Mr Terrific #1 in September

Hello DC.

Here's the solicit for September's Mr Terrific #1

"The world’s third-smartest man – and one of its most eligible bachelors – uses his brains and fists against science gone mad in MISTER TERRIFIC #1, the new series from writer Eric Wallace and artist Roger Robinson. The cover to issue #1 is by J.G. Jones."

Things not to do when introducing Mr Terrific to the world:

1. Don't give him a one piece bathing suit from the 1920s even if it is futuristic looking. His first costume was fine and bad ass.
2. Don't have him pose in a non-heroic and awkward ... pose. I can't tell if he's in mid-movement. No self-respecting decathlete and multiple PhD-holding millionaire would pose like that.
3. Stop rubbing it in that he's the third smartest man. It's kinda degrading in it's own way. Like placing fourth in the Olympics. There are readers (probably just me) who think he is as smart as Bruce Wayne (who happens to be the World's smartest man) if not smarter.
4. I cant think of a fourth right now.

In any case, please let this be a good first issue and I hope it leads to an ongoing series. Mr Terrific is an amazing and complex character who has made his mark in the DC Universe and has been one of my favorites since I first read the guy in the previous JSA series.
