Hey Guys,

I just found the April DC solicits up at Comic Related so I'm planning my previews recordings already since I'm off to Queensland for a couple of weeks as of the 21st...

I don't want to break my previews episode streak!

If you want to see them check them out here:

I like the Darwyn Cooke Batman B&W statue...... now to determine if I have room for it....

Great, DC is using the Marvel method of solicitation; vague bullet points.

Bad: With Marvel including free digital copies with each book, paying an extra dollar for the digital copy seems pretty lousy.

Good: It looks like a lot of the collected trades of the New 52 contain 7 or 8 issues, that's pretty cool! Feels like a bit more value per trade.

I suppose I should find the time to finish my March order form and get that sent in sometime this week...

I feel much better knowing I'm not the only one.

I upload mine as early as possible & edit the order as necessary.

The reason for this is that if you order any items that may be allocated (like a limited bust or an IDW Artist's Edition) DCBS will fill orders based on the time the order was made until they run out of items.

You do your order late & you may miss out.

If you only order regular comics that tend to be printed to order this is generally not a problem, but it applies to me as I frequently order limited items.

I figured that was true. I've been trying to submit earlier, but I'm switching to trades and it's kind of a pain to try and figure out the best jumping off point. Finding the time to sit down and figure all of that out is proving difficult.

I think I got bit by submitting my order late on one item in about 12 months of using DCBS, so it's not a big thing for me.

I also like to do my entire order in Excel as I find the website to be a bit clumsy to edit orders.
