I'll be getting:
Flash
Nice House on the Lake
Robin
Checkmate
Blue & Gold
I'll check out the Aquaman/GA mini series on the rack before deciding.
"My name is Wally West. I'm the fastest man alive!"
I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
That's up to the higher up of DC, if the Flash sales does not meet the expectations by the publishers and editors. They will probably cancel the Flash run and it blow the chance for Jeremy to write more Flash.
In the 90s Flash sold around 50k every month.
EDIT: BIG CORRECTION. The high prices for the sample chapters are wrong. I quoted the prices for these two special edition samples as they are shown in the solicitations at CBR and Gamesradar.
The prices are corrected in DC Connect #15. These two samples are promotional items sold in bundles of 25 copies for $6.25 to the retailer. Usually the retailer will hand items like that to customers free of charge, or for a quarter or something.
But for anyone who is only looking at the online solicitations, you might see those ridiculous prices, so I'm leaving this post up instead of deleting it.
END EDIT.
The samples are a bad deal. I'd call it a money grab but I don't see how anyone at DC would deliberately have priced parts of stories this way. It looks like they just thought 32 pages? 3.99. 40 pages? 4.99.
But that's not really a hard rule. The kids comics like Scooby Doo are 2.99.
Diana: Princess of the Amazons - 144 pages, list price 9.99.
Sample - 32 pages, 3.99.
That's 22% of the pages for 40% of the price.
Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed - 208 pages, list price 16.99.
Sample - 40 pages, 4.99.
That's 19% of the pages for 29% of the price.
Seems to me if you're interested, buy the book. Not the sample. These samples should be $.99 or $1.99. Because there is no way to buy "part 2" - if you're interested, you have to buy the whole thing all over again.
Comixology has at times had samples of every DC YA and Kids novel available for free download.

Are any of those prices right?
In the initial announcement all three reprints were listed as Free Special Editions:
*WONDER WOMAN #1 - Free Special Edition Out October 19, 2021
*WONDER WOMAN: TEMPEST TOSSED - Free Special Edition Out October 19, 2021
*DIANA PRINCESS OF THE AMAZONS - Free Special Edition Out October 19, 2021
Yes, all 3 are free. DC Connect #15 shows their covers, and the covers do all say "FREE" on them.
There are mistakes and/or confusing information in the CBR solicitations; in the Gamesradar solicitations; and in DC Connect #15.
CBR:
WW #1 Special Edition - no cover shown, text says $.25 in bundles of 25 for $6.25. That is retailer info, not for customer. No indication that it's free.
WW Tempest Tossed Special Edition #1 - no cover shown, text says $4.99. WRONG PRICE.
Diana: Princess of the Amazons Special Edition #1 - no cover shown, text says $3.99. WRONG PRICE.
Gamesradar:
WW #1 Special Edition - shows cover, "FREE". Text says $.25 in bundles of 25 for $6.25. That is retailer info, not for customer.
WW Tempest Tossed Special Edition #1 - shows cover, "FREE", but text says $4.99. WRONG PRICE.
Diana: Princess of the Amazons Special Edition #1 - shows cover, "FREE", but text says $3.99. WRONG PRICE.
DC Connect #15 - for all three of these, it shows the covers, "FREE", and in all cases says the $.25 in bundles of 25 for $6.25. That is the closest to being correct, but they should not be printing retailer costs in this book. This catalog is for customers - the Checklist even tells you to return the checklist to your retailer so you don't miss anything - and DC has started printing it the catalog again because retailers wanted to be able to hand their customers a catalog to page through, like they used to when Diamond distributed the DC Extras catalog. The price listed in this catalog for these 3 promo books should be "Free." The retailer prices should be shown to retailers when they order, or should be in a separate price list or separate version of the catalog for retailers only.
DC Connect #15 is on the Lunar home page and DC Connect page at dccomics, and you can download it, or view it online at DC.

DC has been putting the 2021 catalogs on the 2020 web page, because -- they aren't quite on top of what they're doing. Except for DC Connect #14 - which seems to be missing, because they stuck it, all by itself, at https://www.dccomics.com/comics/dc-connect-2021.
There are continuing to be glitches and inconsistencies in DC Connect and in the solicitations. The checklist also has bugs. This month, for the second month in a row, it has a variant covers code key which shows the icons for 1, 2, 3 and 4 variants - but, Task Force Z is marked with a pale green icon containing "6v" meaning 6 variants. But the solicitation text actually only lists 5 variants for the book, not 6. Neither the icon for 5 or 6 variants is included in the key. So it's two errors on the Checklist for just that one comic. It's sloppy work. They need to proofread DC Connect and the solicits.
DC has made mistakes in the solicits and catalog every month since they laid off the person who put this all together. They didn't used to make mistakes. This is what happens after corporate layoffs, virtually everywhere.
Getting:
Detective Comics
Nightwing
Titans United
It depends from the first arc:
Robin
Suicide Squad
Titans Academy
The Flash
Dropped:
Urban Legends (my favourite book for the first 6 issues. No interests in these new stories).
Green Lantern
I didn't include them because I was only talking about only the one-shots. Black & Gold and Nubia and the Amazons are miniseries so they will end a few months later. I really love Black & Gold but it's a collection of stories that are non-canon but nevertheless I enjoy them. Wonder Girl and Nubia and the Amazons, on the other hand, don't interest me. I will be only getting the main Wonder Woman title and the 80th-anniversary special.
Im going to get.
Action Comics
Nightwing
Flash
Suicide Squad
Swamp Thing
Wonder Girl
JL Last Ride
Batman TAC S2
Blue and Gold
JL Infinity
Batman 89
Superman 78
Titans United
Deathstroke Inc (Maybe)
