DC Solicits for May 2020

Not many solicits to talk about but I do have a few things to say about some of them.

RED HOOD: OUTLAW #46
written by SCOTT LOBDELL
art and cover by PAOLO PANTALENA
variant cover by PHILIP TAN
Red Hood, Artemis, and Bizarro have their hands full—and until now they thought the biggest problem they had to face was the uprising of the Untitled during the political protests in Qurac! They’re about to learn this ancient race might very well be the lesser of two evils when the Outlaws square off against one of the oldest and most dangerous threats in all the DC Universe! (We’re not kidding—we know better than to say his name out loud! Yeah, he’s that scary!)
Meanwhile, Artemis has united with Mistress—but at what price? Bizarro meets...his mother? And Jason is forced to choose between Essence and Isabel if he’s going to defeat the Untitled once and for all!

Vandal Savage? Other than Ra's Al Ghul he's the only ancient immortal I can think of that might have anything to do with the Untitled. Is Bizarro's mother someone that worked for Lex Luthor? I'm glad the Mistress search and more of Qurac will be shown. I like more Amazon content but I also love the irony of her home being so near Jason's death site. Especially since she used to be called Requiem in old canon.

Yep, I'm getting this one. I'm not sure which cover yet but it will have Guy Gardner on it. At least these covers have more characters on them.

written by KELLY SUE DeCONNICK

variant cover by TYLER KIRKHAM
Mera wakes up from her coma more powerful than ever before…but finds her kingdom in absolute peril! Meanwhile, with Ocean Master hell-bent on kidnapping the infant Princess Andy to assert his power, Aquaman takes his daughter on the run—as far away from the water as he can manage!

Andy is a cute name and this confirms that she is a brand new character. I can't wait to read this arc in full!



Supergirl ends, more confirmation that Damian isn't Robin as he's no longer a TT (Emiko might lead), and a lot of Joker War stuff. Happily RHATO/RHO hasn't been tied in, yet, hopefully it wouldn't be. Honestly I'd rather not have Red Hood in it at all and since he's living in another state I'm hoping he wouldn't be.

Since Damian isn't headlining in TT that title is probably safe from a crossover. Batgirl and Nightwing however are part of the event. I don't have high hopes but I'll get around to that elsewhere. For now let's just say that DC bat family events, at least since the New 52, have a habit of rushing the family drama without a satisfactory conclusion.

There has been a lot of rumors on a certain delayed title and if their true I don't mind the delays. In fact I might not want to see it get printed at all. It sounds that bad.
