Perry, I swear somewhere you discussed 'The Casting' but that must be back in the weekly reader threads...and I just haven't gone to find it.
I had to go to a SECOND shop to find a copy, as my LCS sold out, and the copy I did get was the last one, that I had to ask for since I saw it behind the counter (the other worker was reading it the shift prior), and the corner is slightly bent (VF+ now), but I got it!!
Looking ahead, and knowing that after issue #1 of Metal, all the rest are $2.99, here's the 'damage' I'm expecting:
Metal #1
Metal #2
Metal #3
Batman Lost #1
Hal Jordan & GLC #32
Metal #4
Hawkman Found #1
Metal #5
Metal #6
However...we have the Batman: The Red Death, Murder Machine, Dawnbreaker, Drowned, Merciless, Devastator.
6 one-shots.
Hmm...I won't lie, I damn near bought everything during 'Flashpoint'-and there was some damned good stuff out of there! The Aquaman, Wonder Woman minis were really good. As was Batman. Superman, not so much. Skipped Cyborg stuff. I think there was some other 1 shot stuffs that I may or may not have read. But on the whole, good stuff.
These are just one-shots. Am I curious? OH hell yeah.
As I'm dropping Green Arrow (I mean it! I'm done with it!! I have to quit you!!), there is some more money back in the pocket. Aquaman and Deathstroke went down to only monthly publishing, so..in a way...I'm not buying any more than I once did...and I'll have saved that money up to this point....so it's not like I"m buying anymore...
