I'm burnt out on Batman: Year One stories, but I'm still going to give Batman: Confidential a look, but it's on a short leash/
No exaggeration, Justice Society of America may be my most anticipated title this year. It feels like I've been waiting for it for years.
Manhunter returns with a lot of DC's marketing muscle behind it and about as much support from the creative community as any major label book ever. Will it be enough? I hope so.
By popular acclimation I'm picking up Nightly News. I'm still not sure what it's about.
newuniversal is the kind of major label work Warren Ellis was made for. A blank slate, realistic world with lots of super science. The 'no capital letters in the title' thing is still stupid, though.

I'm enjoying The Nightly News quite a bit, although the 2nd issue seemed a little weaker than the first. I guess that could be attributed to a sophmore slump idea. I'll be watching out for whatever Hickman's next project will be after he finishes this run of 6.
I also picked up newuniversal - curious to see where Ellis takes it...I got out of comics right before the first time Marvel tried the whole New Universe idea.
The White Event.
Nightly news is great! I also recommend Justice League! Cheers!
