I've been enjoying the series.
It's a lot of fun.
I can only assume it's because they have smaller sized paperback collections and decided to do something crazy and make a large collection of Star Wars Legacy follow their undersized format. I have the first nine paperbacks so i wasn't likely to upgrade anyways, but it struck me as an odd decision given that they are putting out some great oversized collections lately in Buffy/Hellboy/Fear Agent.

Appropriate, given this month's thread title.
Nightwing #19 WTF Cover Revealed (Direct Link)
Nightwing #19 WTF Cover Revealed (Direct Link)
A new, younger character taking up the mantle? Fits perfectly with the idea of Loomis offing himself over New52, and DC's general policy on respect for the dead. ;p
Just received mine and I am unable to click Sign In
Nothing for me yet! Will report in when I do get it. We have 48 hours to get the comics so there's time to get increasingly frustrated and give up.

NEW YORK CITY, 1951: The star of beloved daily television serial "Satellite Sam" turns up dead in a flophouse filled with dirty secrets. The police think it was death by natural causes but his son knows there was something more if only he could sober up long enough to do something about it. This noir mystery shot through with sex and violence exposes the seedy underbelly of the golden age of television.

Great stuff. I'll report back when they've answered my e-mail.

I might have to check out Satellite Sam. I will be getting the Revival and Manhattan Projects tpbs that month.
Looks like monthly readers will be waiting until at least August for their next dose of Saga.
yes...but notice how mystique's right boob is so big, it wraps around her chest and under her armpit?

So... Wolverine and the X-Men just started running in Marvel UK's "Essential X-Men" title.
Holy shit, that's got to the best start to an X-series I've ever seen. Just insane.

The Marvel UK titles are amazing value, imo. We get 3 stories per comic, 76 pages. The most recent issue of Essential X-Men was Uncanny X-Men #3 ("Everything Is Sinister!" Part Three) and Wolverine and the X-Men #1 and #2. ("Welcome to the X-Men! Now Die!" Parts One and Two) A great little chunk for £2.95.
Unlike some of the posters here who seemed to have issues with the Marvel #1 promotion, I was able to sign in to Comixology last night and grab the 700+ free #1 issues from their promotion. It was annoying having to add each issue to the cart individually, but I didn't mind putting in some effort for free stuff. It just felt like I was playing Diablo adding everything to the shopping cart. click, click, click, click, click...
Seeing this I decided to try again and what do you know, it worked.
Are there any issues I should definitely get outside of Marvel Now?

I might be wrong since it was late at night when I was adding things to the cart, but I believe there are a couple issues that are part of Marvel Now but weren't in the Comixology's grouping for Marvel Now. I'd recommend just picking everything related to characters you like, since it's free. Others here would have to chime in for recommendations on what #1 issues from the past few years would be good pick ups, since I just started reading comics again recently.
Yeah, at this point I'm just throwing whatever looks interesting into the cart. There's a loooot of issues in there hah.

Finally read Superboy 19...........so fucking convoluted. I'll give you him not being the genetic combination of Lex Luthor and Superman is way better, everything else is just so damn convoluted.
I've overall been a supporter of the Nu52 but the handling of the Super family of books has been the worst part of the Nu52.

To give them a bit of credit this twist could easily lead to an interesting story line in the main Superman book, that said I have no faith in Lobdell or his editors to do it.
Did the story give any reason why they went with the new pairing?

People are forgetting that this Superboy actually has three DNA donors. So the "third" one could still be Lex Luthor.
And yes, they give a reason.

Mind sharing? Don't read the super-family of books.
Lucky you.

Harvest made him. See Harvest was a regular human in the 30th century fighting the Metas. Who eventually kidnap and kill his young son. He steals an experimental time machine that infuses his body with Chronal energy. Travels back in time to a point when Lois and Clark are married and have a son. Seems their DNA isn't mixing perfectly and their Son gets sick, they think he's died. Harvest being from the future knows it's only temporary and takes the child and raises him as his own, training him to fight the Metas. Making them think the Metas are trying to kill him. As he grows though his DNA has another spike of that not being happy together, and he falls ill. He needs access to Lois and Clark's DNA, but they took off and no one knows where since their Son "died" so Harvest has to take them farther back in time. Also every time Harvest travels in time it fucks him up. He travels back to when Superman first showed up, steals some of his blood and lois's blood and mixes it with a 3rd set of DNA to help it. He thinks the clone is a waste goes to kill it BAM Superboy wakes up and escapes. Harvest has control of some sort of him though, and Superboy is reaching the point where he'll be bale to use him to save his "son" aka Clark and Lois's kid from the Future. All of the stuff from Teen Titans, and the culling, and the ravagers etc etc where all to train soldiers for his "Son" to lead to kill all the Metas in the 20th century.
Like I said, REALLY convoluted.
Combined with your avatar that post kinda freaked me out.
Got a headache just trying to connect it, you weren't kidding. Thanks.

Anyone shocked? Azzarello all but explicitly stated this was happening in his first interviews about Orion joining the cast.
Also, big picture is BIG.
Shocked, no. Thrilled? Yes.
Sorry for the image size, posting from my phone so I can't tell how big it is. Should be fixed now though.
