Well it looks like Bleedingcool was right about
The OML solicitation said "the conclusion" and a lot of people started assuming that it was referring to the book rather than the arc.
the Scarlet Spider book from PAD and Bagley. I'll be picking that up.

Yeah the title was a no-brainer but there is still some mystery in that we don't know if it will be
Kaine, or Ben, or both of them
Unless it's in the solicitation of course. I haven't looked.
Or did it pop up elsewhere

DAT CASTING
Why are the majority of Harley's costumes ugly? They need to stop changing it every week and pick something that actually looks good.
I'm expecting Kaine to die and Ben to become the Scarlet Spider again.
I know nothing about Lego but I assume it being Harley means it's sold out and expensive now.
It's part of her character to like dressing up. I prefer her having lots of different outfits.
She has a default costume in her solo book BTW. She just changes from it often but always goes back to it.

The Darkhawk figure is the only decent looking one in that wave, and scalpers are going to have a field day with that one.

That set is brand new
It's even on sale on Amazon US
Edit: if all you want is the minifig I bet you can get it for a lot less on bricklink

Awesome. Glad you are liking it. The third arc will not disappoint. It might make you question whether or not you want to keep going. But that won't be a matter or quality.

As a doting brother(who loved LEGO in his youth) with a young little sister with a love of LEGO it's hard to not use each paycheck on LEGO. She REALLY wants the Bath!Batman, Orca, Catman and more of the collectible figures.
Angela looks good. We'll as good as one of those figures can look
How does one buy these Lego? Amazon

Amazon or shop.Lego.com
Make sure you aren't paying more than MSRP if you don't have to. Lots of scalpers on Amazon
There was also a set called Jokerland that I heard a lot of great things about, but that's out of print so you'd have to pay a bit more for it. (MSRP was US120) That one came with quite a few minis, I believe Harley and Ivy were both in it

There's also a new Arkham Asylum set on the way for the movie IIRC.

Yeah I think so, which is nice as I missed the last one
The Scuttler you linked to looks soooo rad, I'm buying it the second it's available. Setting aside some Christmas cash.

It really sucks that this happened. LoWW is great, and to lose it for such a stupid reason is really fucking sad. Why couldn't they just talk shit in private like normal people? Did they really think that publicly criticizing their peers and employers would result in something good happening for them? Such a stupid, stupid, shame.

From de Liz(not her husband who made most of the comments):
That's the end of that.
Edit: Extremists sneak peek.
Good night.
There’s seems to be a ton of articles on LoWW at the moment, and wild ideas of what happened, and misconceptions of who we are, so let me say a couple things to clarify so we (and DC) can hopefully move on from this.
DC stated “challenging relationship” as the cause for the end of LOWW, which I feel is fair from both sides. I want LoWW readers to know, never once did I knowingly cross any lines, or felt I risked LoWW in any way, which is why I was SO shocked by the turn of events. I am a very careful person, and would never have risked it.
My true mistake was not recognizing the atmosphere of my work environment (perhaps a hazard of working remotely) so I could understand the expectations from it. I had the impression everything was fine & was told repeatedly I was welcomed to share my concerns or opinions anytime, so I trusted it was wanted, and safe to give them privately and respectfully. If I had known my thoughts were not appreciated, I would not have given them.
My couple tweets seen in most articles were relating feelings and not intended as a negative towards DC. I didn’t recognize it was viewed so harshly, or was forbidden, and I apologize for any harm they did.
In the last week I’ve lost a dream project, been uplifted by the comics community, been accused of being horrible things, while dealing with a threatened pregnancy.
We are not bad people, we didn’t know we were…er…”poo-ing” where we ate and weren’t roving around DC like a couple ungrateful, mindless rebels. We just missed information somewhere which led to us choosing honesty instead of the expected compliance.
So I hope now news sites will give my family peace through the Holidays, because we sorely need it, especially for baby soon-to-be. There is no ill will to DC, and no crazy story to tell. It’s just the way things worked out this time.
I will be forever grateful for my time with Wonder Woman, and to the readers who supported it. I’ll always be right here, continuing to support the works of DC’s wonderful creators, and I hope everyone does the same.
That's the end of that.
Dillon 100% knew what he was doing since he tried to delete old tweets as the story broke and hasn't responded to questions. de Liz is fine as all articles and DC have said.
Edit: Extremists sneak peek.
Good night.
They should be in jail.

Glad someone finally focused on the real story here.
Minifigs???
FUCKIN MONA LISA SAPPERSTEIN IS HARLEY QUINN
Ivan Reis is a god amongst men. Too bad I don't see him making it past issue #15. He's drawing the whole first arc + Rebirth issue, the covers, and a Superman issue. They must've finally figured out how to clone him.

He always seemed to keep up with deadlines, didn't he? How long did he last on Aquaman?
Until he took over on Justice League after Throne of Atlantis. JLA is double shipping though, so him doing the first arc is impressive.

If you were pulling Solo you should immediately switch to Foolkiller
I feel alright knowing I am not pulling any of this books. Will read black widow for sure though
He made it to issue 13.

Emanuela Lupacchino on X-Factor now. Yes!
Heard about Foolkiller, I wasn't pulling Solo, I was just looking forward to the series already ending

Reis has only been doing a few interior pages since Rebirth started so hopefully he has enough lead time to do the one Superman issue and then the first arc of JLA.

Mayday #2: *pats shoulders delicately* You're just so pretty. You're very, very pretty.
Mega Princess #2: My daughter is really into this but she might have to start paying for it herself from now on. It's sorta like I Hate Fairyland in structure, but without all the violence, and the dialogue reminds me of My Little Pony: FiM, which is another book she loves that I do not buy or read myself. I might give it one more. It IS really cute.

Amazing. Love what I've seen of Paulina Ganucheau. Might have to check out her book Another Castle some time soon.

I think we got enough forward momentum. It was mostly getting a feel for the characters. Plus we had some pretty interesting foreshadowing. I liked it. Good dialogue and I thought the interaction between
Jess and Spot was hilarious
Nah she fucked 'em. In the Women of Marvel X-23 issue and the Hunter's Dream arc of her solo series, a demon (I believe Belasco) and some other person get inside her head and talk about how she was used for sex. Based on the timeline, she was only 15-16 when she was a hooker. They try to sugar coat it, but she had sex.
Gross. It adds nothing to the character, though I haven't read everything with her. She's already traumatized and fucked up enough, so this just seems like overkill. Like the rape scene in Hellsing Ultimate.

What's crazy is I'm pretty sure Joe Q came up with that idea himself so the buck stops at the top
Hard to judge too harshly because a) this was still a period when the "trauma makes female protagonists appear stronger" trope was not well understood as the harmful narrative trick that it is, and b) I don't think they knew what the fuck they wanted X-23 to be back then. But yeah it's best forgotten all the same and thankfully it generally is.
And while this doesn't excuse it, let's not kid ourselves, that trope is alive and well in comics and in other mediums

Yeah. The living weapon shit was already brutal enough. That was unnecessary. They could have easily just had her as a street rat being used by a gang to commit crimes or something if you really wanted to add to it. Feels like they did it just for NYX. But whatever. It's done
Using this kind of thing isn't bad IF USED PROPERLY. Not just stacked like a LEGO used to make the tower bigger.
