Overall, looks like my DC pull has gotten a bit smaller, but only because Brightest Day ends. Sadly, Flashpoint kicks off, so I'm sure that will take a toll on my wallet then.

Interestingly enough, that GL cover they have there is the cover on this week's issue, so I'm really kind of confused by the whole deal. It seems like things are kind of messed up in that area of GL. Also I'm eager to avoid just about all of the Movie tie-ins. I'll probably read some but can't say I'd pick them up.

Bonus: I want that Absolute Identity Crisis. Say what you will, but I want it.

COWBOYS HC

Just like with Marvel, I'll be skipping DC's whole Flashpoint mega event. I hate mega-events. Hate. Hate. Hate them. The Flashpoint tie-ins which interrupt the regular titles will most likely be mediocre at best & horrendous at worst.

May looks like a great month. Firstly from some of the current solicts it looks like Superman, Batman, WW, Flash, GL, MM & Aquaman are *finally* back during the current Eclipso storyline. How long they'll be back for is anyone's guess. I'm not sure but at this point I'm not caring.

Then there are some great new titles kicking off w/ Batwoman & Batman: Arkham City in addition to the enjoyable Birds of Prey, Zatanna & slightly less enjoyable Gotham City Sirens and the always consistent JSA. Of all the books on my pull list the only ones that isn't getting me excited is Superman/Batman. Gotham City Sirens & JSA are both okay but could be vastly better. Gotham City Sirens has been lacking direction for the past several issues but is still fun to read & JSA is always fun to read even though they overuse the Nazi element.

Decided to pass on Arkham City cause it's 3.99. I'll wait for the trade to get it.

Fucknuggets! I didn't realize Arkham City was $3.99. Aw well, looks like I'll pass on it as well & pick up the trade.

Fuck you, DC; you're as bad as Marvel. "Drawing the Line at $2.99" my ass...

Oops, it's 2.99 actually. Sorry for misleading.

BWAHAHAHAHA!

And hey, DC said they'd keep all ongoings at 2.99, which they have. They said some minis and one shots were possibly going to be 3.99, which I can understand.

Wait, where did you get that from? I read the JLA solicit and didn't see that at all? Or did you mean somewhere else? Because if this is going down, I want back in.

Looks like AC is back on the list (I should really start double checking stuff myself instead of blindly accepting things).

It doesn't explicitly state that the big 7 will be returning but if you click on the newsarama website and scroll down to where they have a preview of JLA #54, you'll see a shot of Supes, Bats, Wondy, Squaman, MM, Flash & GL. Then when you click on the image you see the cover for the current issue (Eclipso with Eclipoised JLAers on there).

Unfortunately the Newsarama image viewer isn't working. I've been trying all day to see what the images from the preview look like but with no luck. So I'm going to just assume that the original JLAers will show up when Eclipso takes over the sad sack bunch that have been running the JLA for the last 20 or so issues.

Hmm I just realized that I could've just flipped through the current issue of JLA I just brought and seen for myself.

Oh, yeah I saw the Preview on the Source Blog. It's one of those "The JLA formed with... and then added ...., and today it's made up of..." 2 pages. The art on the Big 7 was really nice, but I did the same as you when I saw it and went 'They're all in the issue?' but based on what I saw it doesn't seem to be the case.

AAAARRRGGHHHHHHH!!!!!

That was pretty much how I reacted. I was ready to run to the shop the next day when you said that and then I caught the preview.
