Just read the "Mighty Crusaders" special - waste of money and time. I hadn't picked up any of the other materials that had come before, but as a way to jump into the new Archie characters, it really falls short. The plot to get them together to form a team is horribly contrived and happens way too quickly. There are a few cameos from other DC characters just to remind us where we are, but it still doesn't feel like the DCU. After this special I don't think I can even pick one on the team that I like or find intriguing. In fact several of them are simply unlikable to me.
I'll have to pass on the series.

^I also have no idea what # Adventure is on anymore. I probably will never really.

This was enough to make sure I didn't get this. Appreciate the warning, Drake!

If REBELS gets cancelled, I'm blaming YOU, pardner!
I -am- still enjoying this series in spite of St. Aubin apparently taking over the art duties from Matt Clark more or less permanently ...The upcoming Brainiac/Dox/B3 storyline looks great.

I do not know about you but I though this was just a great deal of fun that gave me a big smile across my face the whole time; and some of Hellcats dialogue was just hilarious.
If it continues in this vein then the next five weeks are going to be very good indeed.

Stuorstew, there is a conversation on Heralds in the "Are you a fan of Patsy Walker?" thread--we totally would love to hear more of your thoughts on the series there!
Also, I saw you're collecting 'Codebreakers', a series I'm not familiar with. You should definitely review it somewhere! (New thread, 'Any recommendations?' thread if its a good one or 'Random Review Corner').

My store occasionally puts out free books in the form of back issues too beat up to sell, so I grabbed a Moench/Sienkiewicz era Moon Knight gratis.
Chew #11 (one of the best books you're probably not reading) Doom Patrol #11 (I looked before I leapt with this one) Booster Gold #33 (giving this a chance) Superman/Batman #72 (It's Paul, and my shop was out of the Annual) Secret Six #22 (Gotta be good) Brightest Day #3 (This had better impress me, or it's done) and... Power Girl #1 (the AH cover)
