BATMAN / SUPERMAN #2
July 25, 2013 7:44 pm I've noticed a genuine reticence in 'the community' to voice objection, when it comes to price-point.
Well, as good as this issue may be, 20pp for $3.99 is beyond the pale. Especially when it comes down to 'the big two', wiry their advantage of economy of scale, that smaller publishers can never match.
I'll sit back & buy it on ebay for about a dollar in six months' time.

WONDER WOMAN #22
July 18, 2013 12:28 pm Nearly two years in, this title has proven to be consistently the best of the 'New 52' including subsequent phases.
I suspect that Brian Azzarello's ability to keep DC Editorial at bay has an awful lot to do with this success.

New Comics for 07.17.2013 would keep it where it is
July 15, 2013 2:22 pm Red Sonja #1, LSH #22 & Wonder Woman #22.
Have dropped JLA #6 onwards as I'm opting out of the overpriced, under-paginated 'Trinity War'.
BQ : Being selfish I'd say London (UK), but quite frankly San Diego deserve to hold onto it

New Comics for 07.10.2013 Has an Achilles Heel
July 9, 2013 11:16 am Perhaps odd choices at a glance, I have my own rationale; Dropped Justice League as I'm not happy with the price-point jump (see JLD), so opting out of Trinity War. The prospect of more tie-ins with Scott Snyder's Batman has put me off Batgirl. The backdrop to this is that I've dropped a swathe of DC titles over the past couple of months as overall, I'm dissatisfied with DC's editorial 'direction'. Although 'WF' is not great, it benefits from being Earth 2/JSA related. That particular 'legacy' is my comic book heroin.
