Fifteen years ago today, DC announced The New 52. If you weren’t buying comics in 2011 it’s hard to describe what a big deal The New 52 was. DC was ending their entire mainstream line and then releasing 52 new titles. Some would replace the ones that were ending. Some…

Above are two images that weren’t full house ads but rather smaller ads that appeared mainly in the letters pages. If I am remembering something I read on the Internet years and years and years ago, Mike Carlin had a habit of putting small ads like this into other books…

Armageddon 2001 is one of my favorite DC events/crossovers. Full stop. I realize that part of it was because I was 15 when it happened and in the full flower of my person Golden Age as a comic book reader and collector, but it also happens to be a really…

Yesterday was the ten year anniversary of the release of DC Universe Rebirth #1. It’s kind of weird because on one hand it definitely feels like it’s been a decade since this came out but it also feels like it was both yesterday and a hundred years ago. Rebirth, as…

If Superman #8 and Action Comics #591 were my proper introduction to Superman in the comics then Who’s Who Update ’87 was my proper introduction to the DC Universe as a whole. The first issue of this mini-series was on the stands right around the time I picked up the…

I have three sub-folders in my Ads sub-folder in the Images sub-folder of my Superman folder on my hard drive. As I look at that sentence I realize is sounds weird. Not “we shouldn’t talk to this guy anymore” weird. Just, “why are you so anal-retentive about the way you…

The first time I ever walked away from the Superman books was towards the end of the New Krypton storyline. I’ve written about this before, but for those coming in late (or just finding me because of this post) I by 2009 I was going through a very regrettable fan…

Power Girl is one of the many characters that got caught in the wake of Crisis on Infinite Earths. DC got rid of the multiverse (temporarily) for all time and instead of starting over from scratch or just retiring the characters that had their entire existence tied to being a…

The Supergirl series that started in 2005 was a mixed bag to begin with. The first storyline by Jeph Loeb and Ian Churchill was fine, as was the One Year Later arc that followed it, but after that it was a roller coaster ride. Some issues I liked. Some I…
