And having evil Oracle feels like DC is shitting on twenty years of Babs's history and some of the strongest legacies of Yale, Ostrander, Dixon, and Simone.
    Not really happy about having Lex/Forever Year of the Villains tie-in, and will have to see how a new writer (AGAIN!) handles Batgirl.

    And did DC get smart and not even bother to pretend that Doomsday Clock #12 would come out in July? (#11 had originally been solicited for May, so two months after that would have been July.)

    Wow, do we have that influence?

    These are really cool solicits but what the hell is up with 32 page comics for $5?! I really want to read those Walmart comics but, unless I'm missing something, they're at most 24 pages of story for $5. Ditto the White Knight sequel. I'm taking a stand. This is not on. I expect this of Marvel, not DC.

    Fortunately, there's plenty of good stuff like the new Super books and the new Young Animal Stuff that aren't total rip offs that I'm looking forward to checking out.

    THIS!

    This price gouge started with Batman Who Laughs and has this month greatly expanded. I too am taking a stand.

    You're not missing anything by skipping the Wal-Mart stuff.

    Plenty of great stuff to read. Young Animal!

    Oh really? That's a bummer. Even if I'm a fan of the writers?

    I would say if you're a fan of the writers but don't wanna buy the overpriced single issues, wait for the trade that's coming out by around the end of the year, since price wise it'll probably be a better deal.

    I'm personally deciding if I wanna wait for trade or get the issues, just because I've been super curious about Bendis' Batman and King's Superman so might be worth it for me in the sense that I've been waiting so long to get that chance.

    Going to wait for the trades for King Superman and Bendis Batman. Otherwise going to check out Way’s Doom Patrol, now that it’s coming back I need to go back and read what is already out.

    Why else would they bring it forward three days, when just a couple of months earlier (just before Christmas) Diamond were trying to make them delay the solicits?

    Yeah, that's what I'm thinking of doing. Especially as I waited this long to read them anyway. An extra dollar or two a month isn't exactly going to break me but it's the principal of the thing.

    Actually now that I'm looking it up, it appears they've pushed back the trade releases for Batman Universe and Superman Up In The Sky to March and April 2020, and they were originally supposed to be around November this year. If I had to make an assumption, I'm gonna guess the original plan was to just release them as trades, but decided fairly last minute to release em as issues. I do hope that if they're gonna charge $5 for those issues (especially since they're already finished stories), they're gonna put a full 30 pages within it, cause charging the extra dollar for just 4 pages is understandably annoying.

    Also for some reason even though they're both hardcovers with the same size, the Batman book is $10 more than Superman's.

    Or get DC Universe streaming service and wait a year. They're adding their entire digital library and adding new comics a year after their release. If you can wait a year, $7.50/month for everything is a pretty great bargain.
