In for Batman, Detective, Batman and Robin, and the Dark Knight.
On the fence with Nightwing.
Would like to give Superman and Green Lantern a try.
Also, the more I look at the list I’m thinking 19 or 20 instead of 15.
While true he can not have a corps by himself and true I’ll at the least try the red lantern series, I would readily cough up the dough to pre-order the next 24 issues of a Larfleeze series. Colin don’t you have some kind of pull where you could place a call to DC and make this happen?
im with you on the larfleeze thing orange lantern corps #1 sounds good to me.
He isn’t really a Corps and is part of the Rainbow Coalition book. Maybe a mini-series
I’m thinking like 15 off that list. Some may not make it to no.2 for me but look interesting enough to try. I will say though that it’s crap the red lanterns get a series and Larfleeze doesn’t. Easily my favorite from the recent GL storylines.
Out of all of those there’s probably about 5 that I would get! And isn’t batman the dark night only on issue 2 now wow that first run didn’t last long WTF!
I guess finch had better things to do.
