The Midnight Madness event and historic launch are all in support of DC Entertainment’s goal of giving casual and long-time fans an opportunity to enjoy comics in an easy, accessible way.

  1. Midtown is NOT offering the complete set at 40% off. That was only if you ordered it ages ago. If you order now, it’s only 15% off which you can get just about anywhere.
