I love Superboy-Prime so goddamn much. That and I like that Earth-Prime is back now, seeing as post-Crisis canonically speaking, our entire universe had been destroyed by a DC editorial decision. 

@robbydzwonar While admittedly he has little to do with the reprints program, Dan Didio has said numerous times that he sees his job as getting people to go to their comic book store every Wednesday. But if that's "some big scam", I'll take the bridge he's selling me.

August 10, 2009 7:19 pm Because that would cut into sales of the Absolute that's three times the price?

July 23, 2009 3:30 pm I almost had to make this my pick for the Monitor/Anti-Monitor pee joke alone.

July 8, 2009 6:10 pm So apparently the entire city of Toronto got short shipped and everybody (or at least the three stores I went to) sold out this morning. I usually buy my comics in the morning. Today I bought them in the afternoon. >:(

June 11, 2009 5:49 pm I bought it for a dollar, but I decided right away that I wouldn't for $2.99 just because I'd rather not pick up yet another series in singles. I'm definitely going to at least look at the first trade when it comes out and I'm hoping they discount it some from the usual price too. That's how I justified starting buying Scalped and while I'm a trade behind on that, it's something that I pick up when I can budget for it.

May 18, 2009 6:46 pm There was a time when I would have picked up every title, but I'm probably going with Batman & Robin and 'Tec with a possibility of Sirens depending on how good the art turns out.

Three per customer? One per customer? What the hell? The two stores I went to were ten per customer and unlimited per customer, the second offering plenty of things that weren't even FCBD books. 

That and the first store was 25% off everything else and the second store was one I don't hit that often, so I wound up spending about as much as I usually do in a month's worth of Wednesdays. Whoops.

November 27, 2008 1:31 am To all the people saying we don't know who Hurt really was, um, Batman's journal pages on the pages after the reveal tell you. You're just not taking it literally enough.

I loved 52 all the way through. There was a couple weeks near the end where I considered dropping Countdown because the rat dog issues were just abysmal, but I made it to the end. But I'm pretty close to dropping this now, which saddens me since I loved the first act so much. I was a fun old school JLA story. All this world without the Trinity stuff is boring as all hell. If they're not back and kicking ass within a couple weeks, I'm out. I can't keep dropping three bucks every week on something I don't like just out of obsessive-compulsiveness.

September 24, 2008 3:42 am TMNT Adventures #3 was my first book that wasn't a hand me down Archie digest. I have an incomplete run up to I think #27, and they're still in my big box under my bed of things I never bothered to bag and board. Maybe I should at least bag that first one for sentimentality's sake. That series was actually pretty half-decent, if a little preachy with all the environmentalism.
