As part of Monday's DC solicits, DC Direct announced two new waves of Blackest Night figures, wave seven in November and wave eight in December. With wave six already on the schedule for November 3rd, that's going to make for an avalanche of new figures right before the holidays. There's some nice surprises including an oversized Arkillo, a 2-pack of smaller figures, more Black Lanterns, and more deputized lanterns including the very first Mera, our 2009 Most Requested Figure, in 6" form!
On Tuesday, Warner Bros. released Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, their latest direct-to-DVD animated movie. I'm sure that most of you have noticed we happen to love DC Comics here at IAT and this was a must-buy for all of us. So we trekked out into the cold, bought our multiple copies, and then all headed for Noisy’s house so we could watch it together. I know what you're thinking, but that’s how we roll.
Spoilers: In this article, we're discussing a recent DVD release. Now, we won't spoil the ending, but we might drop a few plot details and we'll definitely be talking about characters that appeared in the film. Proceed of your own accord...
Vault snagged an Arisia figure from DC Direct's Blackest Night line on Friday and our discussion turned into a big debate about scale and how DCD and DCUC should or shouldn't share shelf space. Vault's got a mini-review of Arisia on our forums, I've added a handful of "Usual Suspects" shots to his review so we can work out if DCD and DCUC have anything close to a compatible scale, and we've got the whole gang talking about the merits (or nasty side effects) of mixing the lines!
