? Plus, a backup story following Black Canary and her new role in the DCU!
On sale November 15 o 48 pg, FC, $3.99 US
New role for the Black Canary? What was wrong with the old one? They better not be taking her out of this book.
JSA CLASSIFIED #19
Written by Scott Beatty
Art by Rags Morales & Michael Bair
Cover by Morales
Part 1 of the 2-part "Skin Game," written by Scott Beatty (BATGIRL: YEAR ONE) with art by Rags Morales & Michael Bair (IDENTITY CRISIS)! The stolen body-part market is booming in the metahuman world, as a series of mysterious "thefts" involving the enhanced working "parts" of various metahumans draws the interest of Dr. Mid-Nite himself!
On sale November 22 o 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US
Not a big Scott Beatty fan, but the combination of Morales and Bair on the art along with Dr Mid-Nite is a enough of a draw for me.
NEW TEEN TITANS: TERRA INCOGNITO TP
Written by Marv Wolfman
Art and cover by George Pérez & Romeo Tanghal
An amazing new volume collecting NEW TEEN TITANS #28-34 and NEW TEEN TITANS ANNUAL #2! Tara Markov is rescued from kidnappers by Changeling. Thus begins her quest to use her powers over earth and gravity for good, and join the team as Terra. Does this obnoxious young powerhouse have what it takes to be a team player?
Advance-solicited; on sale December 13 o 224 pg, FC, $19.99 US
Wolfman and Perez at their peak on the Teen Titans. The whole Terra saga under one cover and the first appearace of Dick Grayson in his very 1980's large collar costume.
SUPERMAN CONFIDENTIAL #1
Written by Darwyn Cooke
Art and cover by Tim Sale
Don’t miss this first 6-part story arc in a brand-new ongoing Superman series, brought to you by the award-winning writer Darwyn Cooke (DC: The New Frontier) and artist Tim Sale (Superman: For All Seasons, Batman: Dark Victory)!

Witness Superman's first encounter with the radioactive chunks of his home planet and learn how it changed his life.
On sale November 1 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US Edited by Mark Chiarello
Hmmm Cooke and Sale doing a book together? Can we expect some neo-Silver Age comic goodness? I think so.
RED MENACE #1
Written by Danny Bilson, Paul DiMeo & Adam Brody
Art by Jerry Ordway & Al Vey
Cover by Jerry Ordway
Variant cover by Darwyn Cooke
Writers Danny Bilson & Paul DeMeo (THE FLASH: FASTEST MAN ALIVE) and comics-newcomer Adam Brody (star of The O.C.) - with art by fan-favorite Jerry Ordway (TOP 10: BEYOND THE FARTHEST PRECINCT, JSA) & inker Al Vey - present what's sure to be the most talked-about miniseries of the fall. RED MENACE is a story of heroes and the corrupt leaders they must take a stand against!
Los Angeles, 1953: Home to bent cops, smooth criminals, and curvaceous starlets; where the glamour and wealth of Hollywood and Beverly Hills collide with the crime and grit of Chinatown. Amidst this startling contrast, American ideals are under siege by Joseph McCarthy and the H.U.A.C. trials, rooting out communist threats where ever they may lie - even in the ranks of the super heroic! Can there be any doubt about the loyalties of L.A.'s greatest and most patriotic hero, the Eagle? America is about to find out the hard way!
Retailers: This issue will feature 2 covers that may be ordered separately. The Standard Edition cover is by Jerry Ordway & Al Vey; one copy of Variant Edition A, with a cover by Darwyn Cooke, may be ordered for every 10 copies of the Standard Edition ordered. Please see the Previews Order Form for further details.

I agree with you on the Flash. I'm not a big Flash fan, except for Jay Garrick, but I don't understand WHYT they had to do all this crap with the Speed Force and yet ANOTHER new Flash. If they wanted to get rid of Wally, they should have just had him retire to help raise his children and let Bart become the new Flash.
