Reading the New 52

by Richard

I’ve always been into comics and graphic art, but I’ve typically followed titles that deviate from the hero-in-tights model. Also, I’m kind of a sucker for following a story “from the beginning,” so it’s always been a bit of a hurdle to jump into a long-running title that’s well into the hundreds of issues.

However, DC Comics recently rebooted a ton of their titles, with new #1s across the board, so I’m taking it as an opportunity to see what’s on offer. My lovely wife bought me a package that includes all 52 new titles; I plan on reading through them one by one and tweeting some brief thoughts on each title under the hashtag #new52.
