Here's what I was able to pick up today at the shop:
- Batgirl: Meh. They turned Barbara into a victim. Totally got the character wrong right off the bat. Pun intended! - Animal Man: Best book on the stands this week. The art is gorgeous. - Justice League International: Meh. - Action Comics: Actually pretty good. Supes in this isn't reactionary in the slightest. He goes out and does stuff of his own accord. - Static Shock: It's alright but lacks a "wow factor." - Green Arrow: Not bad in the slightest. Still not the biggest JT Krull fan but he's delivered on the first issue (it's a little too on the nose, though, about Queen Industries being DC's Apple). - Swamp Thing: Pretty good. I've never read the character before but it seems really interesting. |

I got to meet the artist of Justice League International, Aaron Lopresti, at my local Things From Another World tonight. He signed issue 1 for us and also did a sketch of Batgirl and one of Harely Quinn for us for free.
Also they had free beer and homemade food so all in all I've had a pretty good day.

Yeah I have to say that I don't get it. Like it's not even that the police just misunderstand him but he actively taunts them.

Here's how back to basics Supes is in this new comic: He heard a woman screaming and went to her home where he found out her husband had been beating her nightly so he threw the guy out a window into the river where he broke a lot of bones.
This Superman is so proactive it's scaring me. |

So I read Action Comics #1.
Yeah mods you can move this into the new 52 thread with all of DC's other shitty comics now.

Either that or explain to him that if you want to do everything in your Action Comics #1 that Siegel/Schuster did in Action Comics #1, you gotta make the fuckin' panels smaller.
