Is this a new comic? If so, what is it called?

I just got my March shipment and I got it in the previous shipment, so it must have come out in February. The indicia inside lists the official title as "Beauty: An Astro City Character Special." It's kind of like the Samaritan Special they did a while back. Just one issue focusing on one character. And it was really really good.

Thanks for the info. I will be on the look out for it. I love Astro City.

What do you mean by a bound set???

One of the only full runs I've read in years is 52 the whole thing after Infinite Crisis and regardless of what anyone says I love that *SQUEE*! It's great to see unused characters getting their

52 was excellent. Very well done, a good read. Countdown has been lackluster.

I think by bound he means a service that binds comics together as a hardcover. google "library binding".

I picked up the recent hardcover edition of this. It was the first time I read it. Very good. I enjoyed it.

Just started reading Groo #111, before I fell asleep last night.

It's so great, and I'm sad there's less than 25 issues left for me to read.

Oh, and I'm pondering re-reading Miracleman #1-24.

I agree, only read the first few issues of Countdown but lost interest really quickly. Whats the next weekly one coming out after Countdown? A mate was banging on about it the other day, it does sound a little more interesting.

The next DC weekly after Countdown is Trinity.

it will be by Busiek (I think) and Bagley. It's gonna focus on the dynamic and the relationship between Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

superman-prime · Post by **superman-prime** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 2:22 pm

Bagley ill read at least the first few, but countdown has been off and on so lets hope for no more weeklys

So I have started something VERY new to me.

I started reading Green Lantern Rebirth. (Big ups to my man Lightning)

I am enjoying it..... I really have no back story on the characters (execpt for stuff I learned from watching the cartoon as a kid).

I really like how a bunch of the other DC characters are in the story.

The art is good and the story is interesting. I wish I knew the back story on all the different Green Lanterns and the Paralax back story, but I am enjoying it.

From what I remember, GL: Rebirth did a good of catching you up on everything that you need to know about what came before.

Yes, I am getting some of the back story, it just took me a few issues to get the different GLs, there is like 4 of them.
