52 Pickup - Which #1 will you be buying?

[Sam Fisher]

Def getting the digital versions of:
Justice League
The Flash

Maybe:
Action Comics
Superman
Batman

 

[El Bastardo]

Ugh, fine, I'll try the first few issues out. Whine, whine, whine, all the damn time from you.

It's the only thing that gets through to you.

It isn't my fault you don't read good stuff. And if whining is what gets the point into that empty chasm between your ears, whine I shall.

 

[Kitsune]

Okay.... I changed my mind... I may check out Firestorm...

 

[Prison Mike]

I will only be subscribing to Action Comics for now. Maybe in the future I'll pick up Justice League and Batman or Flash.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I resent the implication that my head is empty. I believe I lost a quarter in there some time ago.

 

[CantThinkOfAName]

You should really read Snyder's run. Not only is it a definitive take on Batman - and the best Dick Grayson Batman we've seen - it's a definitive take on comics in general. I'm probably not the best when it comes to making lists, but it should sit high on someone's top ## of recent and/or all-time works.

It was a better Dick Grayson Batman than Morrison penned in his issues of Batman and Robin, and he penned an overall stronger Batman in Grayson than did Morrison with Bruce. But it goes so much more beyond just being a Batman comic.

So if you like Morrison on Inc. and other things Batman - and of course you do, why would you not? - then you should add Snyder's Batman ongoing. It's only one more title, and should be a damned good one at that.

I agree. I actually enjoyed his run of Detective Comics more than I did Morrison's run of Batman, Inc. But then they are two very different kinds of stories. I also am not sure if his Batman run is going to resemble his Detective run in any way.

Just read what people are saying.

Batman is obviously the main title, and it has by far the best creative team. So that should be a definite.

Batman and Robin will probably be pretty good and will focus on the father and son dynamic between Bruce and Damain.

The Dark Knight may be good with new writer Paul Jenkins coming on, but it's kind of a pointless title in general.

Detective will be awful. Avoid it at all costs.

[roach]

wow just saw the tv commercial for the new line

 

[jonathancrane]

I will be picking up: Detective Comics, Swamp Thing, Animal Man, Justice League (All,) and of course, Batman. As for the rest, I will be buying the 52 collection this December.

 

[trustyside-kick]

What did they say about digital prices? That JL #1 was going to be the only one above $2.99? Or was it like after the first month it goes to $1.99? Because if they are not going to be at $1.99 I'm going to have to sacrifice some books on my list possibly.

 

[PWN3R]

I'm getting my comics through an online subscription, so I still haven't read JL yet, but this is the list:

Action Comics
Animal Man
Aquaman
Batman
Batman And Robin
Batwoman
Justice League
Swamp Thing


Always have been curious about Swamp Thing, and seeing how Snyder is implying that Swamp Thing and Animal Man will be connected, there goes more money.

I want to get Bat Girl, but I think I can wait.

 

[Mystirious]

Those are some pretty good choices overall

I'm going to be getting the ones you have ticked as well as the JK Dark series and both the series that Simone and Cornell are writing

And I'm going to be checking out Voodoo. Because half alien alien fighting bisexual exotic dancers need some love

 

[CConn]

What did they say about digital prices? That JL #1 was going to be the only one above $2.99? Or was it like after the first month it goes to $1.99? Because if they are not going to be at $1.99 I'm going to have to sacrifice some books on my list possibly.

All books will drop in price by a dollar exactly one month after realize. Since JLA is $3.99, it'll only drop to $2.99. But everything's that starts at $2.99 will go down to $1.99.

 

[Pyro Man]

One's I've already order and such:
Justice League (though the lack of any signs of a starfish related origin story is putting me off)
Action Comics
Animal Man
Batgirl
Stormwatch
Swamp Thing
Batman and Robin
Batwoman
Demon Knights
Frankenstein Agent of SHADE
Resurrection Man
Batman
DCU Presents
Nightwing
Wonder Woman
All Star Western
Aquaman
The Fury of Firestorm (which DC's website says now has the subtitle: The Nuclear Men which is silly because Im pretty sure in the day to day nobody is going to refer to the story as anything but just Firestorm so a lengthy title is unnecessary)
Justice League Dark
Superman

 

[trustyside-kick]

All books will drop in price by a dollar exactly one month after realize. Since JLA is $3.99, it'll only drop to $2.99. But everything's that starts at $2.99 will go down to $1.99.

Wait so like when let's say Demon Knights comes out digitally for the first month it is 2.99 instead of 1.99? Then it drops to 1.99?

 

[CConn]

Yes.

Is it that confusing?

 

[trustyside-kick]

No just stupid. I'm going to wait an extra month now to read my ****. Way to go, DC. Their digital sales are going to be all kinds of inaccurate to how well it really is/could be because of that. I wanted to only get 3 books in print out of my list of like 15.
