Oh, and SACRIFICE sounds very cool. I won't be buying any of the Superman books (not crazy about any of the Superman creative teams) but I'll definitely keep an eye out for them. Superman
beating Batman into submission is tempting, though
.
 
US manga are that expensive. The current standard is $10/200 pages, which went a long way towards causing the current boom in manga popularity here. Some of the more popular boy's titles are being sold for $8 a volume, so hopefully prices will start creeping downward over time.

Come on now! It's a damned sight better than when we were paying $15-18 for a volume of manga, and waiting ages for a new volume to be released. ;)

Stopped at the shop today. No Savage Dragon. No Rumble Roses art book. What fucking good is a comic shop?

I stood around looking at various shit - X-This, Spider-That, some indies. The only thing that caught my eye was this Valkyries back-up comic in some shit Image published pseudo-manga bullshit.

Oz also caught my eye. I thought it was a new issue of the old Caliber series, then I saw "MANGA". WTF?

God damn it.

Ah well - GOOD TO POOP ON! >:(

I've never really been into comics but i really want to, were in the world do I start?
I'd start with trades aka graphic novels of whatever heroes interest you.
 
the way i see it
superman is seeing these "enemies" of his and we are gonna go back and forth between the immediate past and the present until we arrive at the moment when diana confronts superman and all hell breaks loose.
 
So, I decided to go down to the LCS, and picked up OMAC Project #2, and Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #192-193. I don't know if it was worth the hour and 15 minute round trip that it took (mostly it was that long because I kinda forgot how to get there and back and probably wasted 10-15 min. going slow and making u-turns), but at least I got to go back to the comic shop. Surprisingly, they must have over-ordered House of M, because they had stacks of #1-3 just stting there (even the variant copy of #1!). I only took $10 (that's all I had :() and I saw that they still had lots of Identity Crisis issues #1-7, will probably either wait for the HC on that or go back and get them, as well as some Seven Soldiers #0, Zatanna #1-2, Shining Knight #3, and someother Seven Soldiers series #1-2, so I'll probably go back and pick those up too. All in all, even though I only got 3 books, it was a fun little trip.
