Dynamite Entertainment October Bat/Fury solicitations

The solicitations below were posted on Dynamite's website earlier today.
The Black Bat #6
Writer: Brian Buccellato
Art: Ronan Cliquet

Detective Brody is on the move with the suitcase bomb. Will he plant it in the courthouse before The Black Bat finds him? The clock is ticking and all hope rests on the Black Bat's shoulders!

Miss Fury #7
Writer: Rob Williams
Art: Marcio Abreu

Trapped in a past that isn't her own, Miss Fury comes face-to-face with a version of herself who never found love, and it's a bloody, murderous revelation. Is this immoral figure who Marla Drake really is? Or has she grown through time into something better? And when the two Miss Furys cross swords, which one will survive?

Miss Fury Digital #2
Writer: Rob Williams
Art: Fritz Casas

The harrowing conclusion to Miss Fury's race through time! Find out what happens to our hero and her roving gang of Roman soldiers. Can they defeat Harmon, or will they be stuck time-traveling forever?
So what jumps out?

I think I remembered Brian Buccellato stating that he was only on board Black Bat for six issues, but he may have said that his first story was six issues long.  The solicitation does make it sound like the current arc is coming to an end, so I'll be looking forward to the solicitation for #7 with much curiosity.  Edit:  Buccellato confirmed to me on Twitter that his first storyline is actually 12 issues.  What a guy.  :-)

Speaking of departing talent, and for that matter, six issue stories, it seems Jack Herbert may be off Miss Fury.  Or perhaps Marcio Abreu is only filling in temporarily.  If not, what can we expect?  Here's a sketch that he recently posted on deviantart.


And Miss Fury Digital.  This one has been peculiar.  The first issue was actually solicited for August, yet there it is on Comixology at least two weeks early.  One would have assumed that the second issue would have been available in September then, but it's in the October solicitations.  And now, it's a 3-parter, apparently.

Peculiar, and unnecessarily confusing, but whatever.  More Miss Fury, for all of a buck, is a good thing.  Perhaps Dynamite is testing the waters with this digital-only stuff.
