DC should promote this thing the way that Trapper-John-looking jerk pimps out that Christian Children's charity, combined w/ the moxie of those Pat Boone gold-pimping ads. "You're not doing anything right now, are you? What're you going to spend that money on, anyway? Condoms? Booze? A cup of coffee? Some fattening fast-food confection? For that same dollar, you could buy a book by the creators of such beloved series as _Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E._ and _Azrael_. In addition, this entertaining book will appreciate in value as you grow older. It's an investment in the now, and in the future."

I think this is a grebt idea. I wish however it wasn't some lame-o Infinite Crisis tie-in.
I hope the 24 rip-off extends to i) stonking cliffhangers every week ii) rubbish cougar menace plot.

52 will run in real time (or as close to real time as comics can approximate) – that is, when it’s winter outside your window, it will be winter in the United States of the DCU.
DiDio's going to have all planes to Australia grounded for six months? The power's really going to his head now.
(also when does Infinite Crisis end? has anyone at DC counted how many Wednesdays there actually are next year?)

I'm starting to get serious Crisis fatigue. I have no problem with DC's whole idea of trying to make sure that every Wednesday is A MAJOR EVENT, but I need more payoffs.

R/T War is the most boring space war 'epic' I have ever read, Gibbons is totally phoning it in, it reads and indeed looks like the old badly-coloured US reprints of fourth-string 2000AD strips. At least Day of Vengeance has the odd bit of Good Chimp Art and some kind of potential conclusion (either they beat the Spectre or they don't).

All convention reports I ever read make them sound like the absolute worst kind of sleeves-up 'let's have fun now guys' office sales team meetings. Jeph Loeb and Joe Q playin' pranks on one another before announcing the latest Q3 figures. Clip art by Michael Turner.

Now all those people who read that "The Pact" was the greatest comics story ever printed (as some polls show)
Polls are going to change soon, buster.
