Son of a Bitch. That's both my reaction to you and a possible title for the series.

Ah, all right. Bummer about the letters column, but those other extras sound really neat. Thanks for checking!
Morrison/Burnham Jonah Hex
...I haven't actually read any Jonah Hex (though I do have a TPB on the way), but from the very little I know about Jonah Hex, I'm pretty sure Morrison would nail it.
Edit:
Remender/Opena Lone Ranger sounds pretty great too. Couldn't get enough of those Texas/cowboy parts of Fear Agent.

that's not really Arcade. That Son of Satan is tricking them into killing someone else so that the Masters of Evil can eliminate someone they want eliminated and the kids will have nowhere else to go but Bagalia in one stroke. Like assassinating the President or something, lol. I mean, we've already seen him do something like that.
If not, I think that there's major collateral damage and innocent civilians killed with mostly the same result, but I'm going with the first explanation.
Also, I'm wondering if Cullen really has any control over the Glartrox or just thinks he does, and how much control he even has over himself.

Grayson with Mikel Janin... not sure. His current JL
art is mediocre compared to his earlier work. It's a tragedy that Ulises Arreola stop coloring his work after JL Annual , he really elevated Mikel's artwork to a higher level.
This status quo change sounds like a temporary character phase like during the time on DCU Nightwing when he became a cop.
But Tim Seeley wanting to give Grayson a new arch-enemy and acknowledging him being a man-slut is a step in the right direction.

Well. Someone figure this out.
The Beyond Universe is doing a Justice Lords arc. Sadly both books seem to be wrapped up in it, so they'll be stuck there for a while.
So it could be that.

Well. Someone figure this out.
The picture? Looks like the characters who will be featured in Future's End. The Blood Moon is probably referring to Brother Eye.
Most of the characters are those who haven't seen as much success in the New 52. So might be an attempt by DC to spotlight them and raise their prominence.
Closing a few runs off:
* Catwoman, Vol 3 (Brubaker)
* JLA, Vol 4
* Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Ultimate Collection, Vol 5
It's a bunch of characters chasing each around an an unending labyrinth and getting nowhere fast. Sounds like the latest DC/Marvel event

Nah, that's Future's End stuff. Almost all, if not all, of those guys have been seen in Future's End art, covers and solicitations.

The sleeves and the belt look wrong though.

What about the Batman with the glowing shield? The only one I know that has one is Smallville Batman and it's obviously not him.
Gotta say, Grayson could seriously go either way. Give me a Secret Avengers/Uncanny X-Force style clandestine, interesting characters in interesting locales situation, and I'm down. Give me boring
drama and I'm... not down.

This is what I worry about, Nightwing has been average for the last decade. I really want the character to ascend because it has the potential too. This could be DC's Hawkeye if they approach it the right way.
Hawkeye as in popularity not in pizza dog shenanigans.
Could it though? Hawkeye was in a big movie and even though they're unrelated, the character still has name recognition. Not to mention Hawkeye is doing so well because it doesn't care much about continuity or ongoing Marvel stuff, whereas Grayson has a lot of stuff to understand right off the bat (IMO).
Don't get me wrong, I'd love for it to happen; DC could use their own Hawkeye and the series could do well in that not-tied-up-in-other-books niche, but somehow I doubt DC is smart enough to let it happen.

Purchases of the week:
Superior Spider-Man 31
That's it. I'll be picking it up at ComicCon personally instead of just buying it digitally. It's really exciting.

I don't know. Until I actually see them on shelves or digital I won't believe it's finally coming out.
If they announced it I'm inclined to believe all the artists actually have their scripts and that Quitely has his work ready.
I don't see DC pulling an Inhuman on this one.

Of course... don't know why I was trying to relate this to current continuity but all these characters are definitely individuals plucked from different timelines. Hence the costume differences and all.The sleeves and the belt look wrong though.

Of course. In Geoff Johns own words, Dick Grayson comes 4th after the trinity (Supes,Bats,WW) and honestly there isn't much that even a comics newbie needs to know. He was the first robin, grew up become NW, faked his death and is now doing wetworks. Even if you ask a casual person about Robin, they all say Dick Grayson who has the most recognition as Robin.
The more I think about it the more I can see this was a good move to separate him from the Bat family. The fact that DC is naming the comic Grayson and not Nightwing further makes me believe that DC is smart enough to let it happen.
I guess that makes sense, a few recap panels is enough. The best Dick Grayson stories in the past few years were when he was Batman, so I'm all for him having another new type of story. Fingers crossed that it'll be good, of course. Has this creative team done anything else?
You and me both, All-Star Wonder Woman in 2020. BELIEVE.
I wanna hear more about Wonder Woman too, though.

If the DC house style gives us books like Superman/Wonder Woman then I'll take it over the Marvel She-Hulk "We're so alt it hurts" style.
I don't know how you can look at that Grayson cover and not think it's great looking.
