Insight on Huntress, Karen Starr, and Mr. T's futures following the mini?

Cruising DC's official blog, I came across this *beautiful* piece of information regarding what books Huntress will be connected to in DCnU, and *may possibly* appear in the future.

( SPOILERS!....Maybe. )

( For legality )

Power Girl vs Power Girl

Continued from the JSA Annual I posted a while back, only with more clusterfuckery abound.

( Can't say I enjoyed the story as much as I would have liked...or maybe I just don't like Power Girl 2.0 )

The Halls of Fate, Part Four

In our last chapter, Hector was subjected to bodysnatching, psychic intervention, ancient wizard dickery, and finally found a long lost someone. In this chapter, we get two reunions, a fight, and a lot of history hopscotching between DC and Vertigo. Twenty-five pages from six issues, spread out over JSA, Infinity Inc., and Sandman.

Also features the second-creepiest panel of Hector ever.

The Halls of Fate, Part Two

(Now with 30% more ranting!)

In the first chapter of our story, Doctor Fate was reincarnated as someone several of the older JSA members knew well. In this chapter, we get a quest, a resurrection, and some nice, old fashioned WTF. Forty pages spread out over JSA #8-#46.

The Halls of Fate, Part One

(yes, I know, bad pun, shut up)

Anyway.

After the events of Gaiman's Sandman, it's revealed in JSA Secret Files and Origins that Wesley Dodds, the man who fought crime under the name Sandman in the 40s, still retains the "gift" of prophetic dreams that he gained in his encounter with Morpheus. And so our story begins with a death, a murder, and a reincarnation.

Thirty two total pages from Secret Files, and JSA #1-4. So very not dialup friendly.

JSA vs. Kobra #3 Preview up on Newsarama

More of the awesome the series has been giving out plus a fun little thing I loved to see in the story.

P.S. I'm still in Greece but thankfully my cousins have a comp I can use.

( Live with the report... )

JSA #27

So, it looks like Jerry Ordway's going to be doing at least one JSA arc (writing and art both, possibly -- definitely for this first issue) before Willingham takes over.

GOOD.

The mere beginnings of the plot that we see in this issue still appear to be of much higher quality than what Geoff Johns produced in his final throes on the title.

I'm just going to post the first 4 pages, because the rest are so intertwined that cherry-picking anything from them would require tons of explanation that I don't have time to write up.

( Atom Smasher talks about his personal history over drinks with someone I bet most of you won't expect... )
