Joining Steph in laughing at the spoilyness, though it's not as if I hadn't been expecting it for over a year.
Also? The new Bill Willingham Spectre-themed miniseries looks like crap. Quelle surprise...
Who died and made you Elvis?

Looking at my pull list for this week, the top entries appear to be:
Teen Titans #22 - More Dr. Light/Identity Crisis goodness.
Ex Machina #9
Ultimates #4 - I actually have no idea where the story is headed after the Hulk storyline, so I'm interested.
Birds of Prey #80 - Maybe Benes will cut down on the cheesecake this issue, but the characters are fascinating.

I know -- DC hasn't exactly been subtle with the hints. It's basically along the lines of bringing Hal Jordan back.
I was reading the forums at DC.com last night, and the theories about the upcoming Crisis fall into 2 categories: (1) totally crack-addled and (2) verrrrry interesting. Sometimes the 2 overlap.
What I'm mostly intrigued by is: (1) the identity of Red Hood -- theories include: Jason Todd, Jack Drake, Nightwing, Jean-Paul Valley, and Ra's; and (2) who Batman is holding on the cover of the one-shot DC Countdown.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I really hope that Red Hood isn't Jason Todd, and have convinced myself that Bats isn't holding anyone in his family on that cover.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I know the three big rumors on the body, but have no proof on any of them, and they all sound like guesses.

My favorite crack-headed guess was Lois Lane. Because, yeah, that really looks like a woman. Pft.

Art Crawl!!!
Teen Titans question:
Are the new Hawk & Dove the daughters of the old Hawk & Dove?
Fun issue -- I think I need to get that second TT collection.

I've been cruising through DC's solicits for May and June over at Comics Continuum, and (1) it's so MASSIVELY spoily on one title that all I could do was laugh
THis is how out of touch I am with comics -- I couldn't even guess which one was the spoilery title you're speaking of.

Sean, I'm not out of touch, and I didn't even realize which one she was talking about until later in the thread.
Of course, that could be because it's been so obvious that I can't count it as a spoiler in my head. If you (the generic DC reading you) didn't see THAT one coming, I suspect coma.

Well, yeah. But the title just makes me laugh. I guess there's no subtle way to do it, though. (Unless they slid it into the end of an existing title....)
New artists on the Robin title, but I still don't intend to read it.
Oh! And I have a question about Batfic: what's with the sex pollen? Is that actually canon?
