If I Ran DC Comics
I had tried to blog about every single #1 of the New 52, but I couldn’t do it. There were only so many ways to say “what an incredible disappointment”. I’ve heard the latest reboot is decent, but it seems … Continue reading

Batman #1
The focus of the first Batman issue of the reboot seems to be to establish that he’s even more high-tech than he was before. The issue opens with a riot at Arkham and Nightwing is there, disguised as the Joker … Continue reading
Birds of Prey #1
The Birds of Prey reboot is a strange one. I’d been hoping the team’s very existence meant Barbara Gordon had been Oracle during her time in a wheelchair, but the conversation between her and Black Canary in this issue strongly … Continue reading

Superboy #1
When they decided how to reboot Superboy, they went all in. They’ve rebooted him further back than we’ve ever seen the character before. Any further and the first issue would be nothing but illustrations of in-vitro fertilization. It starts out … Continue reading

I’m excited that Mister Terrific has got his own series, I think he’s one of the best legacy characters in the DC universe. They frequently use him to introduce some actual science and emphasize the scientific method. They also frequently … Continue reading
Red Lanterns #1
I was dubious about an entire title devoted to the Red Lanterns. They’re all about rage, anger and hate and that could become disgusting quickly. So far, however, so good. The initial issue focuses more on how hard it is … Continue reading
Green Lantern #1
This series had the most to lose in the reboot. DC had just spend over a year on Darkest Night and Brightest Day, reshaping the entire Lantern universe, adding new lanterns to the existing Green, Yellow and Violet (Sapphire), changing … Continue reading

Legion Lost #1
Legion Lost is one of the titles I was most looking forward to in the reboot. I’m a huge Legion fan and am very excited that they’ll have two books in this new universe. This book is set in the … Continue reading

Suicide Squad #1
Wow, this comic is a disaster. The idiocy of Harley’s new costume has been widely discussed, but I hadn’t seen it until now and it is worse than I thought it’d be. The hair is fine and could have been a … Continue reading
