DC Comics in August
DC comics released their August solicitations today.
Quick thoughts -
Batman: War Games - Another Batman mega-crossover? I will read it in collected form, as I have the last few of these events. The Batman teams tends to execute these fairly well. I wish the X-Men books could work out something similar of high quality.
JLA - Now written by Chuck Austen. His work hasn't clicked with me - especially his X-Men stuff. So pardon me if I don't seem too excited about him tackling the JLA.
Justice League Elite - I read the story in Action Comics 775 that originally featured the Elite. It was a great parody of the Authority. But once again, like all good ideas in comics, these characters will get milked over and over again until they are no longer fresh (Venom, Carnage, Xorn anyone?).
The Authority - One more month until Brubaker and Nguyen!
WE3 - I jumped onto the Grant Morrison bandwagon late in the game. Mostly, I've read his super hero stuff (JLA, New X-Men), but I'm told Invisibles is quite good. WE3 sounds interesting enought that I'll probably pursue it. The solicit describes it as, "The eagerly awaited reunion of the white-hot team of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, WE3 is their most ambitious collaboration yet - their own unique attempt to create a 'Western manga' - in a wild adventure that readers of any age can enjoy.
