Green Lanterns: Rebirth #1
Superman: Rebirth #1
Action Comics #957
Detective Comics #934
They have all been good. I couldn't get:
Aquaman: Rebirth #1

Wonder Woman: Rebirth #1
Those were sold out this past Wednesday.
Do comics companies do like a one year edition which has all the comics that release every month for a particular title over the course of one year?
I'm not sure. I do know they have trade paper backs of one particular story that releases after that storyline wraps up.
I wish they would just do one book a year with all the issues from one title. Assuming there is a new comic every month. Would make collecting so much easier.
I got three more Rebirth books today:
- Titans: Rebirth #1
- Green Lanterns #1
- Batman #1
Green Arrow and Superman got damaged in shipping so my local store couldn't sell them.
I also got Action Comics #958 and Detective Comics #935 in June.
I got three DC Rebirth books yesterday.
- Justice League: Rebirth #1
- Batman #2
- Green Lanterns #2
Soon I will have to decide which books I want to keep reading because they are releasing a lot of books each week good thing some of them are Monthly instead of Biweekly.
Looking foward to the Young Animals line from DC Comics.
Each book will be in the DC Universe loosely.
Mother Panic is set in Gotham and will reference some of the other DC characters but it would be similar to old Vertigo when they had DC characters and was loosely connected to the DC Universe but would mainly just interact with each other.
Doom Patrol launches on September 14th.
Shade and Cave Carson launch in October.
Mother Panic launches in November.
