Funny, one of the featured articles at MSN today is titled "Can a Man Become a Magnet?" (based on being electrocuted)

I was really amped since it seemed the Villains volume was starting on the graphic novel but this story killed the momentum a little.

The strike screwed everything up. Volume 3 won't start until September now. They aren't going to run 6 months of GNs that lead into Volume 3. That's TOO much. They aren't going to give away THAT much of the storylines. I would expect fluff, one-time characters and backstory GNs until at least July.
