SUPERMAN: THE LAST DAYS OF LEX LUTHOR is sensational, and a fantastic follow-up to BIRTHRIGHT, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary and which I just finished reading here on DCUI! Waid keeps the hits coming, doesn’t he?
Eight of the 13 issues for DCUI Ultra this week are #1’s!
So what will I check out first? That’s a tough question. It’s gotta be a Knight Terrors title because I’m loving that event and we have six issues to choose from! I think I’ll read them in this order:
Knight Terrors #2
Knight Terrors: Action Comics #1
Knight Terrors: Angel Breaker #1
Knight Terrors: Detective Comics #1
Knight Terrors: Harley Quinn #1
Knight Terrors: Titans #1
Superman: The Last Days of Lex Luthor #1
Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic #1
From there I still have some great books to read but that’s where I’ll start! Let’s go!
I will, of course, read all of them, first the archives and then the manga, and the ultra releases. look forward to the new issues after week. Thanks Dc!
As I mentioned, DCUI always gets the latest issue a week prior to its retail release.
Did DC proper decide to have the final two issues debut here the same day as retail, then (my guess, based on current evidence)?
When I go into the series itself, it lists 5 issues, but only shows #s 1-4 right now (which was just changed it seems, as the series is now listed at 4 issues).
Right — officially, the DCUI release date is the same as the retail release date, 8/29.
To clarify something really quick, release plans do change for any number of reasons, and we on the community team aren’t provided insight as to how or why; thus, we’re not able to relay any information on Superboy’s date change other than that it has, in fact, been updated to be August 29th, which I relayed in the thread linked above.
Interesting. Is it known ATM if #6 will be coming out day and date with retail, then?
Or was #5 a special circumstance and, as long as things stay on-schedule, the sixth and final issue will be here a week early, ala #s 1-4?
That must be frustrating.
I would have thought DC would communicate release delays with DCUI, as its in their best interests to do so (and it makes things easier on the DCUI team).
No apology needed. I appreciate the timely clarification.
Hadn’t heard of GCPD The Blue Wall before, but I really like the comics that focus on the goings-on that are usually kept in the background of the superhero story. This sounds like it might be that kinda thing so I’ll definitely give it a read.
I was able to read Superboy: Man of Tomorrow #5 before it got taken down - looks like I got a sneak peek at an upcoming story!
Each week I set the goal of reading all the books that are released that week on DCUI Ultra and each week life gets in the way or I start reading other stories and I don’t finish. This week I’m two books away - Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic #1 and Batman: The Audio Adventures #7 are all that remain and I have about 36 hours to do it. I like my chances this week!
