Drawing the Line at $2.99

The Never Ending Battle to Make it Sound Like $2.99 is a bargain!
I kid, I kid.  But I can't help but be amused that $2.99 is a big selling point for DC.  Why didn't they try to hold the line at $2.50 or $2.00?  Well, better late than never, one supposes.  But at $3.00, it was already getting a bit rich for my blood.

I have to say:  I like Wonder Woman's new outfit much better once you ditch the jacket, but I still miss the red boots. 

Also:  I haven't read Brightest Day yet, so I'm not entirely comfortable with Martian Manhunter adopting pants but eschewing a shirt.  I kind of liked the One Year Later redesign, but I guess that was just me...

And an additional note:  Hey, look!  Its the JLA's original seven prominently displayed in a house ad!  With Barry and Hal and everything!  If they can get Wonder Woman's boots squared, we may be back to cooking with gas.

    Her outfit does seem more sensible.

    I agree. I'm curious if its a longterm change, though. That other outfit is pretty iconic to the public.

    There is no way the WW costume survives a year. I'm sure they are already thinking about how to return her to normal after JMS bailed on the book.

    Agreed. I kind of suspect that was part of the storyline, but as I haven't read more than one issue of the new JMS, I couldn't say for sure.
