Me too. The art was amazing and is what convinced me to get the book.

My shop didn't have it this week, but I hope to get it ASAP. You guys have said good things about Hickman, & I love secret histories, so I'm intrigued.

I was at the comic shop the other day, and I totally forgot to pick it up.

I can't wait until I get my books from DCBS next Friday so I can read this!

great issue, but the nightman part reminds me that you have to pay the troll toll if you want to get into this boys hole

[Rockman]

great issue. one question though

[spoiler]So this is in continuity right? I assume so but the inclusion of Mr. Richards and Mr. Stark was odd.[/spoiler]

Probably answered in the other thread, but I can not find it right now.
