The July solicitation previews for DC are up and it looks like Action Comics and Superman are featuring fill-ins again. Wasn't the second half of Last Son supposed to be 851-853 of Action Comics and Camelot Falls part 2 652-666 of Superman? Judging by the "1 of 3" in the solicitations I would guess that would mean August's books will also be fill-ins. Are Kubert and Pacheco really that slow, or are people really clamoring for a 4-part Jimmy Olsen story?

I know DC is worried about their dwindling numbers, but unnecessary crossover tieins are not the way to go. That's what killed the last big Superman relaunch (the Loeb/Kelly era).

On a more positive note, Green Arrow Year One and The Programme both look pretty good. The latter title seems more suited for Milligan than his more recent super-hero stuff like X-Men. I'll probably check it out.
