- JUL080127 BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS #11 RIP $2.99
On the page this RIP tie-in poses the question: Can the Outsiders survive without the overbaring leadership of their founder, Batman? A fair enough premise, but one wonders how much this question applies to the metatextual fate of a title that will almost certainly find the axe of cancelation dangling above, if not now, at least within the next year or two. With a cast as obscure as they are, the faithful could almost see it as a vehicle for a new leading character -- how about Hawkman? Eh... Me thinks it's time to start that letter writing campaign, fans. This one promised a lot, but might have tanked.

- JUN080259 BILLY BATSON AND THE MAGIC OF SHAZAM #2 $2.25
Without reading the first issue it's so difficult to make a call, but I'd really like to believe in this new series by Mike Kunkel. Starting off with 2007 MVP, Black Adam, is a great way to kick the series off, but I do wonder if the all-ages nature of the comic might just skew a little too young to have the mass appeal of it's Marvel Adventures counterparts. At this point I'm sure there are many who'd appreciate an innocent Captain Marvel comic, but it's hard to say if this is it. Don't worry! I made a promise to myself I'd go a week without complaining about finances or angling for review copies, and... Oh. Oops!

- JUL080136 BIRDS OF PREY #122 $2.99
I routinely have to resist the temptation to fawn over covers, but this one was just too amazing to not mention!
Stephane Roux delivers big time with this cover boasting Huntress, Lady Blackhawk, (and Misfit) looking all business! With Joker looking to spend some quality time with Oracle, and Zatanna on call to take care of a fear-gripped Manhunter, it sounds like there's plenty behind the cover, too!

- JUL082274 CAPTAIN BRITAIN AND MI 13 #5 $2.99
Blade joins MI:13. MI:13 is Spitfire's team. Spitfire is a vampire. Blade kills vampires. Uh oh!

- JUL080105 DC UNIVERSE DECISIONS #1 (OF 4) $2.99
A murder plot forces the heroes of the DC Universe to band together to defend a presidential candidate who might not line up with their own personal ideals. Sure to be an intriguing character study and a rarely obvious entry into the political arena for DC icons!

- JUL080194 DC WILDSTORM DREAMWAR #6 (OF 6) $2.99
Interdimensional catastrophes seem to be a point of interest for DC as they wrap up their cross promotional stint with Wildstorm, just before heading into the combat arena with Mortal Kombat! MK fans disappointed by the diminutive sixteen page collector's comic, or the apparently absent unstoppable crushing power of Doomsday, might like to look here for not only a preview of things to come, but a glimpse of things that might have been! Then again, if I were inclined to read into things, I might wonder if the threat of the moon being torn from it's orbit in this series, might not connect to clues posted in the lead-up to the announcement of MKvsDCU. Is this what you'd call an "event"? Interesting!...

- JUL082418 GENE COLAN TRIBUTE BOOK IRON MAN COVER $9.99

- JUL082284 INCREDIBLE HERCULES #121 $2.99
Herc' bunkers down with Namora just in time to be in Atlantis for an invasion of Amazons! 2008's unrecognised MVP comes out of the Secret Invasion and into a brand new chapter in the rollicking adventures of the Prince of Power!

- JUL082291 MARVEL ADVENTURES AVENGERS #28 $2.99
It's an ungodly love triangle when Odin fixes his son, Thor, a date with daughter of a frost giant, even though the thunder god would rather be out having fun with Storm! The Avengers are on cover duty, but some how I don't think that's going to help the situation!

- JUL080131 ROBIN #178 $2.99
Robin faces down the repercussions of RIP and it sounds like a coming-of-age is in store for the boy wonder, as his world is thrown into turmoil. Brace yourselves for excitement sports fans: not only is a Red Robin in Tim Drake's future, but so is the eagerly anticipated return of Anarky!

- JUL082364 X-MEN FIRST CLASS VOL 2 #16 $2.99
Their dedication to their teammates can run hot and cold, but now the coolest most hot members of two teams are about to abandon their post to form the greatest buddy team ever known! That's right! Ice Man and Human Torch team up to be a two-prong elemental assualt on evil as they ditch the X-Men and Fantastic Four for their own adventures! If that slice of genius pie didn't fill you up, how about a monkey in the wrench? The Torch's old rival in tights, Spider-man, joins the fun in this first class issue!
