Now that's really a waste fo space which could have been devoted to more of what happened in the dcu in the missing year because they're concentrating on squat all as it is. I'm dread to imagine the ammended biographies of the lesser heroes ahead. And then there’s how special ed the revised history of the DCU is as th back up story.

And with them getting unqualified success by keeping folks in the dark, why would they want to get around to a reveal? If they gave you the answers now, why would you keep reading?

How can DC know one way or another whether this will be successful or not? We aren't even halfway through the "event" yet -- folks might want to wait for just a bit longer before deciding whether it's an "unqualified success" or not (and whether there will be demand for a sequel). I myself only bought the first few issues, and have decided that it will inevitably be collected into trade, so I'll put my money towards books that might not make it into trade (Manhunter, I'm looking at you - and Atom, you too) in the hopes that my pitiful $3 might be better spent convincing DC to keep publishing those books. 52 really isn't a "must have" book for me, I guess.

Mr. Higgins' experience may differ from other retailers. So who knows? To be fair, Ryan Higgins is one retailer while DC has sales data from a ton of retailers.
