So I spoke about the solicit for Supergirl #36 and the new creative team here. Now it is time to cover the rest of the DC solicits for November.
Here is the Newsarama link to view all the solicits: http://www.newsarama.com/21907-dc-comics-full-november-2014-solicitations.html
Between Multiversity, Worlds' End, a New Gods Green Lantern crossover, and a ton of new non-Batman Batman stuff, DC is making a mark. But outside of Multiversity, Batgirl, and Gotham Academy, I don't think I can afford anything else to be added to my pull.
On to the super-titles.
JUSTICE LEAGUE UNITED #6
Written by JEFF LEMIRE
Art by TIMOTHY GREEN II and JOE SILVER
Cover by ANDREW ROBINSON
Retailers: This issue will ship with four covers. Please see the order form for details.
The Infinitus Saga continues as a displaced Legion of Super-Heroes tries to prevent the destruction of the 31st century by killing Ultra the Multi Alien! Complicating matters is the fact that Multi is a young innocent in the current time period, forcing the Justice League United to stand in the Legion’s way!
I have absolutely loved this title so far but this solicit has me a bit worried.
No Legion I know would ever willingly be looking to kill someone, even a threat. It is in their constitution! It is grounds for expulsion from the team. I am thrilled to see the Legion again. But a murdering Legion?? Not so much.
Second, at the Boston Comic Con, I learned from Mike McKone that he was off JLU. I don't know if I would have chosen Timothy Green as someone to take over. Green's style is so rough and warped. It worked fine on a quasi-horror book like Animal Man. But a Silver Age-y book like JLU needs someone whose style is smoother.
I need this book to remain awesome.

ACTION COMICS #36
Written by GREG PAK
Art and cover by AARON KUDER
A new epic begins! The deck is stacked against Superman when Smallville is poisoned by the appearance of dark magic and ancient horrors! Can Superman figure out what’s going on and save his hometown before this evil epidemic spreads across the entire world?
Doomed is over! Pak and Kuder remain on the book! A phenomenal iconic cover! And a mystical new story.
Hurrah! Hope this book gets back to the excellence we saw pre-Doomed.

SUPERMAN #36
Written by GEOFF JOHNS
Art and cover by JOHN ROMITA, JR. and KLAUS JANSON
Geoff Johns and John Romita Jr. continue their stunning work on SUPERMAN with “THE MEN OF TOMORROW” chapter five! Superman and Ulysses are an unstoppable team, thwarting the plot of one super-villain after another, but when Ulysses sees a larger menace threatening Earth why does the Man of Steel refuse to help him? Plus, Superman is about to undergo a metamorphosis...but what is it?
I have liked the first couple of issues under Johns/Romita. We have seen some return of more classic Superman ideas here. Thwarting super-villains sounds like big action! So glad to see both Superman main titles have some solid creative teams and plots.

BATMAN/SUPERMAN #16
Written by GREG PAK
Art by ARDIAN SYAF and SANDRA HOPE
Cover by ARDIAN SYAF and DANNY MIKI
New artist Ardian Syaf joins the hit series as a mystery begins! An unseen terror launches deadly strikes against major cities…and the only clue is Kryptonite! Can Batman and Superman bring an invisible foe to justice before more damage is done?
I am not surprised that there is a new artist on the book as Jae Lee (while superb) seemed unable to keep up with deadlines. I liked Syaf's work on Brightest Day and Green Lantern so he should be great on this book.

SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN #13
Written by PETER J. TOMASI
Art and cover by DOUG MAHNKE
Welcome the new creative team of writer Peter J. Tomasi (BATMAN AND ROBIN) and Doug Mahnke (JUSTICE LEAGUE)! The unity between Superman and Wonder Woman will be tested as never before as a mysterious group of villains make their New 52 debut – but first, Atomic Skull and Major Disaster cause trouble for our favorite heroic couple!
Every time I think I'm out they pull me back in.
I thought I might be leaving this book once Tony Daniel left the book. But then DC goes ahead and puts a great creative team on the book. I have liked Tomasi's writing on Batman & Robin and Green Lantern Corps. And I think Doug Mahnke's art is fantastic. So looks like I'll be sticking around here a bit.
And some classic villains too!

SMALLVILLE SEASON 11: CHAOS
#4
Written by BRYAN Q. MILLER
Art by AGUSTIN PADILLA
Cover by CAT STAGGS
As Supergirl and Superboy battle the Eclipso-infected horde in Metropolis, Hank Henshaw takes the battle into the Hive-Mind that controls them, while Lex’s soldiers make plans to avoid the blame! As usual, Lex is one step ahead of everyone else – except Superman.
Hmmm ... sounds like Supergirl might be leading the way in this issue. So no complaints there! Seeing Supergirl and Superboy fighting back to back harkens back to the days of Team Superman in the late 90s and early 00s!
Beautiful cover by Cat Staggs here. I love that Supergirl costume!

TINY TITANS: RETURN TO THE
TREEHOUSE #6
Written by ART BALTAZAR and FRANCO
Art and cover by ART BALTAZAR
In this final miniseries issue, Cyborg uses his connections to the Justice League to build an awesome new tower! But it just doesn’t feel like home. Can anything be done to get the old treehouse back?
And lastly, some fun!
It's the last issue of the Tiny Titans. This book has given me some smiles ... some much needed DC smiles. Love the look of the book. Check out the Donna Troy costume - a sort of dress version of her red jumpsuit costume! And a Wonder Woman wearing pants ... that looks good!
Hope this sells well enough to come back in some form or another later.

At first I was like why have you made another sad cover for Kara on Justice League United 6. Then I noticed she was protecting a child and her team mates where protecting her.
I think that's the issue we will start to see the change in her as she realises her human team mates are willing to fight for something other than them selfs and she will start to open up to them a bit more.
I'm in for the long haul in Jeff Lemire I trust
Something really appealing about the simplistic design of the Machinist. Dr. Doom-like mask (or head if he's a robot), and hobo clothes? Just works for me, haha.
Smallville again in Action. What with Lana too, it looks like Pak and Kuder may have called dibs on the old hometown. Fine by me - send Baka to school there!
The LSH precis does sound off but I'm going to follow Bartiemus and trust Jeff Lemire. He sounds a real fan so I can't see him bungling such a fundament.
And Tomasi and Mahnke's first Superman/Wonde Woman sounds tremendous.
