Name: Parker Holland

Bio: I live in Texas and once worked in the office of a large comic book store in the area. Through this I learned some of the uglier sides of the comic distribution industry and have come out of the experience still loving comics but in a much different way and for many more reasons.I am currently on a "DnA" kick and am trying to collect all of their work that I can in issues since DC seems to have a "No Trades Allowed" policy when it comes to the majority of their work.

May 13, 2011 6:29 pm I would have more faith this will actually happen if it wasn't for the fact we I think haven't had a company wide crossover since Civil War happen without a main book being delayed.

What about the retailers? Even if all other books are just moved to before and after this date it still screws their cash flow.

And if you pack the rest of the weeks with books that should have been spread out won't people on a budget end up spending less?

@drake if that was meant in as much bad taste as it came off at least ifanboy only changes their site every once in awhile and doesn't have constant and intrusive advertisements unless you pay for the premium service. I like IGN man but glass houses etc. etc. etc.
I will also say even with the site advertisements and ads in DC books I have not noticed any change in the editorial content. I think it was just last week one of the guys talked about how DC was letting them down. Good job having inegrity guys! Much appreciated!
May 12, 2011 6:42 am I'm sorry that may have come off wrong. I by no means meant that Johns was the one forebading new elseworlds stories. What I meant by that was that there have not been any elseworlds stories in quite awhile (excluding things like All Star Superman and such that happened so rarely) and it seemed like Johns was throwing in everyones ideas for different elseworlds stories into this one book. I know that is not what happened but that is how it came off to me.

Thank you for the criticism and I by no means meant for this to come off as trolling. I was just very let down by this issue as the beginning of a company wide event (as I am by Fear Itself).
January 28, 2011 4:37 pm I was wondering why DC was finally releasing Abnett & Lannings Legion run, guess I know now. I am curious which came first, the end of Marvel cosmic proper by DnA or this new wave of mainstream DC work.
January 7, 2011 3:08 pm @Conor as far as immortal characters popping up in legion, check out Abnett and Lannings run (difficult since it has not been collected, but the issues are fairly easy at cons). Ra's Al Ghul plays a huge part. Very fun.
January 5, 2011 12:05 pm Power Girl didn't really fail though did it? I thought the creative team changed because Amanda couldn't keep up a monthly schedule and the writers didn't want to continue without her
December 1, 2010 4:06 pm These products will still be available in other areas which seems to kind of defeat the "Vault" idea. So what if I can't download it from marvel? I can still buy it in issues (expensive for those older ones), in a Marvel Masterwork or, and this is my main fear, download it illegally. If you try this in the digital age I would think the end result would be a giant middle finger and a turn to torrents. especially since you are already trying to grab a tech savvy consumer with digital comics in the first place.

Awesomed By Comics supported the downloading of the show Fillmore because disney has not offered it to buy in ANY form. While this is obviously a little different since you can still buy it in a physical media I can still see others using the same rationale.

I like it. Reminds me of Lady Shiva in that sample page.

Now that they have updated WW to be more practical can someone please convince them to cover up that mid-drift on Huntress?
