March Comics

Newsarama has the new Marvel and DC solicitations for March.

This is the stuff I'm thinking about in addition to my regular pull list.

Not sure what's happening with the New Krypton story but I guess to find out I'm buying this.

It's not painted like other Hughes posters which gives me pause but I'm considering it.
