So, what do you think? The rest of the solicits are up at DC. Looks like a decent month.

Michael Turner can't write. Brian Azzarello can't write other characters. I'll flip through for Bermejo art, though. I also hold partial allegiance to Kurt Busiek, so I might be tempted to look over whatever it is he's doing.

Doesn't look too thrilling, though. I guess I've just become tired of Superman....or, at least, Superman written poorly.

The real-world Supes mini looks good to me. I don't care about the main titles. Although the Akira/Light Cycle bike looks cool. But that's mostly thanks to computer coloring.

The problems with Top Cow were resolved about a month ago.

Turner's Flash looks cool. But again, most of the credit goes to the colorist.

Michael Turner must have spent his anatomy classes doodling rather than actually paying attention. What the fuck is with Flash's right leg? It's like he's suffering from malnourishment or something.

And there's the "huge hands, small head" thing Jim Lee does with Batman.

Yes. Indeed they do. That cover is great!

Actually, I think that's partially a colorist error. The yellow around the leg makes it look thinner.

It's not smaller than the other, and it's not an error. It's a halo effect; light from the bolt behind. Not everything is supposed to be perfect. Although I must admit, the head is too small.

Out of all the work displayed in this thread, I still prefer Yu's... Immonen's second.

I see that it's yellow, but it still looks too small to me. The other knee is also disproportionate, but the right one is just hideously so.

It's very flashy. But as TK said, I think most of the credit goes to the colorist.

Who cares about Superman in February..it all looks stupid?

The Adam Strange Archives #1 comes out in February though. Now that's entertainment.

It actually looks interesting to me. I am buying the Majestic story then this one. I don't know why but for some reason it looks like it might be good. I dunno
