I can't believe DC Comics with the help of The New York Times spoiled the ending for Batman #50. The only reason it's on my list is because I was already going to get it. I feel like DC Comics needs new management because they continue to make stupid decisions and not just with the Batman #50 spoiler. They purposefully marketed and promoted the Batman/Catwoman wedding but knew ahead of time that was not going to actually happen. Regardless of the spoiler that was released, DC Comics was planning on intentionally disappointing fans with the outcome of this issue.
I'm also tired of DC Comics okaying stories that continue to misuse and abuse Lois Lane. I have heard and seen nothing but negative comments about The Man of Steel miniseries and how Brian Michael Bendis not only went out of his way to exclude Lois from most of the story but also used her and her son Jon as a terrible plot device with them being missing. And during the minuscule time she was used, Lois was written out of character. Hiring Bendis to not only write this miniseries but to write all of the Superman books was another bad decision DC Comics made. They need to hire new writers instead of hiring the same old writers that keep being recycled throughout the industry.
Okay, rant over, I do have a few new books on my list: Captain America #1, Catwoman #1 and Marvel Rising: Squirrel Girl & Ms. Marvel.
