Martian Sightings for January, 2012



STORMWATCH #5
Written by PAUL CORNELL
Art and cover by MIGUEL SEPULVEDA
1:25 Variant cover by MIGUEL SEPULVEDA
On sale JANUARY 4
32 pg, FC, $2.99 US
RATED T+

Retailers: This issue will ship with two covers. The variant cover will feature the standard edition cover in a wraparound format.

It’s the unstoppable murder machine vs. the Eminence of Blades when the Midnighter takes on Prince of Lies, Harry Tanner! As Adam One stands trial before the shadow cabinet, Stormwatch loses two members, and the mystery horn from SUPERMAN #1 reappears to deliver a final page that will change Stormwatch forever!
You may not know this, but I run an Atom-themed blog that gets a tiny fraction of the hits I do here. Between an O.M.A.C. crossover, that Online Legends book you forgot was still being published and Captain Atom material, things were hopping in my solicitation round-up over there. Here? J'Onn J'Onzz may be in his team book. What the hell went so wrong here? If not for all-ages material with Miss Martian, this month could have been a total bust.

Miss Martian
YOUNG JUSTICE #12
Written by GREG WEISMAN and KEVIN HOPPS
Art and cover by CHRISTOPHER JONES
On sale JANUARY 18
32 pg, FC, $2.99 US
RATED E

There’s a new menace in Gotham City: a creature so strange – and so versatile – that not even the combined might of the entire Young Justice team can stand against it. Witness the origin of...Clayface!
Check the third arm. Reasonably subtle. Well played.

TINY TITANS #48
Written by ART BALTAZAR and FRANCO
Art and cover by ART BALTAZAR
On sale JANUARY 18
32 pg, FC, $2.99 US
RATED E
Because you demanded it – Tiny Titans unmasked in a special all red hair issue! Barbara! Miss Martian! Starfire! Blackfire! And Speedy! Actually, Speedy’s hair is more of an auburn. Also, what’s Wonder Girl’s secret? What is she doing with all that fruit? A discovery is made when she reveals her secret oranges!

I hope that we will see more of J'Onn in his team book. As things stand, I get a feeling that Cornell is doing more with the Wildstorm characters and his own creations. Perhaps we can see a Martian centric story arc soon.

You don't wanna' miss that, kids!

Honestly Teen Titans appeals to me more than anything else DC is offering. It's the one ray of sunshine in the DCU.
