The horrible thing is how many of your blurbs would make better issues than whatever the actual solicit would indicate.
That CATWOMAN cover... man, Loeb's team had better not set female comics characters back decades by turning Selina into nothing more than a sexy damsel. WTF is with that facial expression. Even Dick Grayson doesn't get as egregiously victim-coded as that.
Also, that last cover... Possibly this is a regional thing, with DC/Marvel crossovers shipping to some areas? But the rumours I've heard at FLCSs in my area involved this Wildstorm solicit:
Apollo has been anally raped by villains from across the multiverse. But he's never before faced the fury of Hal Jordan's fist! Does this herald the return of Parallax? Is some remnant of the Spectre's "God hates fags" mindset affecting Jordan's mind? Does Hal realise that the Midnighter has fought this battle in his head a million ways and the Green Lantern has already lost? 32 pages, $3.50, in stores on Feb. 29
