Every year when my DC Universe Infinite Ultra subscription renews, I’m offered the option to select a free gift. However, last year, they didn’t offer a new option, limiting me to choosing from one of two options, each of which I’d already selected in years past.

This year, they added a new option:

Superman: Birthright The Deluxe Edition

I actually already have a hardcover (non-Deluxe) edition collecting Birthright – I actually bought it during my hiatus from buying comics – but given that this softcover edition was free*, I figured I might as well get it.

Not sure what I’m going to do with it, but I have it.

*I mean, free after the cost of an annual subscription to the Ultra tier, so not free at all, really

In any case, finances have dictated a dramatic slowdown in the rate at which new items are arriving in the mail, but there are still a few things out there that will land on my doorstep one day, so check back soon for the next Mail Call.
