Excited by the DCnU, I'm reviewing the New 52. Being truthful, there are few comics that I currently collect. This is an opportunity for me to get reacquainted with DC after the 90's. It's also an outlet for non-academic writing. While I anticipate this task being a pleasure, I expect that there is a lot of research I will need to do to do these titles justice (thank you Wikipedia authors and the Green County Public Library).
Each of my reviews will be between 190 and 210 words long. I promise to provide a little background on all titles and the authors/artists. However, being away from DC for so long, I'll be approaching this with a detached view of what has occurred in the last 15 years and a general ignorance of the events of Flashpoint (despite the endorsement of my local shop).
Finally, let me note three inspirations for this task. Geoff Johns, for his work on JSA and Green Lantern. Maximilian Lake, a close friend, for recommending Geoff's work and agreeing to this task in a more public arena. Superfly Comics and Games (http://superflycomics.com/), my local comic shop, for offering the New 52 half off to customers committing early to all #1's.
