Oh, for god's sake. Blue Beetle #1 sold OUT before 3:00 today.
The comic book store guy said they haven't been prepared for how many people are just buying every single title, just because they're #1s. So they ordered low on the titles that, frankly, wouldn't ordinarily sell well, and were caught off guard.
So I am Blue Beetle-less, GOD DAMN IT. He'll have a copy for me Friday (at which point my car will be in the shop and I won't be able to get it, GOD DAMN IT).
Did get Batman #1, though.
Steph, I just want you to know that for a moment I considered buying the issue from my comic book store tonight and overnighting it to you tomorrow, but I wouldn't be able to get to a post office in time.
P-C, you are awesome, my friend. I think I will live until Friday (at which point Tim will have to get off work in time to drive me to the store before it closes).
Very possible I can find it on the interwebs tonight through alternative means. And if I weren't planning to buy it for reals, I wouldn't do that. Although I'm not sure I remember my demonoid password. Hmmm.
Apparently Catwoman #1 ends with Bruce inside Selena. Tastefully. IO9 says to skip that and Red Hood unless you need softcore porn.
I've been buying the #1s electronically, since I don't want to take up space with something I won't continue on with.
I went in to a doctor today with my Batgear and called my apartment the Batcave. I'm sure she thinks that's why I don't sleep nights--delusions of Batdeur.
Apparently Catwoman #1 ends with
Right on! (What? I can cheer that. They both deserve it. I think. Maybe not in the rebooted continuity.)
Apparently Catwoman #1 ends with
Huh. Considering Bruce & Selina are one of my long-standing DCU OTPs, I'm good with that.
(Them, Babs & Dick, and Harley & The Joker.)
Apparently they're strangers, though. I really need to look at those final few pages. The "unboxing" I saw on Youtube ( [link] was a bit fuzzy.
Apparently they're strangers, though.
What? No, that I am not okay with. Of course, there seems to be very little of the DCU reboot I'm okay with, which is why I'm not bothering to read any of them.
I liked Batman, probably the most art and script combined. There's one scene of Bruce and the "good" Robins (Steph never was Robin in this universe, I think, but she will appear as Spoiler) and it made my heart go ping.
Wonder Woman was enh, whatever. I also have Nightwing and Bird of Prey to read today.
Steph never was Robin in this universe, I think
Of course. Jesus.
