It makes a lot of sense to order well in advance. I'm interested in how well this system works. Doesn't it happen that in three months time, you have a bunch of things you'd wish were different about your pull?
I dont know that it's a system that would work for me. Like, I'm only beginning to know creators. So the names attached don't always provide much insight into the book. And I don't know how frequently there are previews available when you order this far in advance. Previews are a big help in choosing a series to try out. And scouring the listings, for me, is all about discovering new titles.

Although August is my first dcbs shipment, I still want to participate in the weekly list.
Just waiting for the new thread.

I'm in the same boat, with the ever-changing pull-list... But at the same time, I really am curious to try it. Especially when the prices are that much cheaper.

The last issue of Talon was good besides having the art change midissue for no reason.
The savings are fantastic but i do miss the flexibility. For example, i skipped out on all but one Villian's Month books, if one turns out amazing i'll see if dcbs has any or i'll have to wait for it to drop $1 on comixology, at least digital is an option. You can email dcbs to see if they can add a book to your order after the pre-order cut-off, sometimes they can, lately i've had problems with it since Justice League 22 was sold out and some Image books are hard for them to re-order. The previews catalog lines up with your ordering fairly well, though i stopped ordering the catalog.

So how far in advance do your orders need to be placed?
Do you have to pay for your order when you place the order, or when it ships?
Can you have a pull-list where titles roll over on a monthly basis, or do you have to order each issue individually?
you can have a pull list, i think it's created from a previous order, so you'd go into that and mark all the books you want to add to your pull list. I never use it because it used to have problems with variant covers being added to your order, not sure if that still exists.
right now dcbs just put up October Solicit books to pre-order, so 2 months in advance for pre-orders. You are charged for your order about a month before the books come out.

It's really tempting. But it seems like there would be a period of adjustment, too. As well as a month or two of double-expenses for comics as you both have to pre-pay DCBS and pick your shit up from the LCS.

Oh yeah, if I was in The States, I would totally do it, too. Being in Canada, there aren't shipping services available that make it worth giving up the ability to mold my collection on a weekly basis.

Decided to buy the Flash Annual on a whim, and loved it. I might jump into the series as a result.

It's a solid series. It doesn't blow me away story wise, but if you like The Flash as a character it's consistently entertaining. Plus the art is always great.

Wow, loving Andrea Sorrentino's art on Green Arrow. Issue 21 in particular. Great stuff.
Edit - And 22 has one of the best 2 page panels ive ever seen.

Even Morrison knew they were the best duo.

I read the first issue, but I wasn't blown away. But that may just be because I don't have the hard-on for Howard Chaykin that a lot of people seem to. Am I missing something?
Superior Foes is sort of like Hawkguy, but with bad guys. It was fun, it'll be worth following for a bit to see where it goes.
Batman Beyond 2.0 was awesome as hell. Read dat shit guys.

I really enjoyed Superior Foes. I appreciate that we're dealing with dark characters in a light hearted manner. And what we've seen thus far of the characters and the plot has me interested in both. And it was genuinely funny. Great art. What's not to like?
aw man... so I'm chillin here at my computer in my underwears redeeming Marvel codes and bagging / boarding my old comics to get ready for sum ebay selling.
it amuses me knowing a few ppl are gonna be winning a batch of comics from me that have inadvertently been rubbed against my crotch

Tomasi handled Damian better than Morrison ever could have hoped to.

Laugh all you want, but Tomasi's run on Batman and Robin, had more emotion and real father/son connecting in it than anything Morrison ever hit with the character. Let alone Batman and Robin 18 (or was it 19) that had way more feels, emotion, and sympathy than in Morrison's own book in dealing with the death of Damian.
I need to update my ebay listings:
All comics are in great condition with bags/boards, at no time did a comic touch my crotch.
