Samnee's book is getting announced today. Main rumor is Captain America with Waid until the milestone issue. What panels are today?

He was being torture in the place he died the first time. His mind went back to then and he had to mentally let go of that moment.
Dark Matter is only brand new characters, right? It's been awhile since I read about it so I can't remember for sure.
Also, I don't think the event issues are $2.99. I'm pretty sure they're literally only talking about Dark Matter there.

Should I get Ennis' entire Hitman run during the BOGO? $60 for the whole run doesn't seem awful but I'm still new to the whole digital thing.

I think theres some new characters in Dark Matter but some of it seems like old characters redone such as challengers of the unkown and mr terrific and plastic man etc. I thought I read an article that said there dropping the price of Metal 1 back down to 2.99 after it was going to be a higher price, so might be same price for the full series.

Ahh guess it was lowered to 3.99 not 2.99 then, guess that will be the price of the event issues then.
Wait, Mr. Terrific and Plastic Man?? I thought we were just getting The Immortal Men, New Challengers, Sideways, Damage, and Silencer?
I guess it depends what Ennis stuff you like? Ennis ranges from silly to serious and usually falls on one extreme. Hitman actually finds a happy balance between the two, which makes it a great read. If you like his other work you'll almost certainly like this.

Don't know which series they may show up in but there in the promo images

Oh yeah, forgot about that. There must be a secret unannounced book with Terrific, Metamorpho, Plastic Man, and Phantom Girl (?).

Either that or maybe there just going to be a big part of the Metal series and the set up for the Dark Matter spin off series. Would make sense for a series to come out of it with them included though whether the outsiders or something else.
Yes. Definitely one worth checking out.
They should be somewhat cheaper as there are less expenses involved, but when buying a comic are you buying ink/paper or buying the content created by the writer/artist? If it's the latter, then digital is just as real as print.

In my opinion, you are buying both.
I like that I can loan my floppies out. Or re-gift them.

I think editorial's fingers start itching to fiddle with any run that is building up some steam or has had a relatively uninterrupted outing.

No it's not that. Like I said, it feels like characters are saying things at each other, but it doesn't feel like there's an exchange. I genuinely don't know if that makes sense at all, but that's my issue. And it's not a big one. Not nearly as bad as the first RHatO, but it's still present.
One thing I won't get over is the art, though. How does Lobdell get such good artists on these books?
Literally the best decisions you could make.

Sadly, sales on the YA books are terrible. Their options were probably either to do something like this or wrap the line up.

I really wouldn't be worried about Young Animal direct market sales. From what I've seen, YA is going to be more heavily marketed toward libraries. There's something like 3,000 direct market comic shops and like 120,000 libraries so their strategy is pretty sound imo

YA getting folded under Vertigo, apparently. Probably a good thing.

Smart move.
Was watching a Gerard Way interview where he brought up something called Biologic Show #0.
This thing is fucking weird.
NSFW-ish?

Yeah I think it's really fun. The first arc dragged on too long but everything since then has been great.

Left to right, you've got Cy-Bat, Flash-Bat, what I can only assume is Dooms-Bat, Wondy-Bat, Aqua-Bat, and Lanter-Bat.
This should be a lot dumber than it is.

Yep, only one missing is The Batman Who Laughs(and his Robin).
Do you think I need to read Slott's mini before I dive in?

Nah...it does introduce Regent but you get the background you need on that character anyway. It's a new timeline; a lot of the stuff that happened in the mini didn't happen in the ongoing
It's not a bad mini. I mean if you want some window dressing for the run and why so and so has powers.

I dropped that book when the guest issues became way too many.

The first one about the movies was absolute gold, the rest were pretty poor IMO.

I'm at work so I hope someone does a rebirth panel recap
Just like Amazon said lol. This is a good creative team and they should be able to put out stories faster than the previous one.
