More Offers Being Made (Or Not) by Apex Lex in DC's Year of The Villain, Today (Spoilers)

If you are reading all the Year Of The Villain: The Offer issues then you may not just want to read today's Justice League one first as it comes before all the others – and the ones last week and the week before that too. While the Justice League Odyssey one from last week still comes after all of them.

My head hurts. So, again. almost all of these titles see Luther's drones whizzing around, often with the first panel having a drone 'looking' right at camera hovering above an urban landscape. Or in Aquaman, going for a dip. And the final page, a hologram of Luthor, with his new Apex Lex look, making an offer to an individual, mostly villains, but not all. Ohh and frustratingly, just as last week, few details of that offer, in most cases. And Harley Quinn's prediction from two weeks ago. ringing true…

So we begin with Justice League #28. Just another part of what we're calling Monster Wednesday here at Bleeding Cool. Apex Lex gloating with Martian Manhunter about his plans to make all these Offers.

As well as the discovery that Lionel Luther was planning an invasion of Mars using the kind of flying saucer ships that, classically, Mars are meant to invade Earth in.

Schrodinger's Flying Saucers? Yeah, they'll come in handy at some point, right?

Aquaman #50 has a longer, more involved deal with the drone, finding its way to Black Manta. And an 'ends' offered to Black Manta by Luthor. But the means are still a mytsery.

Nightwing #62 sees Talon given the offer. We haven't seen a lot of former Court Of The Owls assassin Talon of late, maybe we will do now?

Again, 'Richard Grayson' as the ends – albeit it through mysterious means.

Teen Titans #32 shows us that Crush certainly has daddy issues when it comes to Lobo, and she is far stronger beside her teammates. Still doesn't stop Luthor coming over to make his offer…

But it's Batman #75, the comic that didn't need to crossover so heavily, if at all, with The Offer, we get a very strong meeting of minds between Luthor and Bane. With all the justification for Bane taking over Gotham as needs be. He does what Batman never could, keeping it in order. There's only one thing he needs…

Official sanction. A systematic approval from the highest echelons that Bane can get on with doing what he's doing. And he gets it…

Bane beats Luthor? That's the intimation here… Check out more of Monster Wednesday here, and vcatch the solicits of the above, below…
