MONTH OF EVIL

The Trinity of War crossover running through the various Justice League titles in July and August, will apparently result in Evil triumphing over Good.
As a result, ALL the regular DC titles in September will be replaced by books featuring villains.
Instead of Batman, Superman, Green Lantern and Aquaman, we will be reading the adventures of Braniac, Man-Bat, Sinestro and others.

The main story will run through a 7-part series titled FOREVER EVIL, and will deal with the death of the Justice League.
Now these issues will really stand out on the shelves, because along with their title changes, the books that month will all be produced with special 3-D foil covers. DC is promising that this is an all-new technology never before used in comics and the samples I've seen look really amazing. Of course the down side is that every book that month will be $4.00,  which is an extra buck for more than half of them.

I am currently attempting to place my orders for these books, which isn't easy with the higher price and the title changes to take into account. Some of them are being done by the regular creative team and will fit into the continuity of the main title, while others may end up feeling like one-shot fill-ins. And of course there's the whole matter of speculator interest in the cool 3-D covers. I doubt that a 3-D Joker #1 comic will last long on the shelves past the first few hours of the day it arrives.

I will do my best to match titles up with members existing pull orders, but if there are any that look interesting to you, that fall out of your regular buying habits, PLEASE let me know as soon as possible.

A little busier this week, although the list would be shorter without all the variant covers listed. Only a couple #1's to mention and a reminder on the 2 hot DC storylines running this summer.

Hey, another Adventure Time mini-series. I know these things are popular, but its getting tough to tell them apart now(not as bad as Avengers yet)
Ghosted is a new Image title about a master thief tasked with stealing a ghost??
Sheltered is about a survivalist group preparing for the end times.
TMNT Animated is on the air and a whole new generation of kids are going to be snapping up the 4-colour adventures in comic form.
Batman #22 continues the Zero Year storyline that sold out issue #21 so quick.
Justice League #22 continues the Trinity of War storyline begun in Pandora #1 this week( still a few left if you missed it).

Marvel Share Your Universe is a freebie mag that seems to be pushing the Marvel Digital site, not really sure if I feel like promoting that here in my retail shop.
