That Amanda Conner Zatanna bust looks nice, but I don’t know about $60 for it.
Good lord all those Flashpoint mini’s, DC just loves their event books.
But these mini’s replace the regular books so I’m all for them! Crazy ideas too!
Wow, that’s a lot of Flashpoint minis–did Blackest Night have that many?
Who cares about the Flashpoint Minis (although they could be really funny)…
We should care about the Marv Wolfman New Teen Titans Omnibus and about Absolute Sandman 5…
I’m trying to decide if all the Flashpoint stuff is a good thing or bad thing. I mean, the story is supposed to be about altered timelines and stuff like that right? So, maybe having all these minis to show what’s happened to the universe in apparently great detail is a good thing. On the other hand, that’s a whole hell of a lot of comics to buy if you want to keep up.
Bring me my scales!
Flashpoint almost seems to be a testing ground for new writers.
