Below are what I felt to be the most eye-catching DC solicits for April. First, the star-studded weekly Batman: Eternal kicks off with a beautiful cover by Jason Fabok to christen its maiden voyage. Tony Daniel takes the month off in Superman/ Wonder Woman #7 to allegedly get lead-in time for #8. There are rumors that he's off the book, but he assures he's still on it. "Batman and..." becomes Batman and Wonder Woman with issue 30 and we finally get some Green Lantern in Smallville!

The Green Lantern ring for space sector 2813 was inactive for years after Krypton’s end, until the creation of the Argo colony recalled it to service. As none of Zod’s followers are suitable candidates, the ring’s search brings it to the nearest Kryptonian it can recruit! SMALLVILLE SEASON 11 continues in “Lantern” part 1 of 4!
