Elsewhere in DC Comics, 32 titles carried the July or July/August cover date. These issues were covered in Episode 162, which also featured the first Brainiac story in ACTION COMICS 242. If you would like to explore the other DC titles which were published this month, click here, for the corresponding page at the MIKE'S AMAZING WORLD OF DC COMICS website.
I also discuss DC's and Marvel's habit of spoiling major plot points of their titles just before their release to garner publicity, as well as the Halloween ComicFest, which my local comic book shop, Acme Comics, participated in this past Saturday.
