With all the anticipation and waiting finally over the time has come! This week is full of long delayed DC Books that deserve a good hard, hot, and heavy reading: I am talking pages spread; fingers flailing wildly; mouth watering at all the tasty bits laid out before you.

#3

Title: Forever Evil Arkham War # 6

Price: $2.99

Writer: Peter J. Tomasi

Artist: Jamie Mendoza and Scott Eaton

Story/Premise

 The final battle for Gotham City starts now! The Scarecrow has unleashed a mutated army of Arkham’s worst killers, and only Bane can stop them! It all leads into FOREVER EVIL #7!

Opinion

Who doesn't love the idea of this wonderful series? The infighting of the Bat's villains has reached it's pinnacle.  Bane vs Venomed out Arkham inmates! If the cover and the prior issues are any indication we are looking forward to a great battle and nicely woven plot to go along with this tie in. It is the superior of the three miniature tie ins to the main event of Forever Evil, but how well will they wrap it up? Here's to hoping! 

#2 

 

Title: Batman/Superman Annual #1
Price: $5.99
Writer: Greg Pak
Artist: Jae Lee and Ed Benes

Story/Premise
 It’s the first meeting of Supergirl and Red Hood, Steel and Supergirl and more as the competing Batman and Superman families must battle for the control of the missing Mongul’s fortress! And at the heart of it, Batman and Superman deal with their grief over their fallen comrades.

Opinion
Holy crap this one has been a long time coming.  It was originally supposed to show up at the end of January along with a slew of other annuals from DC but it kept getting pushed back further and further, week to week.  However it is out now and looks to be great!  We have war world and earth in peril, clan Batman vs clan Superman, and even A SUPERDOG?  Can it look any cooler/sound any better than that? Maybe if it was our #1...

#1 

Title: Forever Evil #6 (mofos!)
Price: $3.99
Writer: Geoff Johns
Artist: David Finch and Richard Friend

Story/Premise
 The final fate of Nightwing! The most unlikely of allies have set the Crime Syndicate in their sights — and they’re playing for keeps while the life of a hero hangs in the balance! Plus, the identity of the mysterious man in the hood is finally revealed!

Opinion
If you have been reading my buy list, you know that time is like a desert and this book is the water I crave. There is so much hype for this book in my mind I just can't stand it.  Working at a comic book store to pay the bills doesn't help either, because I constantly have people asking when this comes out.  During those times of distributing bad news I would console the customer and we would embrace and weep, our tears mingling and going on to feed some sadistic god who revels in my misery.  But now that time is over, and it's so close I can taste it.  I have my predictions about how they are going to deal with all this, but I will leave those aside for now and let you read it unspoiled (potentially).  My body is ready.

 Notable Titles:

Green Lantern #29

Earth 2 #21 

Detective Comics #29
