DC’s #0 issues have been a very mixed bag so far this month to say the least…And I have 3 of them on my list this week. I’m hoping they are good but then again these are the best 3 titles that DC is currently releasing so I have faith in the creators to not put out something as shitty and lazy as Deathstroke #0. I guess we’ll find out this weekend with our Capsule Reviews if that indeed is the case. Here is what I’m reading this week:
Batwoman #0
Supergirl #0
Wonder Woman #0
X-Factor #244
What are you getting this week?
The end is nigh. The final volume (before the sequel, yes, even Japan, will milk its customers) of one of the best mangas in recorded history.

I wonder how many people have purchased ALL SEVEN PRINTINGS of AvX #1?
I just looked at the sales data for DC 0 issues (http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2012/2012-09.html).
I noticed some interesting things:
1) Only 4 DC series improved their sales, and all of them are Batman spinoffs (Batman and Robin, Batman: The Dark Knight, Red Hood and the Outlaws, Catwoman). If DC made the 0 issues to gain some new readers (as I think), it clearly didn’t work.
1) WordPress bloggers and commenters pan Deathstroke and are enthusiast of Demon Knights. Then I look at the sales chart, and I see that Deathstroke sells more than Demon Knights.
2) Red Lanterns and Animal Man lost a lot of readers. Red Lanterns is no surprise, but everybody talks well about A – Man (me included), and I thought that this series had found its level… what’s happened?
