Catch the Justice League United wave! (possibly could be spoilery)

[Flightpath07]

Hello, i thought I would re-start this old thread http://alphaflight.net/showthread.ph...-Canada!/page6 here with a snazzy new title, try to get people talking about Justice League United, with its five part (or is that six part) opening story entitled "Justice League Canada".

I just read issues 0 and 1, and I couldn't be more pleased. So far, the creative team has handled Canada with class and respect.

The team is fun, they are in trouble over their heads right away, and...oh!...the humour!

So far, my only complaint has been that a couple of the panels were drawn with the people far away and tiny, making it a bit hard to see what is actually going on.

Anyone else read these issues, or planning on it? What do you think?

I haven't been this excited about comics since Vindicator burst out of the ground and attacked the X-Men with a maple leaf on his chest! (Well, he didn't actually attack them WITH the maple leaf, but you get the idea...)

I also have seen on Jeff Lemire's twitter account https://twitter.com/JeffLemire that there is a Canadian variant cover to Justice League United issue 1, which i am hoping to eventually track down!

Well, after Superman II, it's good that you specified.

The comments thread mentions Alpha Flight. (Somebody called 'Ganymede' says 'Worked for Alpha Flight'; anyone we know? Reference to Guardian's first resurrection?)

Ha HA! I have managed to scour the internet (and the internet is a VERY dirty place, so it needs a lot of scouring!) and locate some reasonably-priced issues of the Canadian Variant of Justice League United # 1, with it's big and splashy "Justice League Canada" headline across it!

I have ordered two, one to lovingly handle and ooh and aah over, and one to stash away in my Swiss bank account (which is under my mattress). So excited, I can't wait! I shall promise to add an excited photo of me with my prizes when they arrive.

Anybody who wishes to grab one, head on over to mycomicshop.com and let them hook you up!

[Le Messor]

Is under your mattress any cleaner than where you got them from?

I've shopped with Mycomicshop before, and had a good experience.
I think I recently had an opportunity to go to their B & M store, too (they seem to be attached to a comic shop in Dallas), but it fell through.

Yeah I had no issues getting one, my comicbook store ordered only the Canadian variant and they still have lots left.

My LCS says they had to sell fifty issues in order to get any variants shipped to them. Sucks to live in a smaller town, my LCS got no variants; not even close.

[Le Messor]

That's kind of the point of variants - to 'force' retailers to buy many more copies than they need.

It's part of why I hate them so.

[Flightpath07]

It doesn't work. It "forces" me to go and buy them online, but it doesn't "force" my LCS to do anything different.

[Le Messor]

I wouldn't expect it to. I imagine that it does 2 things:
Appeals to really, really motivated completists.
Creates bad blood for everyone else (and some of the above), retailers and fans alike.

On another thread (which i have lost track of temporarily), I promised to post photos of me smiling with my copy of the Canadian Variant of Justice League United issue 1, when it arrived.

Well, it arrived. And so, I will.

VERY happy with it (both of them, as I bought two copies).
