I like Metallo's design here
Also, have to wonder how Henshaw gets CYBORGED again

He always was.

What? He was clearly human in recent issues of Action and Supergirl

I like that trope (?) where villains who are a match for the hero individually team up, but function weaker as a team

Except post reborn history is changed. Jon was born on earth for example.

You are right, but I guess they wouldn't introduce a clearly human Henshaw one or two issue prior to Reborn, only to undo it
But we'll see

He'll just have been in disguise or something

>no Riot

Booo.

Is Blanque supposed to be post Flashpoint Manchester Black?

Im hoping that Jon, Bizarro, and Krypto end up as reinforcements

>no women
NOT MUH SUPERMAN REVENGE SQUAD

They released the previews for July solicitations? Does this means we are getting them on Monday?

No.

But any old pre flashpoint story you can fit....can exist.

Manchester is out there somewhere.

Black is obviously the villain in the current arc of superman, black dawn

Saw on a website for some previews that they're scheduled for April 17th. That solicit was for May at any rate.

Blaque? Really? Not Phantom King? Jurgen making up generic shit villains.

phantom king is in supergirl

>Forgetting about Lex

>No Prime

Just wait your time, mah boi.

New 52 Manchester works at STAR Labs

Is that pre-flashpoint Henshaw?

>Eradicator as a villain again
No, I don't like it.

Yep.

Nope, you can't assume issues are not taking place at dissimilar times. The Trial of Lex Luthor was going on with Superdad and Lex off in another part of the galaxy while all that other nonsense with Lex's sister was taking place in Superwoman.

One of the worse things about the New 52 was the rethread of stories (especially when it was excessively done - as with DOOMED having to consume so much of Clark's books plus also other books) and it really was just variations on older stuff.

A Superman Revenge Squad existed in the Silver Age, Morrison already did this with a few random pages over about six issues and it went well. We really don't need 4 to 6 issues of this, especially written by Jurgen's, especially since we just had AN eradicator in Son of Superman just a few months ago.

I'll read the story times, but NOT hyped at all. I'd like to see some NEW stories with some interesting use of old characters and some new ones.

We don't need Jurgens shitting up Action Comics at all, but that's the hand we've been dealt.

I haven't even bothered with storytimes. He's genuinely not worth pirating.

Who's the dude in the white robes?

Blanque is great though.

>Again
Where the fuck have you been?Blanque, Jurgens OC. He's ok, sociopathic telepath who liked to murder people for artistic purposes. Hates Supes because Supes threw him in his private Guantanamo Prison. I kinda like him.

He was fine for what he did in Reborn, where it crossed over with SUPERMAN. The art on a lot of them can be nice.

Once they got past the Path of Doom BS it wasn't that bad. They should give Arron K a chance to write two four-parters on Action, while Jurgen's works on a comedy mini like he did for Batmite.

Aw man, I liked the new Eradicator design

What the Fuck does Ultraman have to do with this?

I love that they're keeping with the Reign of Superman theme by having those villains get together for the Rebirth return of Superman.

Ultraman is always pissed at Superman for something.
