Apparently DC is sending retailers a bunch of Blackest Night rings to give away this week when the first issue of Blackest Night hits the stands. These look super sweet, but you’re going to have to contact your LCS to see if they will have any, as this was an incentive promotion, and from what I’ve gathered from other source, it was also not free for retailers.

If you read the Major Spoilers Annual Report, you may have noticed I said the Major Spoilers Family was growing.
More on this development later.
DC teases us this morning with only a small portion of the cover to Booster Gold #23. Who would have thought Booster Gold would have a fan club and that he would have a number one fan. DC promises to share more of the cover image as the issue release date approaches.
Wedding bells are ringing for a romantic couple in Spider-Man #600. At least, that’s what it looks like in the publicity piece from Marvel. Watson and Parker? What do the Major Spoiler Legion think of this?

But will his acting be good enough to earn him a Daytime Emmy?
It’s the latest in Marvel’s no-info campaigns attempting to get you excited about changes in the status quo.

Cassandra Cain suit, but it doesn’t look like Cassandra Cain in the suit – at least not from that pose and smirk on the face.
Batgirl #1 arrives in August.
