But I would get them as soon as you see them on shelves in the wild.

Thanks in part to Rick Dunn for part of the info:
Comicbook.com ran the story earlier in the week that Hawkgirl/Kendra Saunders has been cast as part of the Flash TV show. (I really need to start watching this and Arrow.)
From comicbook.com:
Hawkgirl will be one of the three mystery superheroes appearing in the forthcoming CW series that spins out of The Flash and Arrow, Deadline reports.
Ciara Renée, who just made her TV debut last year on Law & Order: SVU, has landed the role of Kendra Saunders, which the report characterizes as a lead.
The casting of Ciara Renee as Hawkgirl/Kendra Saunders has turned a $1 bin book into a $40+ book.
Since the March 30 casting announcement, copies of Kendra Saunders first appearance in JSA Secret Files #1(1999) have sold for $30-$40 on eBay. Currently there is only one Buy-it-Now for $51.99
and one auction starting at $25
. According to Comichron, the book had estimated pre-orders of 32,728.
Time to start hunting the back issue bins.
