Definitely counts. :)

[Mpauli, Bitten by a radioactive book]

This week was a win for Team DC, mainly caused by Milou catching us up with all her fulfilled challenges in recruiting Supergirl, Batgirl, Commissioner Gordon, Firestorm, Lobo and Swamp-Thing. Firestorm was also recruited by Kirsty, while Lel and Melanie both defeated Brainiac.
But the achievement for defeating our villain goes to Team Marvel's Wayland. Apart from that Elwen recruited Blade and Rinn added Vision to her roster.
The Energy Cell race went 6:1 to Team DC.

[Mpauli, Bitten by a radioactive book]

This week was a slower week with a win for Team Marvel. Wayland was their MVP by recruiting She-Hulk and Iron Fist while Joy defeated Brainiac.
For Team DC Nich was the MVP by being the first player to recruit Nimona while also adding Atom to his roster.
The Energy Cell race ended 1:1.

Thanks for the update, Mpauli. I think DC got 2 energy cells, though. There's Dawn's (message 1427) and mine (message 1430).

Mpauli, I think Ana might be right - I think the Energy Cell should be 2:0. I don't actually see a Marvel energy cell, just the two DC ones Ana lists (1427 & 1430).

I'm still at number 16 on the wait list for this 2 weeks later. I don't think I'm getting it this month.

[Greg]

Bummer Wayland :(

[Shawnie]

Sorry you're not getting it, Wayland. I think you'd like it. I ended up buying it and added the audio for an additional $4. I rarely do that, and I am so happy I loved this book enough to go back and re-read.

Same here. I'm #3 but it's still "Being Processed" as a new order. That means they're putting barcodes and stuff on the books. That can take weeks.

Have we been granted an extension for that? As it wasn't even released in the US until July 5ish?
