Is anyone else yet to receive their $5 coupon from Marvel? They were supposed to be emailed on April 1st, but according to BleedingCool there was some problem with this. April Fools, indeed!

I read some 'Best Joker Stories of All Time' lists online and ended up buying 29 issues in this sale. These 99c sales are dangerous!

I was going to give the whole Avengers vs X-Men event a miss, but might give it a try after reading AvX #0. It's a decent issue, but has me intrigued enough to see what comes next. The $5 coupon certainly helps ;) After dropping a bunch of Marvel titles, this digital comic thing might pull me back i...

DCBS just tweeted they're offering 50% off the bundle of #5 issues! I'm still catching up on the #1s (busy October, with monthly shipping) and so far it's working out cheaper for me to get the bundles than order individually. Hoping I can drop a bunch - I don't have time to read them all!

No doubt Marvel is using the number of issues returned as an early indicator of how much Flashpoint remains on store shelves. It might give them a chance to tweak things come September, especially if they've underestimated DC.

Yep, enjoying everything I've read so far. It's a pity the solicits were next to useless! I'd only preordered the main title and World of Flashpoint. Nothing else grabbed me from those cryptic haiku!

I haven't listened to the episode yet, but did they have anything to say about the DC #1s hardcover scheduled for December? They're apparently trying to cover all possible bases!

I definitely think you need to read more than one issue to get drawn into it. The first one I read was decent, but it wasn't until I'd read four in a row that I felt compelled to order that omnibus and a bunch of trades. Your best bet would be to pick up a recommended trade first, or a bunch of back...

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered volumes 12-23, plus the Art of Usagi Yojimbo and the Yokai GN. They're not much more than the cost of a single issue!

Surprised by Usagi Yojimbo

I've always tended to skip right past Usagi in Previews, despite Bob and John's praise in the podcasts. With the arrival of the huge special edition hardcover collection in this month's Previews and hearing yet more raves in various podcasts, I decided it was time to check it out. I started reading ...
