Not sure where to put this, here or in the Nu52 thread, but why not here as it is older stuff related!!!
 Grin

Comic's Alliance has all the April first issues of this event HERE if you want to see what's heading your way for that month. Looks like there will be 40 issues just for April (10 each week) and some look pretty damn enticing.

Looking over it I can see there are some very interesting books coming and I am going to have a hard time NOT getting the following (by week):

Week 1
The Question - by Rucka and Hammer? Damn
Speed Force - My newly resurrected Flash love tilts me towards this. Bedard and Grummett also help
Convergence #1 - Damn it. Will I get sucked into this? No love here for Lobdell, so hopefully that will keep me away

Week 2
Aquaman - Just because of the hook hand. Been a long time
Convergence #2 - No Lobdell? Crap, so much for using him as a shield
(Do like the covers of JLI and Paralax, though)

WEEK 3
New Teen Titans - Because New Teen Titans. My New Teen Titans.
Batman and the Outsiders - Because Batman and the Outsiders, man!! COME ON!!!
Wonder Woman - Because of that art. Looks interesting
The Flash - See above. And Dan Abnett
Hawkman - Because of Jeff Parker (and remembering John's Hawkman)
Legion Of Super-Heroes - Because, again, Legion Of Super-Heroes
Swamp Thing - Wein and Kelly Jones? Sheeet
Convergence #3 - Damn it, this is getting hard (And yes, that's what she said)
Huge week as I want 8 of the 10 this week!!!!

Week 4
Justice Society - Another Dan Abnett issue and an issue with the JSA!!
Detective Comics - B cause Sin kev itz  Grin
Crime Syndicate - Earth 3 goodness
Freedom Fighters - Even with that cover  Undecided
Booster Gold - Jurgens and Booster. Booster and Jurgens. Yes and Yes
Convergence #4 - *sigh* ... what to do what to do

That is a total of 19 of the 40 that I am interested in. Oh boy, time to call Dave and convince him to get this event!!

Dangit.  I literally JUST talked the wife into not spending any extra money this month so we can knock out the credit card debt.  What am I going to do?Huh?

I haven't even sat down to go through the full list to add up titles I want...but oh man...I may run into trouble here!

I think I'll get the absolute 'needs' first, and if I enjoy, just get the LCS to supply me with some of the other ones I'll put into a 'Group 2' purchase. Smiley

I can't wait to see what your "needs" issues will consist of.  Smiley

A) Don't tell her and buy allll you want - Probably not the best thing for a marriage  Cheesy
B) Convince her to wait another 2 months to get the cards down - You were just premature in your thinking
C) Negotiate a deal of money for sexual favors - Works best the other way around usually
D) Get another card just for comics that she doesn't know about - See A's response

Oh, you say I have you beat, but by you buying less, I think it is the other way around  Grin

But honestly, I just don't see me buying all that I am interested in, but damn sure nice to think about. Dave hasn't called back yet, but I am hoping he is going in strong.

Lol.  Yeah I'm not following ANY of that advice!
Fortunately I just remembered that the charge doesn't hit until the end of Feb.  That's after our self imposed 30 days expires.  Whew!

Looks like my boy Dave is trying to work out a deal with Comic Kings (one of the eight local shops around here) to see if he can get a great deal on all of them. I told him if that doesn't work, he still has 7 more tries

Are they replacing their regular titles for the month with all of these Convergence titles?  Similar to Villains month?

Yep.
Making the move from NY to Cali ... so they hired a bunch of b-list artists (and some good older ones) and made this to fill the time for the move. The main story, Convergence, also weekly, does seem like a cool story, so I am truly hoping Dave gets at least that if I don't.
