Happy new year!

A new year cometh. DC this afternoon posted its solicitations for January.

So what’s there to look forward to in 2007? “Superman & Batman vs. Aliens & Predators” No. 1, co-published with Dark Horse Comics, promises a lot of alien mayhem. There’s an “Action Comics Annual,” written by the new “Action” team of Geoff Johns and Richard Donner and featuring a wealth of artists. And the first two parts of the five-part “The Helmet of Fate” miniseries leading up to a new regular “Dr. Fate” series. First up: “The Helmet of Fate: Detective Chimp.” Featuring the world’s greatest simian sleuth!
