    The good news is, if I buy into Static Shock now, I won't have to pay for it every month for very long. Also, I'm interested in seeing Talia take center stage as a opponent for Batman in the new Batman Inc series. And by the way, where is her father, Ra's?

    Yeah, I'm really ambivalent about the Huntress swap, too. I love both versions of the character and while I'm thrilled to have Wayne back, I will still miss Bertinelli. But I think that's tempered by the fact that, like you said, the Helena Wayne Huntress seems to be written pretty similar to the Bertinelli version.

    If this turns out to be Raven I'm dropping this and any other related book. DC the NEW 52 seems to be making all the mistakes of those awful 90's team titles and I can't stand the costumes.

    I hope it isn't, but I wouldn't bet on it. The way the torso ia drawn is reasonably masculine.

    I also can't stand Maxima's new look in Supergirl.

    It's the red dude.

    One of them is also supposed to be Terra - I'm guessing the brunette in the middle - which confirms that the awesome version of Terra that was appearing in Power Girl is gone.

    There's no reason this Terra won't be awesome. But I'm gonna miss Atlee :cry

    Is there some purpose to all those light-up bits on virtually everyone's costume in that picture? Or is "random glowing lines" the new "pouches"?

    So everyone else is in jumpsuits and yet you have Fairchild in a tanktop and bikini bottoms. Isn't it kind of crazy that in this day and age, DC manages to get Fairchild to wear less than she did during her Image/Wildstorm days?

    No it's amazing they have manged to take her simple origin and make it convoluted along with many other teen character I used to care about. Looks like I will be dropping several 52 titles soon.

    Going to pick up GI Combat, Earth-2 and Batman Inc. plus I'll give Ravagers at least a shot.

    Bring on the 2nd wave!

    What's her origin now? Didn't even bother to pick up Superboy. That said, I wonder why they did away with the "they're the kids of genetically enhanced soldiers" origin. That was kind of easy to tell, and didn't really need any substantial revision.

    We don't know her full origin, but it is already complex and she can now pull a She hulk and change back and forth from strong to weak forms. But she start out as one of Superboy's Doctors and guardians and when he finally gets pissed reveals she has super powers and gets captured.

    I'll second that notion. If it's Raven I shall be much pissed. She's my favorite DC character after the Trinity.
