Okay, I’m officially not liveblogging the previews this month, \u00a0haven’t got nearly enough time. But. BUT. I reserve the right to bitch about stupid things:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Time Masters: Vanishing Point #1
\nOn Sale July 21 – 1 of 6 – 32pg, FC, $2.99
\nWritten by Dan Jurgens. Art and Cover by Dan Jurgens and Karl Story <\/strong><\/p>\n

TIME MASTERS: VANISHING POINT #1 launches \u201cThe Search for Batman,\u201d as Rip Hunter puts together a high-powered band of Time Masters to travel through time in search of the World\u2019s Greatest Detective. But can even the combined might and skill of Superman, Green Lantern and Booster Gold help the Time Master pinpoint where Batman went at the conclusion of FINAL CRISIS? Information that could keep Vanishing Point from tearing itself apart?<\/p>\n

This six-issue mini-series, a companion piece to BATMAN: THE RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE and a story chock full of clues that point toward the next major DCU event, hits in July from writer artist Dan Jurgens with a variant cover by Chris Sprouse and Karl Story (the artists on BATMAN: RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE #1). How can you say no?<\/p>\n

(VIA<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A companion series to back-up players from Grant Morrison’s Batman? Set to end 3 months after the story it compliments? Uggggggh. I don’t even want to order this. I’ve got nothing against Jurgens, but this ill-advised, poorly timed, and entirely superfluous little mini-series is just gonna clutter up my racks. Forget this.<\/p>\n

\nEdit: Okay, one more<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Marvel is reprinting the 1960s MARVELMAN<\/strong> stuff in hardcover, black and white, 160 pages at a time, and charging 35 American Dollars for the privilege. \u00a0Is anyone going to buy this? Anyone at all? It’s so very, very expensive.<\/p>\n

AND, in case that’s not good enough, they’re doing a 6 issue ‘best of’ reprinting in black and white for four bucks an issue as well.<\/p>\n

Is it just me or is the pricing on this totally out to lunch? More than 20 cents a page for black and white reprints?<\/p>\n

I think I’ll be counting on reorders for this one.<\/p>\n

And not needing them.<\/p>\n
