A few notes:
*Did anybody ask for SHOWCASE PRESENTS THE WAR THAT TIME FORGOT? On the other hand, THE FLASH!!!
*I totally love that 52 cover with the stencil.
*Grant Morrison alert: "we learn what really happened to Batman inside the cave in Nanda Parbat when he underwent a seven-day Buddhist isolation ritual to purge his negative karma."
*Neither of Morrison's WildStorm books on the schedule.
*Alan Moore's random WildStorm stuff is being collected into a single volume, though.
*It's almost a year after One Year Later, and they're still trying to wrap up the OYL continuity crises.
*THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES IN THE THIRTY-FIRST AND A HALF CENTURY is going to be DC's Free Comic Book Day book, it looks like.
*Neither Superman nor Action Comics solicited this month. Wonder Woman? Biweekly.

I'm well up for this, actually! It sounds very "2000 A.D." Is it as lame as "Haunted Tank"? (the only Showcase so far that I haven't managed to get even a few hundred pages in.)

Yep, that's sure what he's doing in this collection of shitty comics from 12 years ago.
This volume features some of Constantine’s earliest adventures by writer Jamie Delano, including his first victory in the long war with the demon Nergal and an encounter with a strange woman who is the embodiment of the world’s horrors, painted by V FOR VENDETTA co-creator David Lloyd
Isn't part of the whole point of The Horrorist that Constantine's been around so long and through so much shit that he's all jaded and cold and dead inside?
THE OTHER SIDE TPA new volume collecting the hard-hitting, acclaimed miniseries
acclaimed? has anyone even heard of this before?
THE SANDMAN ABSOLUTE STATUE
It's absolutely a statue, and not a toilet brush or native fern. AB-SO-LUTELY.

It probably has the Majestic one-shot, so it'll be at least partly awesome.

Fantagraphics Books is proud to showcase Miss Lasko-Gross in her graphic-novel debut.
Seems reasonable!
The Grave Robber's Daughter is another deliciously scary thrill ride from the author of the critically acclaimed horror graphic novel The Chuckling Whatsit (“A masterpiece!” – Rue Morgue Magazine)
Supporting citations!
The Art of Playboy’s Eldon Dedini is the first retrospective collection of his work and gathers in one volume the most sophisticated, elegant – and funny – gag panels of the past six decades.
Totally misplaced pronoun! If you do substitute 'his', then only 'funny' remains hyperbolic, cos I think the ones in the Playboy best-of were cream of the crop.
