There were an inordinately larger amount of 13-14 year olds in the comic shop today. I assume most of them were there to pick up their copies of Berserk.Spike Spiegel said:BERSERK vol. 4 and BATTLE ROYALE vol. 8 weren't in my folder this week. Sonovab*tch. The owner didn't have a clue as to whether or not these 2 books shipped this week, so if someone else actually received their copy of BERSERK or BATTLE ROYALE, I'd appreciate a heads-up.

FnordChan said:Man, slow week:
Nausicaa Vol. 6 - Already? Hot damn! On the flip side, now I have to sit around and wait forever for the final volume to come out...

I honestly doubt Marvel would go through with this -- expect a nice bait n' switch next issue.Willco said:As I've been predicting for months, we're getting closer and closer with Spider-Man in Marvel 616...
Not having a secret identity. There have been flashes of this in Amazing, but now the secret is out in not just Marvel Knights, but The Pulse as well? I think we're gearin' up for a big 616 shocker and I'm not quite sure if I like the fact of Spider-Man being outed.

However, if it does happen, I wouldn't be too happy, either.
Willco said:It'd be one thing if this was an isolated event in one book. But two books? And it's been flashed in Amazing as well.
Also...
Regardless of who does what with the information in Marvel Knights, someone has already learned Peter's secret identity in The Pulse and had a conversation with him about it already. I'm tellin' you!
nomoment said:Was it Ben Urich? I thought he always knew?
Willco said:Yeah, it's Urich. It's been one of this hinted at, wink-wink things, but The Pulse had him actually CALL PETER PARKER AND TALK ABOUT IT ON THE ROOF OF THE DAILY BUGLE. There have been subtle hits about 'identity' in Amazing as well. It seems EVERYBODY is learning (or are acting on info they already knew) Peter Parker's secret in The Pulse, Marvel Knights and Amazing. It's just too coincidental, man.
nomoment said:When was there such a need to transform the DCU into such a dark place?
Identity Crisis #2 was disturbing -- and there's really no way this 'event' can impact the DCU positively. The New Cynicism indeed, I guess.
Sh*t. I'll have to ask about them next time I swing by, then.Asbel said:Yeah, I saw both Berserk 4 and BR 8 today as I picked up my Ranma 27.![]()
