A few thoughts:
— Neat idea. I’m especially eager to read the Bruce Wayne piece, of course, and it’s great to see the Aunt May/Doc Ock “romance” get some, er, love.
— Man, I miss the Elongated Man and Sue Dibny. They got maybe the rawest deal in DC history.
— The issue is due to ship Aug. 12, give or take a week or so. It’ll be at comics shops, as usual, but you can also get it directly through TwoMorrows. (Click here to pre-order.)
