Oh, I’m always down for some Joshua Williamson. Better get caught up on Deathstroke, Inc and Robin I guess.
(Also, just realized that my brain has been conflating the work of Joshua Williamson with that of Rob Williams. No wonder he’s able to put out so much work at once!)
Batman has mostly been a DCUI read for me, outside of random issues in the Walmart bundles.
I was going to start reading Batman in singles as they come out, given its a new arc by a new writer, but Batgirls out-prioritized it, so Batman will remain a DCUI read for a good while longer.
It does, it really does. I loves me some Jonboy Meyers artwork.
As the marketing for Shadow War continues into next March, if I should see a Shadow War poster of the above cover at a comic store, I may just try and talk them out of it, once Shadow War has begun.
Something I’m really curious about is if Shadow of the Bat and Shadow War are at all connected. I hope so, since it feels silly to have two events running in the Batbooks with such similar titles.
The Paul Dini fan in me refuses to dislike anything he’s involved with.
I’ll admit, Countdown got rather…haggard at points, but the good far, FAR outweighed the bad for me. I especially liked the Lord Havok, Countdown: Arena and Countdown to Adventure minis.
Yep! TBH, it’s probably my least-favorite New 52 weekly, as I found Batman Eternal and Earth 2: World’s End much more engaging (especially the latter).
I skimmed the preview on Comixology, but that didn’t tell me anything. If I do read SOTB in singles, I’ll just grab 'Tec as it comes out, then read the Annual once it hits DCUI.
I do wish that with a weekly event, they could drop the price to $3.99 for 'Tec. I remember when DC made a big deal out of offering 52 at $2.50. Thematic appropriateness aside, that was pretty schway of them to do.
I have no idea how well 'Tec has sold since it went to $4.99, but I can guarantee that no matter how well it’s done, it will do even better during SOTB at $3.99, because a temporary price drop would definitely bring some new biz to the book.
“Why do that, when they’d make more money on it at $4.99?”
Because I already buy enough $4.99 titles and would prefer prices to drop, so that I could then snag even more titles. You give a little, you get a little, DC.
DCUI is a lifesaver. I can buy the titles I really want to read as they hit retail, and then just catch-up with everything else 6 months later.
If I could hug DCUI, I would. “I’ll do it, man. Believe me, I will!”
IDK if Lamont Cranston (aka The Shadow) would approve of Slade going to “war” with him, when Lamont would just say “You’re not going to go to war with me.”, to which Slade would say “Okay.” and then the whole affair is over before its even begun.
But…that kind of thing doesn’t sell comics, so snippy Deathstroke it is.
