April looks to be a pretty neutral month in the solicits. Not much new that caught the eye, just a lot of things that I figure I'll be buying going into the month, and I'll continue to do so in April. I did notice Marvel seems to be double-shipping some of their X-books. I hope they're not going to get back in the habit of doing that.
What's new? Marvel gets their turn at the Spider-Man/Superman crossover. Setting aside the cost being prohibitive to my cheap ass, the list of creators was not encouraging. Geoff Johns? Bendis? Brad goddamn Meltzer?! Fuck outta here.
The other thing I noticed was from Abrams Comics Art, Soviet Land by Pierre-Henry Gomant. Set after the fall of the USSR, but following a character who gathers things, remnants of the state, that other people might pay money for. I assume as curios, and that we're not talking about codes to nukes, but who knows.
What's ending? So far as I can tell, nothing I'm buying is wrapping up in April.
And the rest: Batgirl has Cassandra still dealing with her strange new powers, Fantastic Four is going to wrap up this "Invincible Woman" arc. You know, I've seen the first issue and still have no idea what that's supposed to be. Nova: Centurion, there's an odd comment in the solicit about Rich 'skipping town whenever it all comes down.' Not sure what that's about.
Babs and Spirit of the Shadows are on issue 4, so nearing conclusions for both. It's a May release, but the 4th and apparently final issue of Touched by a Demon was solicited this last week as well. In the question of Is Ted OK?, issue 3 would suggest he is not. D'Orc has the lead being pursued by some dwarf looking to erase him from existence. Not just kill him, erase him entirely. This feels like it's going to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. All these people try to kill D'Orc because he's going to do bad stuff, and that makes the bad stuff happen.
Marc Spector #3 suggests Moon Knight's going off the deep end. What, again? Everyone hold tight to your faces! Generation X-23 makes it look like things are going bad for Laura, while Moonstar is trying to stop a god(?) from removing the pain of existence from everybody. By killing them.
Hey, catch me on the right day, I might not object to that plan. . .

Bendis and Johns on the same comic? That's a recipe for me avoiding it like the plague.
