The New 52 & Me

I am a comic book fan - but not really a comic book aficionado. So what does this major DC Comics reboot, affectionately known as “The New 52”, mean to me?

When you really think about it, a public library is really an amazing place. A public building, open to anybody, filled with the knowledge of the world - all for no cost. Growing up I thought of it mainly as a place where I can take out regular old books - and I never thought a second about it. Now, the public library is one of my main resources for reading comic books. It’s an amazing resource, and yet for some reason I feel guilty about it.

I just got home from a 7:30pm showing of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and from the moment the “Universal Studios” logo came on the screen to now, I still can’t wipe the smile off my face.

Have you ever had a television show that you know you like, but you put off catching up to it and you wait and wait - only to finally start watching it and realize that the show is a hell of a lot of fun and you can’t believe you waited to catch up with it!? Well for me, this season that show is Fox’s Human Target.

Have you ever asked the question, “what if the most iconic American Superhero landed in Soviet Russia?” Well, even if you haven’t - Mark Millar has given you an answer in this amazing mini-series, Superman: Red Son.
