Thanks for the insight from a new reader! I forget sometimes that those things that are 'same old same old' for me and those of my ilk might be something fresh, new, and exciting for those of us comic collectors that aren't so jaded. <br /><br />I'm really glad that you liked the issue and that you're leaping into the Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546900229885548577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435440800985899522.post-77963615884109769922011-09-02T15:53:42.941-07:002011-09-02T15:53:42.941-07:00As a (fairly) new reader of comics, I feel like I ...As a (fairly) new reader of comics, I feel like I should throw in an alternate perspective. I've been reading comics for only a few months, and those were all trade paperbacks (right term?); this was my first venture into individual issues. Like FutureWife, the cost per page seems a bit high (and I'm NOT a fan of the advertisements) but I didn't experience the let-down that everyoneStephanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435440800985899522.post-28703130328720115342011-09-02T10:57:56.178-07:002011-09-02T10:57:56.178-07:00Well thanks Matt, and nah I think you're direc...Well thanks Matt, and nah I think you're directly on base. I know a lot of people have been saying this issue should've gave us more and seemed like more of a gamechanger, but it really just gave us a cocky GL, the same Batman, a Superman that you know will join them after a 2-5 page conversation and a Cyborg that now we're just waiting to see how he becomes Cyborg, which isn't Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435440800985899522.post-24520929373293421752011-09-02T10:30:57.846-07:002011-09-02T10:30:57.846-07:00Snell, clearly you're stalking me because that...Snell, clearly you're stalking me because that describes my FutureWife to a T.
