DC November Solicitations

There's only really the Batman line that interests me from DC at the moment.

Though Sinestro Corps War was brilliant, Blackest Night just doesn't appeal to me at all.

Characters I've either never heard of or only vaguely know coming back as basically zombies, a big bad reveal to which my only response is "Who?!?" and the sidelining of the War of Light, which I am interested in as a continuation of the Sinestro Corps War, in favour of "DC Zombies! From Space!" makes me glad I decided against getting all caught up in it.

So, Batman and Robin #6 (Morrison/Tan) will be a must, I've really enjoyed the new partnership between Dick and Damian so far and though Frank Quitely won't be on art for this second arc, Philip Tan's covers have looked good.

Detective Comics #859 (Rucka/Williams/Hamner) is also a definite purchase, I'm very interested in seeing the origin of Batwoman explored, the Question backup has also been good so far, and the art on both parts will of course be amazing.

The other Batman title I have picked up since the June relaunch is Batman: Streets of Gotham. #6 (Yost/Nguyen and Andreyko/Haun) is not likely to remain on my pull list. I've come to the probable conclusion that I'll drop the book with #5, as this arc has a guest writer, guest stars (though I am interested in the Huntress) and I imagine Paul Dini's initial storylines (especially Hush impersonating Bruce Wayne) will be finished by then. I'm not really all that invested in the Manhunter backup, so #5 seems like a good place to drop the series.

The main reason is that in November, and October less so, Marvel have a shedload of new books/story arcs that I'm interested in, and I'm already getting two Bat-books, so Streets of Gotham is up for the chop to make a bit of room.
