Was This Awesome #Superman Blanket.

As I mentioned before, I’m excited about DC Comics’ New 52. To honor this major change in DC Comics (at least at this point it seems pretty major), I’ve decided to read all 52 of the new….52. Some I may like, some may love, some I may pretty much hate.

I am sure there will be more than a few that I won’t read again, but I want to give these 52 titles a try even if it’s just so I can say years from now, “Yeah, I read all of those…”

So here is the full list of the relaunched titles, with the dates they are released. The crossed out ones are obviously the ones I’ve already read - and I’ll updating this post as I go along.

Anyone else out there doing this?

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?

As you can see from this video, I loved it - and from everything I’ve read and seen a majority of you people loved it to. Then my brother sends me this article this morning:

This guy didn’t seem to like it very much - and I assume he’s barely a fan. But my favorite part is that all the comments (including mine if they add it) are totally against this guy’s opinion, and that - I love.

Can you believe that we’re only 3 days away from the final Smallville? I’ve already taken the day off from work and made sure my wife knows that it’s all-Superman all-day (yes I actually got somebody to marry me 11 years ago, I can’t believe it either).
