Batman Urban Legends is still proving to be the best Bat-title out because it's actually about characters I care about (although I kinda like Detective Comics). Ryan Wilder finally gets stuff to do in the Batgirls portion of the book, & WildCATs are back. For 3 of their fans (I kid I just like clowning on Wildstorm characters)

Sinister War#1
We learn only one whole month has passed since the events of ASM#29. Peter was going to propose to Mary Jane after her film premiere, but the Sinister and Savage gate-crashing put paid to that. Peter finds out about Mysterio and MJ's partnership, MJ gives Peter a burn about working with reformed villains. Peter is confused as to how Doc Ock is back in his old form, and we're reminded of the former Superior Spider-Man's connections to Mephisto. Mysterio tries to tell Peter and MJ what he knows about their deal with the devil, but Spidey dives back into battling the teams.
Ock offers Mysterio a chance to join him, in return, he asks MJ be surrendered to him. Mysterio takes MJ with him, and Peter is transported to Kindred's lair, where the remainder of the five six member teams are unleashed on him
Meanwhile, Doctor Strange and Mephisto have a discussion about Peter's soul and the deal he made, Strange argues Peter would never bargain with a devil and demands he undo what he has done. Mephisto tells him extreme circumstances necessitated Peter to make the deal and that his hands are tied, but he's not opposed to playing a game of chance, he and Strange approach a table, Mephisto offers Strange a chance to play...pick a colour, red or black, and asks if he's feeling lucky?

Superman and The Authority#1 scans and spoilers from Bleeding Cool bleedingcool.com/comics/superman-and-the-authority-and-a-promise-to-jfk-spoilers/JFK and Clark meet up, Kennedy wants a manned mission to Mars but does not want superhero intervention in 'human ingenuity', Kennedy and Clark talk a bit about an appointment in Dallas (uh oh) and forming a Justice League, which fails and leads to him leading the Authority. |

So Superman & the Authority isn't canon then? That's a relief. Maybe now I can tolerate the book.

It doesn't appear to be, but Johnson has said his run will be following up on things that are explored in the book. I can only presume they'll just adapt things from it and integrate them into the 'proper' canon. For example, we know this same Authority team accompany Clark into space at the start of the new status quo. |

DC October Solicits www.gamesradar.com/dc-solicitations-october-2021/Ha, Taylor already showing there's actual consequences to having a public identity Bendis... Dick and Babs' greatest fears are revealed to one another over in Nightwing..and so their drama continues. Can we just go one year with the two having none of this? |

Damian's got a girlfriend? Sure that'll upset the people that bait him with Jon.
Also Clownhunter back-ups in Batman is fine with me. I've kinda grown on the dude & honestly prefer him in the cast of Gotham's Vigilante gallery than Ghost-Maker or Miracle Molly. Also Huzzah for Azreal return!
Action Comics is laughable. Like don't try to hoist yourself up on par with Death & Return especially if this team-up with the Authority goes bad (still don't like that Superman basically has Manchester here).

Nightwing#82 preview aiptcomics.com/2021/07/16/dc-preview-nightwing-82/Cameos from Batman and the Titans, as Babs called them in to rescue Dick, but he tells her he's fine. His sister tells him to change into something else as she's arranged for him to do something |
