Dear DC diary,
First off, and above all else, @moro deserves a ton of credit and Cool Points for creating this spiffy thread.
sends over oodles and freakin’ oodles of Cool Points moro’s way
Thank you, fellow collector.
Onto brass tacks, DC diary!

I’m at that period where I periodically reevaluate my pull list.
After careful consideration, I’m planning on moving the following titles from the “buy as they debut at retail” portion of my list, over to the “read as they come to DCUI/debut in trade” portion:
- Aquamen
- Batgirls
- Batman
- Catwoman
- Dark Knights of Steel
- Deathstroke Inc.
- Wonder Woman
The above titles are all fine and good, no doubt (especially Deathstroke Inc.).
However, with Dark Crisis looming on the horizon, I’m at a point where I want my current pull list to be as minimized as possible, so as to accommodate Dark Crisis and its tie-ins, along with my other essential new to retail reads, such as:
-
The Superman line (World’s Finest will be the Book of the Year, guaranteed, so long as the reception to future issues is as overwhelmingly positive as it was for #1)
-
Nightwing (without question, THE best book in the Batman line, right now)
-
Flashpoint Beyond
-
Danger Street (Black Label Book of the Year)
While its always a bummer to drop titles you enjoy, its also healthy to know when the time is right to drop something for a more important read, be it something current or forthcoming.
Also diary, since I hinted at titles that will be on the annual year-end Best Of lists, I’d like to nominate The War for Earth-3 for Crossover of the Year.
While it seemed to fly under most folks’ reading radars (and rainbows? LaForge might concur), The War for Earth-3 was easily the most fun crossover of March.
As the year progreses and the story comes to DCUI, I’m optimistic that The War for Earth-3 will find the audience it truly deserves.
Lastly journal, its Tuesday, which means its New DC Comics Day!
Whether you’re up for a brand-new to retail read or a new to DCUI read (or both, which is the best option ), the important thing is that you discover something new and have fun with it!
