i STILL haven't been to the comic book store in weeks. i should go today. maybe i will go RIGHT NOW. hrmr. i bet i've already missed a lot of titles fer goods. i hate it when this happens. no comic shop close to my house means i don't want to make a stop in the wet & cold between work/home.
also of possible interest, peter bagge drew this ad for the store i work at:http://a960.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/1/l_e618959c5b46d2b82997bfbdc806f23f.jpg

Anyway, Showcase Aquaman is Aqua-Awesome. VERY kid-oriented. Sorta like the Flintstones, where the most fun is in seeing prehistoric animals playing records, washing dishes, etc, only the underwater animals that do the same in Aquaman never make wisecracks. So far my favourite story is "Aquaman's Sea Animal Hospital", which is a very gentle and non-violent story about Aquaman opening a Sea Animal Hospital (duh) and helping his finny friends (many of which don't actually have fins--there seems to be a rather loose definition of "fish" in these stories). And then, quite suddenly and abruptly, SEA PIRATES SHOOT AQUAMAN DEAD! I won't spoil the story for you, but, um, I'm so happy I got this volume. I'm still not sure if I'll continue buying the Showcase series unabated, but, whatev.

AQUAMAN EVEN HAS THE POWER TO MAKE A STORY WITH THE SILVER AGE GREEN ARROW IN IT GOOD. That's saying something.

Also wonderful is the very first panel in the Aquaman origin story, where you see this frazzled old sailor type shouting incentive at a young kid locked in a tank with two sharks.

It's a good spot though. There's a story to be told as well of the sadness he seems to feel stumbling across the purple-eyed mutant offspring of Atlantis (which may well be why you see it most in the Aqualad stories). He probably needs more EMO STARING ACROSS THE SEA FROM ROCKY OUTCROPS.
Other things remembered about why the rest of you should buy this - Aquaman being able to control a water buffalo because it has... er... water in its name. And the one where Lois Lane gets turned into a mermaid because her legs hurt, only for Superman to memorise the whole history of medicine and turn them back into legs again.
Anyway, Countdown. I'm not sure what the linkage is, but one of the Teen Titans dies in the book shipping a week before the first Countdown. Or perhaps doesn't, but is dead by the time the next issue of Titans comes out.
What's the "major spoiler" mentioned in the comments field on 52 PickUp that's in the latest GLC?
Did Showcase HoM Vol 2 ship when it was supposed to, or has it been delayed?

BTW, finally caught up on 52. That fight = BALLS. Read like GJ all the way (cf. the speechifying about being a hero GOD SHUT UP) w/ the other folks adding dialogue flourishes. Also, smart me didn't realize the other woman in NP was Ms. Prince until I finished reading & looked @ the cover. Brains!

Smart money's on Starfire to bite it (and then come back whenever Johns returns to TT).

As for Wonder Heinberg - I guess "scheduling delays" have prompted DC to push off the final part of his story into some special one-shot / annual thing - #5's gonna be a fill-in, #6 is going to start the Jodi Picoult run, & to make it up to the fannies (according to AH), the final part of Where Is McSteamy? is gonna feature loads of special bonus goodies (hopefully not drawn by C-list fill-ins).
Note to Big Two - when working w/ TV & movie folks, plz get the scripts IN THE CAN before you start soliciting.
