Straight out of the JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE RISE OF ARSENAL miniseries, Arsenal signs up with Deathstroke and Cheshire when the Titans target a child slavery ring for takedown. What they unearth will shock you to the core!

Love this cover! I can only reiterate what I've said about her character a thousand times: that to grieve and mourn and feel loss isn't in stark contradiction with an ability to commit sociopathic and horrific acts against those they see as dehumanized.

It's too bad this is part of a book that I don't really want to support. Even Osiris -- the kid who was nearly suicidal after taking the life of a villain in 52, and his heel turn is just... eugh here.

ALSO LOL YOU GUYS I GUESS ARSENAL REALLY IS GOING TO BE SUPER 90S EXTREME

I am so essite.jpg for trainwreck. Is that a sword sticking out of a stump for an arm? I THINK IT MIGHT BE.........

BRIGHTEST DAY continues as what readers have been asking for finally arrives: a male Star Sapphire in the form of the Predator. But how is this entity unlike the others? And what does it want with Carol Ferris? Meanwhile, the White Lantern is defended by an unlikely hero…

Either they're genuinely so incredibly stupid that they honestly believe they're actually addressing the problem with this, or they don't care even a little bit about the message they're sending with the Sapphires and this is a big Take That, like "you want a male Sapphire, fine, try this on for size, you oversensitive shrieking hysterical feminazi harpies, ha!"

I generally try to live by that old "attribute nothing to malice that can be adequately explained by stupidity" adage, but based on prior industry behavior (that one Outsiders preview jumps to mind, or anything Quesada's ever said ever), I tend to think that with comics, fanbaiting is actually the more likely choice.
