DC Solicits for April 2020

Still no Three Jokers and given rumors I'm okay with that.



CATWOMAN 80TH ANNIVERSARY 100-PAGE SUPER SPECTACULAR #1
Our gal Catwoman is turning 80 next year (and looking very good, if we meow say), and DC is celebrating with nothing less than with a huge soiree, invite only, packed with creators who mean the most to her and to whom she means the most! Stories featured in this 100-page spectacular include a tail—sorry, tale—that takes place at the end of the Brubaker/Stewart Catwoman run, in honor of artist Darwyn Cooke. Plus, Catwoman is caught by an exotic cat collector, runs into a wannabe thief trying to prove himself as her apprentice, encounters a mystery involving memorabilia from alternate continuities, and of course some Bat/Cat fun.
PRESTIGE FORMAT | ONE-SHOT | ON SALE 04.15.20
$9.99 US | 96 PAGES

There's a lot of anniversary issues this year and while I have no desire to buy the Joker super spectacular I might get this one. I am getting the Wonder Woman, Robin and Flash books for sure, but I'm glad these are spaced out.


RED HOOD: OUTLAW #45
written by SCOTT LOBDELL
art and cover by PAOLO PANTALENA
variant cover by PHILIP TAN
Red Hood, Artemis, and Bizarro have battled many threats together...but they’ve never faced a veritable army of the damned! Which is what is happening during the protests on the streets of Qurac as the Untitled prepare to strike at the heart of humanity! At the same time Artemis has to go sword-to-word with Essence. As the enemy gathers its forces, it is clear the Dark Trinity needs to expand
its roster—and fast!
ON SALE 04.22.20

Qurac, that's a location that fascinates me. It's not only where the amazons of Bana-Mighdall live, it's the place the Arsenal/Iron Rule showdown went down and of course where Jason died. Sword to sword, huh? Didn't Akila say Artemis had no equal in swordplay? Are we getting more Outlaws? Is Essence evil? Why is Jason using a crowbar on the cover when he has a katana and the All Blades? Okay, that last one was a nitpick.


TEEN TITANS #41
written by ADAM GLASS and ROBBIE THOMPSON
art by EDUARDO PANSICA and JULIO FERREIRA
cover by BERNARD CHANG
variant cover by KHARY RANDOLPH
At the gates of heaven itself, the Teen Titans must battle Djinn’s older brother Elias with the fate of the world hanging in the balance! But victory comes at a terrible cost—because one of the Teen Titans won’t be making it back!
ON SALE 04.15.20
$3.99 US | 32 PAGES


I'll be pissed off if they kill off Roundhouse. Right now he's the only likable character. I was planning on dropping this title but then I saw the next solicit...


TEEN TITANS ANNUAL #2
written by ADAM GLASS and ROBBIE THOMPSON
art by JAVIER FERNANDEZ
cover by BERNARD CHANG
After Batman discovers the Teen Titans’ most shocking secrets, he arrives at Mercy Hall…and he wants a word with Robin. Don’t miss the confrontation between father and son that will alter the very course of the DC Universe. Will the Teen Titans ever be the same?
ON SALE 04.29.20
$4.99 US | 48 PAGES

It's about time, I honestly started to think we'd never get this confrontation. This shows that Bruce finally stopped being a blind hypocrite and started acting like a dad. Hopefully he doesn't beat Damian into a coma like he almost did with another son. All we need is for Bruce to catch a clue about what actually happened with Jason and my faith in his detective abilities will be restored. If Damian is punished--if Robin is taken from him--it's been a long time coming. I love the Robins but I want Damian back on track again. Having Dick look out for him was great but he can't do it right now. It's Bruces' responsibility not Dick's. And at the moment Damian desperately needs someone to keep him in line.




Max Lord is being hyped up more as a villain for Wonder Woman with his TPB. Booster looks like a idiot that (for some reason) wants to be partners with the woman that repeatedly (and gleefully) tried to murder him for a crime he didn't commit. I keep hoping for a Booster appearance or title that I'd enjoy and keep getting disappointed. Sure he's normally a fun character but he used to be a freaking Time Master. Can't DC give him some respect?
