Details on DC Comics’ 100-Page Giants
I think these are a smart endeavor business wise. The traditional floppy market just isn't gonna thrive on it's own.
If they can make these for $4.99 why are we paying $3.99 for a floppy a quarter of the size?
>why are we paying $3.99 for a floppy a quarter of the size?
Because you do?

>Is called "Ghosts"
>Doesn't reprint any of their long series Ghosts
Stop direct linking to bleedinggrool
So these are basically to get new people into reading comics by having them buy prints of #1's and other material?
I was hoping that the Teen Titans Giant would continue the stories from the previous one.
It looks like it worked
>A Psychic Super Gorilla takes over the US and declares war on Canada
Yeah okay, you've got my money on this one DC. That's the kind of insane shit only comics can pull off.
>109848184
its a smart move, 5 bucks for five comics. Take the japanese model and work it. One or two original stories with three or four reprints
>Swamp Thing
>Ghosts
Weird choices but neat?
Hahaha what the fuck.
>Pre-New 52 Blue Beetle
My man.
Other than that, IDK I guess Simone's plot sounds neat.
>Going back to #1
I'm totally sure this will not confuse anyone who doesn't really know much about relaunches in comics who picked up the first few batches.
Laaaaaame. Well ok, Orlando doing Lord Death Man sounds neat I guess? Still sounds lame. Also they added in the issue where Harley kills a bunch of kids with hacked gameboys lmao.
Sounds good honestly. They sound kinda generic but I'm certain Russell and Taylor are gonna pull something crazy. Gail's.. idk.
I don't care about WW
Eh
Also pretty eh. Spectre one looks neat but Jurgens is on it so I'm not expecting much.
What is this shit? Does DC think anyone's going to buy these? Where is Superman? Where is the Justice League of America?
someone cut out the Russell stories plz
This and probably the Flash are the ones that got my interest.
They do, and there’s no point to floppies anyway anymore. You want a short, piecemeal story? Buy digital. Want a complete story? Buy digital or purchase the trade on Amazon. I like these for what they are overall, and how they piss on outdated comic shops.
For me there's a display near where they sell trading cards at check out. Not displayed well at all and I don't think they've changed issues in it since it debuted
DC having a decent idea? What's happening?
>Slade is hired to kill Jimmy
This will be fun.
goddamnit I can't believe I didn't caught that.
They are back
>if I say it it's true
You fucking children are insufferable. God forbid you prefer to actually own a copy of something you've bought rather than paying the same price for a leased digital copy.
I wish I could find you and punch you in the fucking face. You're a faggot and I wish you'd hang yourself on a live stream.
Learn English faggot.
You "didn't catch that". You could have said you "hadn't caught" that.
it didn't though. The sell outs were LCSs and online resellers buying them up.
Only like 8-page jernts.
>I only read digital leases so everyone should
Why are you such a cunt?
holy shit the seethe
>paying for comics
Gonna be a yikes from me, user.
You could say the same exact thing to the other user. Also kys.
>the seethe
Why are so many of you faggots ESL? Or was the some cute attempt at seeming more familiar with a meme than you are?
This still seems like a testing of the waters. Not that their comics are going anywhere, but these have to be outperforming expectations.
>Is called "Ghosts"
>Doesn't reprint any of their long series Ghosts
>Doesn't reprint anything from their long running horror comics
This is why I hate DC and their fucking capewank.
You're a dumb mark for buying overpriced floppies when you can buy much nicer trades, deluxes and omnibuses for less-per-issue.
DC has heard your complaint and has now cancelled Bronze Age House of Secrets omni 2
kek
arguing on an indonesian carpentry board
>Walmart is selling Otto Schmidt art
>Lord Death Man
I'm in.
Being a DC fan is suffering. Watching them incompetently imitating Marvel is a living hell.
going on 60 years now eh?
>completely ignores the immediacy aspect
Kill yourself kid I don't give a fuck that you think the only periodical comics should be quarterly released OGNs. They'd sell more floppies if they didn't pander to trade waiting faggots and focused on OGNs to satisfy that market.
rather bad planning by DC and the stores themselves
>Herley right there behind Wondy on the cover
>AMETHIST
Hot dog, DC has been knocking it out of the park lately!
