And as for Superman #207 cover preview, I thought that dude with the claws was Wolverine, until I saw the fourth claw. And BTW, I love the cover. It's cool!

Hmmm....nothing to OOOH and AHHH over from me. Birds of Prey looks cool.

I'm not to sure about the Justice League Elite. A similar concept was tried in the old Justice League of America book. (remember Steel, and Vibe ((unknown heroes packaged together with a couple of regular JLAers)) It didn't work then. Needless to say, I will remain skeptical. When will the comic companies learn? :rolleyes:

I am curious about the new Firestorm book. I may have to give the Doom Patrol another look since Byrne is the artist.

It's the aftermath of the war between the Fables and the "wooden soldiers." Looks like there may be casualties...

The whole series has strong ties to the silver age JLA and the members of that era. Hence, also the use of Elongated Man instead of Plastic Man. Not much disclosed yet though...

Let's see... I'll definitely be getting Challengers (I miss Chaykin's work), Identity Crisis, and Books of Magick (Tim written by his creator again? I'm in). Maybe Bloodhound (liked Jolley's JSA elseworlds)... maybe Doom Patrol (loved the Morrison/Pollack team)... but I'm going to have to look at them at the store. Also, I might get the Hush TPB, since I keep hearing that it was a brilliant arc.
