Re: DC COMICS JUNE 2006 SOLICITATIONS
I just noticed this... was wondering if anyone else did..... Except for 52 and DCU: Brave New World, it looks like all the books (with other exceptions) have been bumped up to 2.99. What a shame that the more the prices rise the less of both Marvel and DC I'll be getting. This month will be a house cleaning for Marvel.

Green Arrow #63 (big maybe) Green Lantern Corps #1 Flash: Fastest Man Alive #1 (maybe) Justice #6 Blue Beetle #4 (depends on 1st ish) DCU: Brave New World #1 Green Lantern #13 Ion #3 Damn, for someone who a little over a year ago was a devout Marvel zombie, DC has sure won me over.

Re: DC COMICS JUNE 2006 SOLICITATIONS
American Virgin #4 - am planning to give #1 a try this week, if I like, I'll be around for #4...
DMZ #8 Birds of Prey #95 Ex Machina #21 Batman #654 - Enjoyed the first part of this arc in Detective Comics... DCU: Brave New World #1 - for $1, what have I got to lose? (except a dollar!) Loveless #8 Secret Six #2 - have just read the Villains United trade and will definitely be picking this series up...
