What is the source on this? Which title will this be appearing in? 
 
No matter how the villains look here (and I do have to agree on the expressed sentiments concerning Pyg and Riddler) their depictions will simply alter with whoever handles them in their next solo appearance... the Riddler in panels today does not resemble the riddler of a year ago... Killer Croc, similarly resembles his former self in neither appearance nor in manner in his most recent appearance. So this is simply a singular appearance.

I don't think Geoff was denying that he has wanted Sinestro to join back up. He was referring to how Sinestro  didn't want to be in the book... 
 
It certainly seems like JL and JLI are meant to counterpoint each other... certainly brings up the possibility of a crossover war between the pair, which would play out interestingly. The position on aliens is also something to keep a careful eye on I'm thinking.

I love the Arkham reinterpretations of character and Penguin looks like he will be no exception to that... and when I first saw Grundy... I freaked, like a crazy person. SO exciting. Probably a Bane-esque boss, but hopefully a little harder. Actually hopefully tons harder.

Unfortunately, Justice Society hasn't been a top 10 book since around November of 2008. The drop from that period of time to the current resting place around #50 is probably a central reason why it was cancelled. While still marked high above others, that drastic change is pretty significant. 
 
It will, of course return, and the time off will, as it happened before, allow the book to regain its place as a chart topper. 
 
I'm disappointed to not have Cyclone for a bit, as she is one of my top (3) characters, but reasonably I can understand the temporary sidetracking. She will be back. Count on it.

It looks like they're angling to make him the obnoxious type... hopefully at some point they give him some redeeming coverage, at the very least to keep the tastes of Lois quality. Does make you feel for Supes, although at least he doesn't know he was once married.

Those are some expensive statues... however, if it is your thing, it is nice to know that they have something of such an extreme high quality. Some day I might buy one. But only one.

That Oscorp badge is pretty fantastic swag. 
 
I wasn't even aware that there would be a Ghost Rider 2. 
 
Those cycles were sick. 
 
Awesome coverage.

Hi, I'm a new registered user to comicvine... I've used the site as a resource for a long time and have greatly enjoyed it, so I thought it would be time to actually actively engage myself. 
 
I'm a big DC reader, grew up as a big Marvel reader... right now I'm a collector of original art as well... 
 
I'd like to think I'm very positive when it comes to an eye on comic books. So many fans have taken such a negative tone... I'd like to think I'm the equal and opposite reaction to all of that bad vibe. Anyways, I adore comic books and think it is an exciting time to be a fan.
