The first of THREE installments this week! This DC edition features Batman, Batman: Cacophony, Final Crisis: Secret Files, and Justice League of America.
We sell Manhunter, in trades, to one person. He made me take them home and read them, so I could discover how great it was. Likewise, Checkmate sold exactly one copy (to me) while Rucka was on the book.
As a manager of a comic shop, it sometimes hurts to point out great books, have people look at them, seem interested, then put them back and grab a copy of Fathom.
Agreed. This needed to be done as a supplement. However, I feel that there could be a lot done to make Morrison's R.I.P. and Final Crisis both a lot more reader-friendly.
Sadly, we couldn't sell JSA if Mark Millar wrote it. As for GL, I'm sure it was great, but it seems like a no-brainer lately. Geoff Johns' machinations are leading to something huge, and it's been great since Sinestro Corps War, but I don't find myself caring that much, personally.
I can't stand Final Crisis. So much so I don't even know how to put it down anymore, it just sucks for me and is nothing like I had hoped a DC Final Crisis would be. Does it even tie in yet to the other Crisis stuff? Why not? Between that and Batman, DC for me fell from 1st place in comics to disgrace in comics. Marvel is making them look silly... again. Morrison has been highly overrated ever since his X-Men. I love his non main stream work.

Wow thats bad, because guido's right, it is a good book.
but I guess if it dosen't say Batman, Green lantern or Final crisis in the title nobodies interested in DC product
...see Manhunter, Blue Beetle, Jonah Hex, Checkmate....

I mean I used to order it, and no one showed any interest whatsoever in buying it. So I stopped ordering it.
