August 31, 2011 8:41 am I haven't read these since they came out. Can't wait to get this into my hands.

November 30, 2010 10:35 am Yeah, this definitely does not feel like a JSA book.  For the life of me I have no idea why I keep getting it.

November 19, 2010 10:30 am Gene Ha is the first artist that doesn't make that new costume look like a full-body adult diaper.

November 8, 2010 3:20 pm Please don't suck.

September 29, 2010 3:21 pm Yeah- that is WAY too pricy.  They are seriously milking the demand.  I'm sure that a paperback will follow at some point.

Not at all understanding the shock here.  How is a $20 hardcover sitting next to 15 oither Superman harcovers and trades on a shelf in the back of a Barnes & Noble a huge step forward?  Anybody who isn't getting this from their LCS or from an online order doesn't care if its an "original" story and the creator's names mean nothing to those readers.

The only way this was going to make a retail splash outside of existing readers is if it got shelved somewhere outside of the comic section and got a huge push from the chains.

August 9, 2010 4:19 pm I'm sure that they aren't doing this randomly.  They probably got a very lukewarm response from the book chains.  I don't know about everywhere else, but the trade section of my local B&N has been steadily shrinking the last year or so and carrying fewer new releases in favor of evergreens like Watchmen and Scott Pilgrim.

August 3, 2010 11:32 am Kind of hoping this book goes away after the new team takes over the main book.  I love the JSA but it seems really watered down and off-track here.

August 2, 2010 1:18 pm I was thinking the same thing about NYCC.  I hit San Diego several times between '92 and 2000, but don't have much interest in what it seems to be like now.  NY is probably 80% comics, but still large and varied enough to feel like a "big" con.
