Previews for December 20th

I can honestly say that I pretty much only read what Giga buys these days.

Yeah, there's the occasional "Oh buy that!" comment but it is rare.

This week brings one superhero title that I hope will finally explain a major character change and another that will stab me in the back as most comic writers seem to do to me.

I'm really looking forward to Teen Titans #42 and finally getting some back information on how Kid Devil became a literal fire-breathing demon! Plus Peter Snejbjerg is doing the art and I fell in love with his shit back during the awesomeness that was Starman.

On the opposite side of the spectrum I'm not looking forward to being bent over by Will Pfeifer and pounded really hard up the wazzoo with Selina Kyle's daughter not being fathered by Bruce Wayne over in Catwoman #62.

I didn't ask much from the mediocre Infinite Crisis and "One Year Later" jump but when they announced Selina was going to have a baby girl it meant that one of my all-time favorite characters could possibly some day come back, albeit in a very different form than we had a chance to see her the first time around.

But of course, that would mean actually making a significant development in the life of the old über-asshole and of course we can't have any of that.

Why they bothered to name the baby Helena other than to dick over the fans in hopes that the real Helena Wayne would return just pisses me off.

Now true, DC could actually surprise me and reveal that Bruce is the baby daddy (like he cosmically should be) but no, that's unlikely.

Which pisses me off even more because we have the lame ass apparently legitimate Kingdom Come son now officially canon!

That damn Earth-Prime Superboy better pound some reality walls about this soon!
