Soliciting

Post date: Jun 14, 2011 7:38:58 PM

The light-on-new-info solicit for Grant Morrison and Rags Morales' Action Comics #1 was published yesterday by DC, alongside the fifty one other new number ones that debut in September. Bizarrely, Batman Incorporated (the organisation, not the comic) seems to loom large in the solicitation text for many of the Bat-family titles, making its cancellation seem even more peculiar and suggesting that the much-feared 'reboot' and return to the previous status-quo is going to be much softer than most realized.

Given that we already have one more Batman Incorporated issue solicited than is planned to be published (#6 was advertised as the first in a two parter with Chief Man-of-Bats rather than the improptu Bruce Wayne World Tour that we got), it'll be interesting to see just how far #7 deviates from what's been advertised or indeed what we're all expecting (i.e. the first salvo in a hasty wrap-up) when its released on June 29th.

Anyhow, back to Action...
