We Believe in Harvey Dent

My favorite new DC release this whole year has been Walt Simonson's new graphic novel The Judas Coin. However, I'm not quite sure how to recommend it to anyone, since my enjoyment is based on several factors beyond the face-value of the story itself. Or rather, the stories themselves. Ahh, yes, you see what I did there! Unless you didn't, in which case, how awkward.

If you're interested in buying The Judas Coin, you have several options. As I've said before, I think that the cover price of $22.99 for a slim 94-page hardcover is outrageous. Thankfully, there are cheaper options, with print copies going for $13.77 on both Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble, which also offers it for Nook for $12.64. Other ways you can get it digitally include Kindle for $9.99 (the best deal of them all), and $12.99 for iBooks for iPad/iPhone. Few are talking about this book and DC has done nothing to promote it, so check it out however you can. And if you are willing to spend the full cover price, then hey, go support your local bookstore/comic book shop!
