Well I have recently picked up #10+11 and #12 just today and I was totally 'wowed'! After only reading a few issues this book has crept into my Top 10. R.E.B.E.L.S. has got itself a new reader! :) Also can you guys review Super Hero Squad#1? I bought it today and enjoyed it. It's great to be a kid again! :)

I guess my question was did DC build in the price of the rings with $3.99 books. Apparently they either gave you more pages or gave them free as was the case with Superman/Batman. PS...any comic store who sells the rings are sleazy.

[comicculturewarrior]

I think the extra pages were to help people who have never read REBELS catch up with the story. It was a good call on DC's part to do that. This issue was the first REBELS book for the majority of people who bought it. Easing those readers into the story without overwhelming them was a smart thing to do. And hopefully people felt that they got a satisfying story and will stick with the title. Just my opinion though.

True dat, but why the extra pages? I'm not comlaining, just curious. Booster Gold usually has the Blue Beetle second feature but didn't this time instead opting for a bigger Booster feature. Outsiders was also extra sized and extra priced this week but the other tie-in, Superman/Batman, was not.

[comicculturewarrior]

REBELS did have 30 pages of art. That's probably why it was $3.99.

Bravo to DC for giving readers reason AND incentive for checking out some of their lower selling titles. I'm a little hazy on the reasoning for the $3.99 cover price, but R.E.B.E.L.S. was awesome and we're selling the hell out of these ring books. Doom Patrol second printing next week?! Home run for DC editorial.
