Did you happen to notice the term ‘Justice League’ was trending this week?
According to DC, nine of the ten members of the Justice League will ‘die’ (if we could make those air quotes we would) in April’s Justice League #75.
We’ve got lots of thoughts on where that’s headed (We mourn their loss and ask who can replace the team? Can Lex Luthor replace Batman? And are they even really dead?) but until now we’ll just take DC at its word and look at what else it has going on in April 2022.
There’s the return of the Flashpoint reality in a new series co-written by Geoff Johns that puts Flashpoint Batman – who avenges the death of his son Bruce Wayne – in the driver’s seat of a return to the reality we all thought vanished with the ‘New 52.’
Then pre-dying-in-Justice-League Bruce Wayne-Batman continues his ‘Shadow War’ crossover with Robin and Deathstroke Inc. and returns as the solo star of the again-monthly Detective Comics.
Pretty good for a dead guy.
And speaking of the return of a Batman, April’s third will be the return of Terry McGinnis in Batman Beyond: Neo-Year, a new limited series about Terry’s career after … wait for it … the death of Bruce Wayne.
Man, that guy dies a lot.
Back in main DC continuity, if Bruce really is dead it might help that Gotham City has a brand new Birds of Prey team and that the Joker’s current ongoing series is ending (but maybe not forever).
Whew, there’s more of course, which you all can see for yourselves in all its monthly glory.

The Flash’s world has changed, and the whole DC Universe with it. Even the Fastest Man Alive can run out of time, and if there is to be anything left of the past, present, or future, Barry Allen must learn the secret of…FLASHPOINT!
Barry Allen awoke in a world he barely recognizes, but it isn’t a trick or a parallel Earth. Something or someone has altered time, replacing Barry’s world with a new one. And this new world is not a safe place.
The planet is on the brink of destruction as Wonder Woman and the Amazons wage war with Aquaman and the Atlanteans. A motley group of heroes is mounting a resistance, but in this world, heroes are hard to come by. No one has ever heard of the Flash, or the Justice League, or even Superman. Hal Jordan was never given a Green Lantern ring, and Bruce Wayne was killed in Crime Alley when he was just a little boy.
Without his powers or his friends to aid him, Barry reaches out to a new Batman to put the world right. If they fail, they’ll never escape the twisted world of…FLASHPOINT!
Collecting the five-issue Flashpoint miniseries along with the prelude story from The Flash #8-12 and all 56 tie-in issues, Flashpoint: The 10th Anniversary Omnibus features a rogues gallery of comics talent including Geoff Johns, Andy Kubert, Brian Azzarello, Eduardo Risso, Scott Snyder, Jeff Lemire, Gene Ha, Dan Jurgens, and more.

Sometimes, nightmares walk the Earth. Every night when you sleep, the Lord of Dreams chooses the path you’ll follow…into a sylvan Elysium, or down the hallways of your darkest fears. And sometimes, if it is Dream’s will, those nightmares escape those halls, and go out into the world. But it is not a choice he makes lightly.
Today the Corinthian walks the Earth again. The most feared of all Dream’s nightmares, his ravenous mouths have made him a legend among serial killers. Letting the Corinthian out among mortals is the most dangerous thing Dream could possibly do. But he has no choice—because there is another nightmare walking the Earth, one that must be hunted…and this monster is one that Dream, lord of all nightmares, did not make.
Horror-comics superstar James Tynion IV has waited his whole career to pay tribute to the mythos of The Sandman, the work that made him the writer he is today—and that time has come! Designed to welcome new readers into one of the greatest worlds in DC’s library, The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country is a terrifying travelogue through a nation recognizable and obscene, which will show you things seen in no Sandman series ever before—with spectacular art by Lisandro Estherren (Redneck, Strange Skies Over East Berlin) and “nightmare” sequences by comics art all-stars, starting with the incredible Yanick Paquette!

In 1993, writer Rachel Pollack took over Doom Patrol from Grant Morrison and quickly made the title her own—retaining its offbeat spirit while pushing its characters in new directions and tackling important social issues in the Doom Patrol’s thoroughly unconventional way. This first-ever collection of Pollack’s run collects Doom Patrol #64-87, Doom Patrol Annual #2, and a story from Vertigo Jam #1.
