Ah. Wasn't aware of the dual-cover thing.

Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
The cover that the store was selling for $8 is the one with just Wolverine's claws extended.
Which the other store had roughly 10 copies of at regular price.
What does the limited edition cover look like?
(I think that the regular cover looks pretty cool.)
Here is a picture of all three covers from an ebay auction.
I think the cover with the whole team is the rarest but I'm not sure.
So, on my lunch break I ran to the store that is now my favorite. They did not have The Outsiders #10, even though I swore I saw more than one copy yesterday. I ended up buying only the new Batgirl and forgetting to ask about GCPD.
I'm going to wait until Saturday when I can hit the other store that's in an inconvienent location for me and see what they have.
I was thinking on the "This is what's wrong with comics" problem, and - it could be worse... they could be foil covers.

What's that I see on the horizon? Is it 1994, it's time come round at last? Oh, the fear.
Jeff Mejia! I need your mailing address so that you may receive your Class Protector Medal. My profile addy is good.
They had a huge stack of Astonishing X-Men at the Berkeley Comics & Comix (just the regular cover). I had no problem buying it a week after it was out.
Ple, I now possess Dark Victory for compare and contrast purposes.

I think his characterization was better in Dark Victory than in Long Halloween, which is probably why I prefer it. Slow a bit the first part, in terms of plotting (I think the Haunted Knight stuff Loeb did is probably his best-balanced, because the shorter form forces him to NOT meander so self-indulgently).
Half-Price Books still had JLA: World Without Grown-Ups -- for $2.50. I love Half-Price Books.
The only comics store within walking distance of my office (and a nice walk it was today too) offers a significant discount when you buy 7 or more TPBs, so I decided today would be a good day to patch some holes in the collection.
Powers 1, 3, 4 (read them all, but in borrowed copies)
Alias 1
Birds of Prey, Of Like Minds
Batman: The Killing Joke
Batman/Huntress: Cry For Blood
So, to sum up -- Batchicks and Bendis.
Plus, the new Detective Comics and the new Birthright. I've only read the latter so far, and my Lois-love is confirmed. Also, I just adore the "I trust you." "Really? Wow" conversation between her and Supes. OMG! they are so MFEO!!1! t /juvenility
