Bigger price for (I guess) more pages, but what a load of tosh. Superman in trousers and looking decidedly ordinary - goes to cross it off my #2zies list.

As for Batgirl+Detective Comics - surely if the whole idea of this reboot thing was to draw in new readers, should DC have started all their series with a #0 origin issue.

I think that the idea was that the comics hit the ground running. 52 origin issues would mean the current time line all starting at exactly the same time or all the books being an origin or a flashback to an origin.

The reboot seems to be drawing in new readers (how long they stay is another matter), but to keep readers you need to make the comics worth reading i.e. not too many splash pages so that it can be read in 2 seconds flat and keep the story within one title and one title only. Finding out that you need issues of a another title you didn't sign up for is one way of putting readers off.

Was Action more expensive? I though it was a $2.99 title like the rest (JL excepted) I've only read Detective so far and that was the regular price but did have 24 pages of strip.

Hard to believe that Hellblazer is now the highest numbered DC title (yeah alright Vertigo) at least until Superman, Action, Batman and Detective revert back to the original numbers for the next big anniversary milestones.

iiuc out of the 52 there are 2or3 $3.99 comics, the rest being $2.99.

and maybe my #0 issues were such a hot idea. ..................
