Highlights from DC Comics Solicitations for April 2011

Check out the latest DC Solicitations at CBR.

Among the things that caught my eye include:

The first "First Wave" hardcover. What's not to like? A cool story by Brian Azzarello featuring the GA Batman, Doc Savage and the Spirit. Also, very beautiful artwork with a noirish twang by Rags Morales and Phil Noto. This can’t-miss pulp fiction hardcover features FIRST WAVE #1-6 and BATMAN/DOC SAVAGE #1.

I've got the two "Justice Society" TPBs from the 1970s. This "Infinity Inc." hardcover picks up the story from there and features Power Girl, Huntress, Star-Spangled Kid, Nuklon, Jade and Obsidian - basically the offspring of the Golden Age characters. Even sweeter that the collection is in hardcover this time.

Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning ("DnA") have been doing some really good work on Marvel's Cosmic heroes as well as the new "Heroes for Hire" in recent years. However, the duo's greatest work (arguably) was on DC's Legion in the 1990s. This hardcover, "Legion Lost" collects the entire 12-issue series and features artwork by a young(er) Olivier Coipel - before he became a superstar artist after "House of M", "Thor" and "Siege".

Finally, something my daughter Moira will absolutely adore - the first hardcover volume collecting stories featuring JMS' Wonder Woman in her new costume! :)
