LOL didn't say which month this would be in but at least said they're coming.

I read the first issue of that and decided to wait for the trade. Looks like I made the right call. :lol:

The Order I read them in was:

FC #1-3
Superman Betond: #1-2
FC #4
LOTW #1-3
FC #6-7

I would have to say that the 5 hours spent reading it was some of the sweetest time I've spent reading comics in a long time.
I have really liked the Marvel stuff from the last year but it has gotten so bloody depressing that I was really hoping for something that was just a big huge concept superhero slobberknocker and FC was exactly that, IMO.
The Superman Beyond isssues were probably my favorite and the 3-d effect really made it seem like we were in a complete other realm of reality.
The only complaint that I have is the pacing of the last issue. I think it would have been a bit cooler if they would have just let it unfold in a more standard , IE: chronological, format.

It was definitely they way to read it. I wish I would have got the two Batman issues but even then I really didn't miss them. Or any of the other tie-ins to tell the truth. I pretty much viewed it as a Superman story with the rest of the DCU as guest stars and I think that might have helped as well.

I will say that I can't imagine trying to make sense of this in somewhat monthly installments. It really needs to be taken in all at once.

Oh, and I am far from a Morrison fanboy, in case anyone was wondering. I just really liked this for what it was and I'd say it succeeded in my mind about 90% of the way, which in this day and age, is still pretty good.

Got my notice. :-D

Shows a 2/27 scheduled delivery. I actually wouldn't mind a Monday delivery. I have one trade, one manga, and one single issue comic to finish from last months box.

Wow. It looks like I might get my BOC before the weekend. Unless UPS decides to delay it until Monday, like they do half the time. UPS seems to be a day slower than DHL was for some reason.

Still no notice.

Either MOC's e-mail is constipated or they've picked a horrible month to slack off.

My BOC should be in tomorrow.

I won't get to read it for like another week though.

by **GOSD** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 9:58 am

My BOC will be here on Monday.

You got a MOC notice? Or is this DCBS?

by **Gladiator X** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 11:01 am

Still no notice for me from MOC either.

by **JL_Amato** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 11:24 am

I still haven't gotten a notice from BOC either but I don't remember getting one last month either.

Yeah, sometimes I get the notice the same day the BoC shows up.

I expect that I will get my books next Tuesday as usual.

by **bkthomson** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 12:14 pm

My BoC just showed up at home though I had no notice.

Thank you Midnight migration to allow me to working from home!

Going through my box. MOC sent me a copy of Guardians of the Galaxy #8, with a best copy we could find notice.
