Weekly Comics Discussion – August 24, 2011

The complete list of titles is available here. This is the last week before the big DC relaunch starts. Next week’s list from DC has a grand total of two titles: Flashpoint #5 and Justice League #1. The main Flashpoint miniseries and all 52 new #1 issues will be reviewed starting on the Labor Day weekend. We’re looking into setting up our own digital comics webstore through ComiXology that would allow readers to pick up titles through referrals, as with our Sunday Weekly Digital Disk columns.
