There are also two graphic novels from Scholastic on sale: Ghostopolis for €2.69 and The Dumbest Idea Ever! for €1.79: https://www.comixology.eu/comics-sal..._id=8061&lang=. Apparently, valid for all of September.
Unless ATDrake says otherwise, this weekly DC sale is the weakest one in a while. Other than Penguin: Pain & Prejudice (and maybe Gotham Central), nothing looks interesting to me. |

I'd actually tentatively recommend Gotham Central out of the DC sale lot. While I've only read a few scattered issues/arcs of it, I recall it had some pretty solid and fairly well done police procedural-type costumed-crime-coping storytelling from Brubaker and Rucka, who were fairly good at doing that sort of thing back in the day (I used to get other independent graphic novels that Brubaker had done on the strength of his writing in the crime/suspense subgenre, and ISTR what I read of Rucka's solo run on the main Batbooks was also generally fairly good). That said, there are a lot of issues that might become cheaper if the collections go on sale, and it's older stuff which probably isn't urgent to get unless you really love the character of Renee Montoya and want to see more of her pre-52 backstory (apparently a lot of what happened in the GC series was a direct buildup to her story-arc in the 52 maxiseries and significantly influenced her character direction), or just enjoy police procedurals* set in a street-level superhero world. * And if you really wanted to see superhero police work, Alan Moore's Top 10 might be a better bet, unless you were really attached to the notion of seeing Batfamily stuff centred around how the non-powered peripheral support team goes about doing things. |

Thanks a lot! Gotham Central looks all right, but actually the previous Brubaker sale was more tempting.
Today my kiddo was taking a look at the comics I purchased for him, while I was working on my computer. He came very excited to tell me, pointing at Harley Quinn: "Look! She is very beautiful! BUT she is also bad!!!". He was struck by the discovery. I guess he didn't know that someone who was beautiful could be evil at the same time. Oh my. What a very long road lies ahead of us. ![]() |

A new tier has been added to the Valiant Groupees Bundle. For a minimum of $50 you get the Valiant Mystery Box of Comic Collectibles, which is... mysterious. Shipping costs are not included, so you should probably abstain if you don't live in the US.
By the way, should we save for September 26? DC has announced that day will be Batman Day 2015. |

Holy crap. Why so many sales? Is there a holiday in the US right now?
I've read the first volume of 52 and enjoyed it very much. Thanks again for the recommendation, ATDrake. So far I like all of the different subplots, and I am looking forward to see what happens next. Now that I've met Montoya, I have taken a closer look at Gotham Central. And the more I look at it, the more I think it's something I would enjoy. (I like mysteries, and police crime drama). I am tempted to pick up the first 10 issues, but I am already overspending, so it'll have to wait until another sale. |

Yeah, it's Labour Day this long weekend in Canada (and presumably also the US, minus a "u"). Glad you're enjoying 52. It's a nifty read, and one of the best storylines to come out from DC over the past decade, IMHO. |

Those Atomic Robo books are free from the publisher, in Comixology under a different twice under different publishers, were in a kickstarter (, and bundled?); so I wouldn't recommend buying them in this sale.

Want another 25% off your Marvel and DC comics (and other companies that use iOS apps for purchases)? PayPal/ebay has $100 iTunes cards for $75.
