Tomorrow...technically today, since it's after midnight...I have 7 books I'm definitely buying and 4 more possibilities (meaning, I'll browse them at the store and then decide). I may have 11 books to write about next time. Remember when I tried writing one sentence about each book? I may resort to one word per book. As for these three...
Superman/Batman 68: The storyline that begins here follows up on a story told 4 issues ago, and is yet another story in this book set in the recent past, when Bruce Wayne was still alive and kicking as Batman. It's also labeled on the cover as a followup to the "Our Worlds At War" event (published in 2001), but so far, other than taking place shortly after that war ended, there seems to be no actual connection.
The Power Of Shazam! 48: This actually was out a week ago but I didn't buy it then. Another canceled series "resurrected" for one issue with a Blackest Night label. A black ring reanimates Osiris (as well as Sobek, whose murder of Osiris was one of the most shocking events in the "52" weekly series) but due to the magic that gave him, well, the powers of Shazam, he's able to resist the ring's evil influence. Once again it really has nothing to do with the Blackest Night storyline, but at least it gives Osiris a happier ending this time.
Simpsons Comics 162: Mayor Quimby's mandatory "Take Your Parent To Work Day" leads to Grampa Simpson marrying Mr. Burns' mother, making Homer and Monty step-brothers, and to Bart's getting a new substitute teacher, who easily thwarts his pranks.
