Here it is, the third month of DC’s new 52 with even more new titles popping up. As of this post, every new first issue has been released, and there has been praise and criticism from readers both new and old. Some issues have brought up old controversy’s; while others have showed a true step in the right direction. Although they’ve sold like crazy, with several titles recieving not only a second, but third and fourth printing, it’s issues 2-3 that will REALLY say whether or not this reboot was a success. At least, on a marketing level. Also, starting with January solicits I’ll be posting not just DC, but marvel, image, dark horse, and a few select others! See you next month!
