Via evadne_, Waid is going to write a new Brave and Bold series! In the classic[1] "Anyone and anyone else" format! YAY!

*drops dead of fannish glee* Oh, my god, YES. This makes me so happy.

Also, the first issue of Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatthies's Defenders mini is coming out this coming Wednesday! JLI fans take note!

*takes note, and will be there*

It also gets points for featuring Darkseid on the side of the angels (if, ultimately, with his own agenda), which is how I prefer him.

*blinks* Okay, I'm fairly certain this is the first time I've ever heard anyone express that view of Darkseid. Is there a particular reason you like him done this way?

The Complete Jon Sable Freelance Volume 2: Created, written, and illustrated by Mike Grell, and therefore PRETTY. Which is mostly why I read it, but it has plenty of well-done mystery and action stuff, too.

I've been picking up the new mini, partly out of mild nostalgia--I own the first five issues, plus, Grell--but mostly because it's the prettiest thing on the racks right now. It's not bad, although I find myself uncharitably thinking "Good lord, aren't you over the deaths of your family yet?" I may get to the collection sometime, but not just at present. And GRIMJACK is in line ahead of it, anyway.

It's really a lot like Grell's GA run--Grell is Grell, after all--only with OCs that Grell can do what he wants with. And guns rather than arrows.

You know Sable appeared unofficially in GA, right?

Also, Jon Sable, freelance adventurer/mercenary/what have you, has a Sekrit Identity of B.B. Flemm who writes childrens books. Which is just plain cool.

That bit is definitely...different. *g*
