Niiiiice.
So DC has been On Notice since the beginning of Final Crisis and will remain so until Martian Manhunter comes back for reals; I make some exceptions --- I read Secret Six every month as soon as I can get my hands on it and I picked up the Batman/Detective Annual two parter --- but I've been steering clear of the main DCU for a while now. This, however, is pretty cool: in January DC is putting the Blackest Night series on hold and bringing back eight cancelled titles for one month, picking up each series from its original numbering and featuring characters from its original run.
That's right, Blackest Night is bringing dead titles back from the grave.:)
Here's the run down:
Power of Shazaam #48: Eric Wallace tells the tale in which Osiris returns from the dead to "chew the fat" with a very powerless Billy and Mary Batson.
Catwoman #83: Fabian Nicieza has the original Black Mask explaining to Selina why shooting him in the head was a bad idea.
Suicide Squad #67: John Ostrander is bringing Deadshot's past back to haunt him. That means Suicide Squad!
Phantom Stranger #42: Peter Tomasi reveals what Blackest Night means to the Phantom Stranger.
Weird Western Tales #71: Dan Didio lets you know what all the dead Old West characters are doing in the New West today.
Atom and Hawkman #46: Geoff Johns brings you the double date from Hell, the Black Lantern Hawks work to reunite Atom with his long dead love, Jean Loring.
Starman #81: James Robinson returns to the book he made great and visits some old haunts.
And, now the best part:
Question #37: Greg Rucka has the one answer for when two Questions meet.
*flails* I said when they started this storyline I wanted zombie!Vic to throw down with Renee, but I didn't think I'd actually get it!
Aside from maybe Atom and Hawkman, there isn't a single title on that list I wouldn't read. Well played, DC.
