DC's first New 52 universe-wide event has been announced, with the villains taking over the DCU for a month and lots of one-shot titles out instead of their usual books. Here we go.What's catching people's eye?

Can't wait to see this blow up in DC's face. I was listening to a Comics podcast and they did the maths and worked out that if you only read the core Superman, Batman and Justice League titles and wanted to read all of these then your monthly bill will increase by about $100.
That said, I'll probably pick up Forever Evil #1, Joker, Two-face, Riddler, Zod, The Ventriloquist, Joker's Daughter, Harley Quinn, Soloman Grundy, The Creeper.
So yeah, I guess they've got me.

Yeah I pretty much want all of them except swamp thing so I'll just skip that month and wait for the omnibus.
cant justify the fact that every one is $4 (£3) even with the dumb cover gimick.
Only one I know for sure I will get in single issue is Joker.

I was really excited about this but when I found out the multiple issues of certain titles I was pretty annoyed. I don't even mind the increased $ so much, but four issue of Batman? Four of B&R? etc. That's annoying. However, although resenting that has spoiled my a excitment a little, I am looking forward to it still.
I think this is a test for those rumoured weekly series that were being talked about a while ago.

Looking at it I've decided on pulling quite alot but I was looking more at what appealed to me team/character wise rather than paying any attention to .1s which dont relate to the title they're .1s of, like Batgirl's issue being in THe Dark Knight and Stormwatch's in a GL book.

Oh right. That is mental. Also, this new Ventriloquist is, IMO, crap. Not a shadow of the two previous ones.

I always wait until the solicitations come out physically in Previews so yesterday was the first time I had a proper look at DC's and I really don't see what all the complaining is about. Ok, yes, some titles are coming out multiple times that month but many titles aren't coming out at all so I reckon in the majority of cases it's gotta roughly balance out right? And even if it's a little over, it's only for one month.

I can't believe we've not discussed this: Nightwing! Poor ol' Dick. What do you think will happen to him?
My theory: At the end of, or during, Forever Evil Nightwing will get sucked into, or escape through, Pandora's box to another universe. In this case he'll end up, slightly in the past of Earth 2 where he'll see they need a Batman and become the Dark Knight we've already seen running around that universe.
