JLA Solicitations for April 2012

I know it’s a bit odd posting up solicitations for issues that have already shipped, but I want to try to get a complete sequence of these things. The eight issues of the New 52 don’t hold many surprises, there is a crossover and two guest-stars, so we’re now into business as normal for DC’s new Earth. Meanwhile Young Justice delves into the situation on Atlantis and Batman Beyond Unlimited (DC’s digital first anthology) adds the “Superman Beyond” to their feature roster.
