    - No. They're glorified "back issues." The only comic that matters is the one that's out this week. (no text) · Blue Beetle · Sat Jul 05, 2008 at 05:10:16 pm EDT

- Possibly, but not probably until the comics match up · Nitz the Bloody · Fri Jul 04, 2008 at 02:13:20 pm EDT
- Yes, it already does · mjyoung · Fri Jul 04, 2008 at 10:04:17 am EDT
