There's a lot more stuff besides just that coming out in comic shops as the school year begins, though, so consult a copy of PREVIEWS for yourself. Remember that pre-ordering is your friend, and that you can share your picks for the month at the Pipeline message board.

You have to really love a lot of old-time DC characters to get into this one. Perez's art is impressive, but it's not enough to keep my attention for 12 issues of universe crunching tedium.
