Infinite Implications

DC's solicitations for February hit Monday at 5pm, but some sneaky internet folks got a sneak peek at them. Of course, Infinite Crisis continues to impact the entire DCU. First, let's look at the solicitation and Perez cover for Infinite Crisis #5 (of 7):


IC #5 solicit info: "The DCU shakes apart as Superman of Earth 2 finally confronts our Superman. Meanwhile, heroes are disappearing throughout the DC Universe, a transformed villain returns, and the mystics of every world and dimension seek help from the very Spirit that is destroying them."
Here's some other intriguing info from the February solicitations, mostly tying into Infinite Crisis in some way:
  • Gotham Central, Gotham Knights and WONDER WOMAN(?!) cancelled after Feb. issues.
  • No issue of Flash
  • Superman books: 3-part history of Earth-2 Superman through Crisis on Infinite Earths
  • Supergirl solicit: "There can only be one true Supergirl, and there's only one person who can help Kara win that title: Superman! They've thrown down before, but now Superman has to stop Supergirl, even if it means the most unexpected death of all! Don't miss this special issue guest-starring Batman and Wonder Woman!"
  • Infinite Crisis Secret Files: "Don't miss this important side chapter of the INFINITE CRISIS saga! Superman of Earth-2, his wife, Lois Lane of Earth-2, Alex Luthor of Earth-3 and Superboy from Earth Prime: the last survivors of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS. What happened to them after CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS is finally revealed here for the first time by one of the masterminds behind that landmark event: writer Marv Wolfman! Learn what these heroes have been doing, how they have changed, and how their reappearance will force the DCU's heroes to reexamine themselves."
  • JSA solicit: "Legendary JSA writer Paul Levitz makes his stellar return to the DCU with superstar artist George Perez for an important chapter of INFINITE CRISIS in a story featuring the members of original JSA: Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman!"
  • Legion of Superheroes solicit references the team being the "greatest heroes of the multiverse."

Hmmmm.....
