After Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths end, DC will be undergoing Dawn of DC -- a new linewide publishing initiative that will pivot certain ongoing series -- I've heard about the Superman books, Nightwing, and Harley Quinn -- and launch a bunch of n
I did a search, and I didn't see a Stargirl thread... so here's one, fresh for Season 3!
In my opinion, it's an excellent superhero show, full of optimism and humor, with writing that's still sharp and from the heart. It's chock full of Easter eggs
Read more…From DC's December solicitations, a cover by Amanda Conner for Harley Quinn: Villain of the Year (an awards-show spoof of Year of the Villain).
I present to you: BLACK MANTA IN A TOP HAT.

But first, a few (relatively) spoiler-free thoughts:
I liked it, I think.
I didn't like what happened in it at all. But I think it's a promising first chapter...with a very high cost of admission.
I liked that there weren't any death scenes. We're jus
We all agree (hopefully) that the Golden Age of Comics began with Action Comics #1 (Ju'38) with Superman on the cover. And we all know that Superman didn't reappear on the cover until #7 (D'38). When I was researching one of those darn Twenty Questio

Off the top of my head, I got:
A while back, I logged some week-to-week posts on DC’s digital reprint program through Comixology. It’s been a while, and their digital offerings have matured, so I thought I’d take another look at what they’re adding each week. Currently, they seem
Read more…Among the things I tend to pick up on my back-issue dives are comics that came out in my “golden age” -- approx. 1976 to 1985 -- but that I either had no interest in or just didn’t have the money to buy at the time. DC was my favorite publisher as a
Read more…Dark Days: The Forge came out this week, and considering it's the Next Big DC Thing, I assume some of us are reading it. It brings a lot of older DC concepts back, an starts exploring some new ones, as well. And it seems wholly differentiated from th

Read more…Holy cow -- DC is revamping a bunch of HB properties for comics with top creators (including Jim Lee, Amanda Palmer and Darwyn Cooke!). I'll pass on the Scooby book (nothing's gonna beat Scooby Doo Team-Up), but I've got a lot of faith in the Flint

Starfire
Midnighter
We Are Robin
Dr. Fate

Read more…Is anyone getting this weekly series from DC? I've picked up the first two issues, and am not sure how long I'll continue.
DC made what I consider a really generous mistake in the first issue, giving the reader a 40-page book for only $2.99, essenti
Read more…Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up to pick up All-Star Western 34 if you can. It's a truly great issue. Palmiotti, Gray, and Darwyn Cooke deliver an excellent capstone to Palmiotti & Grey's over 100-issue run on Jonah Hex.
We're three issues into this weekly DC megaseries. It started with chaos and violence in the Free Comic Book Day issue 0. There was a lot of action -- and one gloriously creepy moment -- but with the dystopic 35-year future didn't have a lot of emoti
Read more…While its long-term survival was a long shot, I'm really sorry to see this one go. I don't think it necessarily got off on the right foot, both with its marketing (pitting it against the Green Team) and an opening issue the kept a lot of readers at a
Read more…I don't know in which thread I wondered about this, but a while back, I wondered what the first canceled New 52 title to be relaunched with a new number 1 would be. Hawkman seemed like a decent contender; OMAC, on the other hand, was a real long shot
