After reading the DC New 52 books for the first week of September, I was quite surprised at how many quality books there were. No book surprised me more than O.M.A.C. #1 written by Dan DiDio and Keith Giffen, with Giffen on pencils and Scott Koblish on inks. Based on the original O.M.A.C. (One [...]
This week marks week 3 of the DC Comics New 52. As with last week we’ve moved all of the related DC titles to the top of the list to help you know what to look out for. Words can hardly express the demand for these books and we suggest getting here as soon as possible [...]
I have always been a big Green Arrow fan ever since I was a kid, and have enjoyed his exploits over the years. I also know J.T. Krul has been writing the exploits of the Emerald Archer for awhile now, and had heard he was doing pretty well with it. Unfortunately, Green Arrow #1 [...]
SWAMP THING #1 Review
Swamp Thing #1 is a great re-introduction of the classic character and firmly establishes itself as a horror book set firmly in the DCnU. The book begins with nature suddenly going haywire, as across the world animals are dying. Superman notices this as Clark Kent and immediately decides he should catch [...]
Stormwatch is a book with its beginning at Image Comics under Jim Lee’s WildStorm imprint before WildStorm became part of DC. Now with WildStorm characters becoming a part of the DCnU proper, Stormwatch incorporates characters and concepts old and new to deliver an exciting and satisfying read. Whether you’re a fan who has followed [...]
BATWING #1 Review
Going into the second week of DC’s New 52, I didn’t have high expectations for Batwing #1. Not that I thought a bat-character in Africa couldn’t be good, I just didn’t expect it to be—even with Judd Winick writing. Well, the joke’s on me. Batwing is excellent and certainly a book [...]
With DC Comics’ New 52 running strong in its second week with 13 new releases, I was ready to hit Super-Fly Comics & Games Tuesday evening, September 6th for my chance to get down with the new books early. It had been a crazy day for Super-Fly and store owner Tony Barry seemed stressed as [...]
If Justice League #1 is any indication of what we’re in store for with the New 52, then DC is bringing it strong and fans are in for a treat. No longer carrying the “of America” moniker, Justice League #1 kicks off in a new direction for the legendary super team, brought about by the [...]
I started my reading with Action Comics #1 this week. After Justice League #1 last week set the pace for super heroes being a new presence in the DCnU, I was ready for more of the “dawn” of the new DCU with Superman in Action. Written by comics legend Grant Morrison and drawn [...]
