Well, some of the others that caught my eye anyway 
First off, Rann-Thanagar Holy War #6. Its back!!!! Going from the cover, Adam Strange has his Planet Heist kit back. Yay 
JSA #20 features the New Earth JSA and the Earth-2 JSA with Power Girl torn between the two. I’m really looking forward to this storyline, as is probably most of DC fandom. But I’m still really intrigued to see how this Earth-2 JSA is going to be approached. As I’ve mentioned before, the Earth-2 JSA shouldn’t be the Golden Age JSA, so I’m wondering how they’re going to reconcile this. Earth-2 in 52 was shown to have some kind of link to events on new Earth (both Kryptonians missing), but it also showed differences to the classic Earth-2 we see here. Of course, there was obviously something going on with Earth-2 during Infinite Crisis (it was the only unpopulated world, E-2 Lois and E-2 Wonder Woman seemed to hint at being drawn somewhere – in the trade at least), so I wonder if this story arc will start to address that.
Booster Gold has a new writer in October in the form of Rick Remender. I’ve not read any of his other stuff (off the top of my head), but I love the sound of this arc, with Daniel unwittingly being possessed by Starro. It sounds like the kind of light-hearted adventure that suits this series down to the ground.
The Tangent Comics crossover is another mini I’m really loving (although it has been pointed out that the JLA really didn’t come out of the last issue looking that great. Powergirl versus Powergirl should be an entertaining matchup and I’m really intrigued to see where this series takes the Tangent Universe. I’ve been really enjoying the trades they’ve been releasing and re-casting Superman as the villain makes a lot of sense for the character.
Finally, the Superman titles explore the fallout of the Brainiac story, with 100,000 Kryptonians living on Earth. Sounds like a really interesting story setup. I guess I’ll be picking up the titles for a little while after the Brainiac arc ends. It certainly gives them a lot of scope to really dig into where Clark sits in between both cultures. Supergirl’s part in the story should be incredibly interesting, as I imagine she’s going to be really pleased to be around Kryptonians again (especially since this iteration of the character has really struggled to find her feet on Earth).
Yup. October’s going to be an expensive month for this DC fan.
