My feelings on DC’s output are clear. As of this fall, I will be down to one DC comic a month, Peter Tomasi’s Green Lantern Corps. I also ordered that crazy online deal that gave you a year’s subscription to Green Lantern and Batman for about 10 bucks each, so those will be coming in the mail, but I assume they’ll be late. That will be it for my DC reviews from here on out. (Barring a re-set to the old DCU. I’m still holding out hope!)
Marvel NOW has me pretty excited. There are a lot of good-looking books, and I’m going to get a lot of them. But I can’t help but feel that the TWELVE issues of AvX has been too long. The momentum is gone from the book, and at this point I’m just waiting for the story to wrap up. The crossovers are mostly pointless, and it seems that only when the books return to their normally scheduled stories (for example, Secret Avengers) do things pick back up. Too many writers have been treading water waiting for AvX to conclude.
In Marvel NOW, I’ll be buying floppies of titles that come with digital download codes, and probably buying digital copies of $2.99 titles. 70 long boxes is enough!
I will continue purchasing the Transformers titles and Hypernaturals as they hit $1.99 digitally. Are people interested in reviews on these books if they are a month late? Maybe weekend posts?
