some local shops offer a discount
you could pre-order from dcbs and get 40% off
buy the trades at amazon or someplace , should be around $15 for about 5 collected issues and the hardcovers might come with a digital code
$4 comics are pricey, if not for dcbs i'd probably trade wait them or wait until they hit Marvel Unlimited.

this superman unchained spread sounds insane
Wait 8 page?! It was just 4 the last time I heard about it. This book is going to be amazing isn't it?

Can't wait to buy the Directors Cut of it too.
Oh man I had almost forgotten about that stupid shit.
Sounds almost as cool as this scene:
Three page spread in 'Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine'

I want that shit, love pencilled art. Other publishers could get me to double dip. I'm dying to see Land's pencilled art.
You mean his tracing paper, right?

More like Superman OFFTHECHAIN Right?
i've never read any Astro City, it sounds neat, i'd probably buy some large omnibus collection but am not sure about jumping in with the upcoming story.
Really all the previous arcs are self contained stories. They keep the same characters and setting (obviously) but take place at different points in time in the history of the city. The upcoming series should be totally safe for new readers to jump into. At it's heart the series is as much about the city and its citizens as it is the heroes that protect it.
yupppp

iv been meaning to get into astro city. pretty excited for this new series
So anyone tried The Eight Seal by James Tynion IV?
Cool stuff! Loved the art.
And did I mention that it's free?
If you liked it you could support the team and grab the digital version at Comixology for just 1 dollar! The art is higher res, and the reading experience is much better since this is was thought as a digital comic from the beginning.
Give it a try guys!

I do. The series in general is really great. (Not a very big fan of Dark Ages arc, though...)
However, this particular arc makes up the whole series for me. Easily my top ten arcs of the genre.
Busiek has said that once they get rolling the series this year they would start pushing hardcover colletions for the rest of the original series, including this arc. Can't wait to get it in my hands...

Yeah Dark Ages was the weakest arc of the run so far, it was still good mind you, but my least favorite. Confession was second only to the Tarnished Angel for my favorite run. The big reveal in Confession was amazing, but I just loved the entire run of the Tarnished Angel so so much.
Took another big chunk out of my unread comics pile.
Hawkeye and FF were fantabulous, although I needed a few issues of Adventure Time to cheer me up after Hawkeye #9. Manhattan projects is totally bonkers and I love it. Issue 10 revisiting some of the Oppenheimer stuff was superb. Can't wait for more. Caught up on Adventure Time's time travel arc (like I said, months behind on some series) and it's still so good. While I haven't watched all the episodes of the show yet, I'd say it does a very good job of capturing the feel of it. One of the most consistently feel-good comics I read.
Probably Prophet, Hypernaturals and Bravest Warriors next.

There's going to be a bunch of stuff you won't understand but just go with it. I've pretty much forgotten most everything Morrison wrote before this (it's been a long time, yo) and they're just very good action comics.

Look up the Archives Editions. So Superman, Batman, or World's Finest Archives.

Ah sorry I meant ONLY the covers, but I'll check as I recall there was a big HC collecting various covers from certain issues.
Currently reading The Bat and the Cat by Fabian N. and Kevin Maguire, hilarious and amazing artwork by Maguire (gotta love how he draws those expressions)

Holy ducking shit yes!!!!!
Oh man, that's a good looking piece of art. I'm pretty hyped for this return.
Also holy shit at the preview for next week.

Thanks for spreading it around! Nice to hear a few more people are enjoying it.
Adding Static to the Titans just makes too much sense for DC to actually do it. He'll end up being spotted in the background during Trinity War.
What do you mean, won't understand? Anything in particular?
I should add that I meant my first foray into comics since the Blackest Night stuff a few years ago. So I've read some Batman stories, just not many recently.
this pleases me

Fuck those people that didn't cheer for a Cyborg series, but DC will probably give him a series since the fans don't want it. Johns will launch this brah to stardom.
Finally ordered Fear Agent and Manhattan Projects. Prepare to have all other comics ruined for me.
