so much for a light month. i'm surprised kevin smith has a follow up batman series so quick. this must be a new record for him. i think i'm getting a little more excited for blackest night now. the event seems to be a little more "tame" and "contained" compared to the last few crisis' we had to go through. i really hope the price increase on some of my titles won't hurt me either.

Buying for sure:
Nothing.

Might buy:
The Flash Chronicles, vol. 1 TPB (though seems a bit sparse stories-wise to merit the price).
Icon: A Hero's Welcome TPB (I liked reading Icon back in the 90s).

[John Pannozzi]

That Bad Girls TP looks interesting. Anyone here like it at all?

[Xurk]

BLACKEST NIGHT #2
GREEN LANTERN #45
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #39
BOOSTER GOLD #23 - I've been thinking of not dropping this title after all, seeing as it looks like I'm dropping enough other titles [or they're ending by themselves]... and hey, this is a fun and easy read anyway

Maybe, maybe not ---------
BLACKEST NIGHT: BATMAN #1
BLACKEST NIGHT: SUPERMAN #1

I can't wait for "Blackest Night" to kick off, but I'm not planning on reading all of the tie-ins just for the sake of it... so if these are interesting and contribute to the main event enough, I might pick them up.

[wonderfly]

I'm definitely going to get the following:

Jonah Hex #46
Astro City: The Dark Age Book 3 #4
Ex Machina #44
and...wait, no Scalped this month?!?

Total Price Tag, (with store discount): $7.97

On the "maybe I'll get it, maybe I won't" list:

Gotham City Sirens #3: Hmmm...It's written by Paul Dini and is only $2.99 an issue? I'm tempted...
Adventure Comics #1: So it's not a straight up Legion title? Instead, we're getting Connor Kent and all sorts of present day continuity-ties, (like "Black Lantern Alexander Luthor?!?") And it's $3.99?!?
Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash: The Nightmare Warriors #3: I'd like to flip through the first issue before deciding...

[Airship Captain]

JONAH HEX #46

I guess I'm officially done with DC if they ever decide to cancel this title.
