MY TWO CENTS: Great stuff this July! Pretty sad Astro City cover. Great Batman figure to put next to its Kingdom Come Superman counterpart, which also costs US$100! I'm a die-hard collector but it's very painful to shell out a hundred bucks for an action figure, these better be the most ass-kicking figures/statues EVER! The Black Terror cover reminds me of the color scheme Dave Gibbons used in Watchmen and it does have a slight Black Freighter vibe going for it. Absolutely wonderful! Finally the 12-year old in me loves that Green Hornet cover 'cause it has a "nekkid lady" in it. Cool stuff any way you slice it.
