I know most of you aren't comic fans on here, and most probably never will be.
But like I said elsewhere, this forum isn't exactly over-running with activity at the moment.
Anyhow, DC has recently announced and begun to relaunch/reboot their entire line of comics with 52 brand new #1s. Now these stories run the gamut of the comic verse with a heavy focus on the capes.
The reason for this? Well mostly because they are losing market share to Marvel in an ever shrinking comic book industry.
The less cynical answer is they wanted to open up their universe to outsiders, by making a line of accessible comics. Now there is some difficult with that especially when they try and walk the line about what has and hasn't changed in this new verse, but neither here nor there.
It started last week with Justice League 1, which was an interesting read, that has had a mixed reaction
Over the next 4 weeks, they will introduce 51 new series as well. And here's a checklist/weekly breakdown.
In addition I guess, some previews from Action Comics 1, which drops tomorrow
