Flashpoint #5 is a book I won't be ordering from DCBS. I'm going to pick it up at the LCS, I have no desire to be dodging spoilers on the internet for the 6-days it takes my weekly-shipped books to make their way to me (let alone the delay for people with bi-weekly or monthly shipping). Well worth the $1.60 discount I'll miss out on.

This is actually interesting. See if they can pay it off though.

I get all my event-type books at the LCS for just this reason. I thought #1 was okay. It really just drove home that I'm not very steeped in DC lore because I didn't appreciate how cool these alt-versions of the DCU characters were. I just kind felt like I wasn't in on the joke. And I thought the art was inconsistent (not terrible...it just varied from page to page).
Still....its only a 5 issue series, so that's a pretty low commitment if something neat might happen.

In related news, Marvel gets curious DC readers to try their books because DC only published one.
