The title formerly known as Batman and Robin has been retitled a bit lately, usually to showcase a relevant character pertaining to that particular issue. The new story arc kicking off in Batman and Aquaman #29 caught my eye. Below you can find solicits for this and others that I feel are noteworthy, like the final issue of Batman: The Dark Knight #29 (which I reported the cancellation of yesterday), Red Lanterns #29 featuring Supergirl in her new status quo for the time being, and juggernauts like Forever Evil #7 and Superman/ Wonder Woman #6. I decided to include Smallville: Alien #4, not only because it's a great title, but because it has possibly my favorite cover for the month of March. If you loved Final Crisis and couldn't afford the Absolute Edition, then you should check out the new trade paperback that includes the seven new pages and sells for just $19.99.
