Courtesy pal JP, a DC Comics logo I neglected to mention in my brief overview a few days back…scanned from the cover of Girl’s Romance #150. What I wouldn’t give to see that particular logo on the cover of, say, Batman.
So the internet is all abuzz about the plan to jump ahead a year in continuity in the DC Universe books following all the planned crossovers and mini-series and whatnot that’s coming over the next few months. I don’t have a problem with that (in case any of you were desperately wondering), but I was joking with pal Dorian that when they make that year-jump on Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner should be starring in the book again. No sign of Hal Jordan, no explanation.
Well, I think that would be funny.
Another recent announcement was that DC will be releasing Essentials-style black and white collections of older material, including, apparently, Jonah Hex (something I was pushing for way back when, though in a manga-sized format).
That’s cool with me…if I can get hundreds of pages of Silver Age Superman in one volume, I’m not going to care if it’s lacking color. Besides, I read enough b&w reprints of Superman comics as a kid that I’m sure it won’t seem strange to me.
Oh, and DC…if we we’re not going to get a Sugar & Spike Archives, I’ll settle for a black and white edition. C’mon, just put one out already.
Now we just need to get DC to reprint Amethyst in the manga format….

A belated thanks to Augie for his kind mention of this here goofy comics site.
