DC 52 Event #1's Discussion [SPOILERS!]

Theydon Bois

Did you spot the mistake in the superman comic? They switched the speech bubbles of the two helicopters speaking - the police are telling the press to move away, but the police speech is coming from the copter marked 'press'.

I can see why they did the reboot but for the comics I read its not been a huge issue and nothing that could not have been accomplished with a couple of issues of explanation (Dick going back to Nightwing etc) and maybe an arc similar to the one Bruce went through after his broken back to explain Barbara.

I imagine that within 6 months many of the non core titles will be a mess and a mighty crossover will exist ( Who is the DCU's Mystery Woman? - Comics Feature at IGN ) - DC without Batman would be well and truly up he creek I think

Theydon Bois

Now that's clever. I spotted the one in Grifter, but I wrongly assumed it was part of the people that took him at the time.

Colour me impressed at the continuity.

Chaps. Wich websites do you use to order the comics from? I would like to start collecting a few of these for my son.

I use Economic Comics for my regular stuff. Just sign up and choose what you want to subscribe to from their search list. For everything else I use Forbidden Planet but their delivery times aren't always brilliant.

Theydon Bois

I am using Economic as well. Someone, Newman? recommended them, and I have been with them a month, but very happy. For Bricks and Mortar shops, FP and Orbital (Leciester Square tube station).

NewMan

Nah, wasn't me - was someone else here who recommended Economic Comics - but I'll recommend them now.

Picked 4 titles up at the weekend...

Superman
Superman: Action Comics
Teen Titans
Batman Dark Knight

So far Dark Knight & Teen Titans are very good & I'll be continuing the series with them.

The Superman titles on the other hand were pretty poor.
Both just didn't live up to expectation.
Superman especially was terrible...way too talky & not nearly enough going on to make it interesting I got bored half way through & didn't finish it.

I've ordered a lot of the other titles & I'm especially looking forward to the Lantern titles I've got really into the character over the last few months & I'm excited about what they do with the new reboot.

I'm using a mixture for my comics...Forbidden Planet.com & my local comic shop
Local has my subscriptions now as I cancelled them elsewhere...cheaper locally & I want to support him as he's been really good over the last 20  years that I've been using him so would be a huge shame to see him fail now.

Thanks guys. We have a pretty good comic store called Red Sun (I think) that opened up in my town so will go and check them this weekend. Anything I can't find there I will go online for.

Theydon Bois

I am all for cashing in and getting rid of some of my doubles I am afraid.

I started picking up the Excellent Batman & Robin from about 3 years ago, and got loads of issues far cheaper than the #1 Batman & Robin released in the DCU, which (based on only 1 issue) is not as good as the first B&R isue 1 from that series.
