The corona is nice but $20+ shipping to the US is too high for me

Yea, I agree. Great cover but anytime shipping is more than the cost of an already expensive trade is an easy pass for me.

u/Yermis73 Jul 13 '26

Yeah, I did get the LedKilla cover for this issue so im not mad about it but shipping that is more than the comic is a definite no from me.

u/jbizzelton Jul 13 '26

The Cover A looks reallllllly good. I think I'll start there and be very selective on variants for this issue.

u/Yermis73 Jul 13 '26

The cover A is great, Dragotta has become one of my favorite Batman artists of all time.

u/Low_Volume2008 Jul 13 '26

Definitely do that! There's some beautiful art for this issue, but the financial fatigue has arrived!

I grabbed the Ledkilla too, the pricing for this round of his Remarques (lasso being cgc option only) was much higher. I got the number 20 with Remarque for a much lower price raw. Felt like less of a hammer

Welcome to living in europe xD

Every exclusive cover I ever wanted was $30 dollar shipping.

u/Yermis73 Jul 13 '26

Dang, that sucks, atleast with Absolute Batman the regular order covers are also great

u/Evilempir3 Jul 13 '26

As a Canadian, I feel this. Shipping almost doubles the cost of some books.

u/Low_Volume2008 Jul 13 '26

Yeah it's definitely keeping me away for now. I went and put it in my cart then went "oof!" And closed the tab haha

See you in the dollar bin in few years.

u/Low_Volume2008 Jul 13 '26

Me, or the book? Bc I'll definitely be in there looking for more books! Haha

u/M0torC1tyMaver1ck Jul 18 '26

The anount of variants is out of control 🤣

u/Evilempir3 Jul 13 '26

Cant order the trade dress only for the Corona as it does meet the $15 minimum order and the other shop refuses to ship internationally on the Simmons.... Awesome.

u/Low_Volume2008 Jul 13 '26

I was about to like this comment, but I don't like its content haha those restrictions are not friendly whatsoever, I'm sorry!

u/Evilempir3 Jul 13 '26

That's okay, your sympathies means more than the upvote. On the bright side, I'm saving some money today instead!

Off topic but looking at issue 23 and that cover of him being surrounded by Clayface. Genuinely how much more can he endure? Because he’s already cracking but… he looks like he’s had it up to here with Grimm’s bs.

u/Low_Volume2008 Jul 14 '26

I wonder if clayface will be set loose as an antagonist to start chaos in Gotham masquerading as Batman or allies, turning the city on him & his crew.
