Batman June solicits of interest

[benicio127]

Batman June solicits are up at The Source!

A familiar um, face joins the BoP. Steph joins up with another female sidekick. And a few of the Batboys have to work together.





BIRDS OF PREY #13
Written by GAIL SIMONE
Art and cover by JESUS SAIZ
Things get ugly as The Birds of Prey are trapped in a cunning puzzle box of a skyscraper, pursued by a nightmarish killer who holds all the cards, leaving only the Huntress, the reluctant aide of Renee Montoya, and The Question to free them! And what effect does the death of Oracle have on the team as they race to escape from hell?
On sale JUNE 8 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T

The art in BoP has really let me down. The art in the last book was atrocious. I'm hoping that Jesus Saiz becomes the regular artist.



BATGIRL #22
Written by BRYAN Q. MILLER
Art by PERE PEREZ
Cover by DUSTIN NGUYEN
When Stephanie Brown arrives in London for a top-secret Batman Incorporated assignment, jet lag, lost luggage and those terribly difficult accents are the least of Batgirl’s problems – the actual Greenwich Mean has been stolen, and as all of London literally grinds to a halt, it’s up to Batgirl and Squire to save the United Kingdom! Tally-ho!

SQUEEE! I've been excited about Steph going to this London finishing school and the fact that she's teaming up with Beryl is AWESOME!!



BATMAN AND ROBIN #24
Written by JUDD WINICK
Art and cover by GUILLEM MARCH
The Red Hood is out! But the bigger mystery is who broke him out of prison – and why? His liberators seem to have plans for him. Plans that Jason wants no part of. It’s a street brawl, and unlikely allies come together! Batman, Robin and The Red Hood must fight alongside one another in a knockdown, drag-out battle, taking on the people who sprung Jason Todd.

Why do they insist on giving Red Hood that stupid costume?

It goes for Huntress to...

The full solicit is out at newsarama.

two months in a row i'll only have 2 comic from DC.
It's kinda sad.

[maijson]

Pretty sure Jesus Saiz actually is the regular artist on BoP now.

David Finch and Tony Daniel aside, I really like the direction that the Batman books have taken in the last few months. I especially like the Brave and the Bold nature of Batman Inc and Batgirl.

About the BoP solicit...
Things get ugly as The Birds of Prey are trapped in a cunning puzzle box of a skyscraper, pursued by a nightmarish killer who holds all the cards, leaving only the Huntress, the reluctant aide of Renee Montoya, and The Question to free them!

I thought Renee WAS the current Question.... someone else now?
Or an editorial goof?

[benicio127]

Good Question!

(hyuk, hyuk...) Actually, I don't know??! :O

[nemryn]

I read it as there are three people involved: 1) Huntress; 2) Montoya's aide; 3) The Question

Or do I misread your puzzlement?

[kamino_neko]

Just a botched phrasing, since that's clearly Renee on the cover. Whoever wrote the solicit probably originally wrote it as 'leaving only the Huntress and the Question', then inserted the 'reluctant aide' bit, forgetting to rewrite the rest of the sentence.

[red_menace]

Is...is Damian biting Jason's hand?

[funbox]

I haven't seen anyone say anything about this so here it goes: WTF is going on with Jason's body? How is he THAT much more musculary then Dick? That is one wierd face on Damian XP

[calvision]

Damian never looked more like a feral puppy!

[benicio127]

I think Jason gets more and more muscle-y per appearance. And I think Damian is gnawing on Jason, lol (evil brotherly love? xD)

[benicio127]

xDDD I think so!

[auggie18]

Holy crap, Squire has my mom's name.

[ficticons]

Yeah, seriously. And I wonder how he manages to fit his head inside a helmet of that shape.

[turtlefu]

BoP getting an amazing artist! Jesus Saiz is a really solid artist, I'm so happy!
And...
Renee! I hope she becomes a regular Bird. Maybe then that will make up for the Batwoman delay! :(

[jarodrussell]

And what effect does the death of Oracle have on the team as they race to escape from hell?

*facepalm*

I don't know, maybe they can't say, "Oracle, what do we do?" every time they ask a question, and instead say, "So, what do we do?"

Why do my favorite characters get stuck in books that make them look like [deleted not to offend kingrockwell]?

[thebigapricot]

It's a typo. Gail cleared it up on Tumblr.

[funbox]

Who knows? He might've had to hit the Venom Juice to get on the cover :D

[naebler]

I still don't think this is our core reality Jason Todd. He was lost during 52 and this psychotic delusional freak took his place.

In my continuity he is stranded on another earth staying true Red Hood Lost days and his early real appearance before becoming an idiot.

[kamino_neko]

Your mom is named Squire? >_>

(Seriously, Beryl is an awesome name.)

[funbox]

Speaking of shapes, I hear Jason's promting protection these days :D

[benicio127]

Protection and sex toys. All in a day's work. ;)

[funbox]

Motto, I wish Morrison would intergrate the Lost Days Jason into the accepted continuity

[funbox]

It seems to me that he'd like to "demonstate" the use of his products on Dick ;]

[darkblade]

So how does the secret that Oracle isn't dead that the Birds are in on effect anything?

[ebailey140]

Yay! Batgirl and Squire! Should be fun.
