Let's look at this from a retailer point of view. I would hate Showcases and Essentials as a retailer. My LCS has both Showcases and Essentials that have sat on his shelf so long that they are yellowing, and no one is going to buy them like that. Chronicles are great for retailers because they are so thin they can easily display a ton of them, and they are small enough that my LCS puts them out on the new comics shelves with the floppies when they first come out, for nice high visibility. I think continuing to expand the Chronicles line is a win-win for everyone. I'm a little concerned with the Green Lantern and Flash choices because those issues have been reprinted a lot! I have the Green Lanterns in both Archive and Showcase formats, so I'm very apprehensive about buying the Chronicles as well, but I want to support the line. The Flash is a no brainer for me, my son loves Flash, and I only have two of the Archives.

There are many copies...
