Comic book artist Mahmud Asrar posted to Twitter his variant cover to Dark Crisis #1, launching from DC Comics in June, stating "Dark Crisis #1 Variant

Graeme McMillan has put together a 10,000 word "oral history" look at the launch of DC's New 52, ten years ago for Polygon A relaunch that Bleeding Cool first scooped the before launch, some of these insights we managed to report on at the time, others we did not… here are a few examples, the[...]

The other big conversation over the Fourth of July weekend on social media amongst comic creators and fans was kicked off by Gail Simone wanting to talk about The New 52 Ten years ago, in a series of stories first broken by Bleeding Cool, DC Comics relaunched and rebooted their entire line, retconned and rewrote[...]

Future State: Superman of Metropolis #2 is out this week and a minor spoiler. While most of the Future State comic books are looking to the future, for a

Scott Lobdell mentioned that he was bringing his run on Red Hood: Outlaw to an end with #50 of the series, that this might be the end of the series and in doing so, would bring a sense of closure and symmetry to his long run on the Red Hood And The Outlaws characters that[...]

There's a lot to enjoy. Dan DiDio Biggest Regret Was Year Two of the New 52. DiDio talked about how, as a publisher, they did not spend the same amount of energy on Year Two of the New 52 reboot than for Year One The New 52 launched in 2011 and rebooted the entire DC Universe It[...]

The 2010's statue is from Detective Comics #1000 which is a great suit but I wish they save that one for a 2020 statue and used the New 52 costume design Either way, it is a great statue that shows off the dark grey cowl and cape Any of these statues will be a great[...]

Should please the new solo publisher Jim Lee… Two versions of Wally West and his close family, simultaneously. Both the Marv Wolfman/George Perez and the New 52 versions of Teen Titans… not parallel dimensions but both existing, somehow, in the same timeline. The changed wrought by Doomsday Clock... As well as Crisis, Zero Hour and Knightfall… And including the high[...]

This is based on her New 52 look, with the red and black outfit It features over 40 points of articulation, including moveable eyes That will never not be weird Cool, but weird Harley Quinn also comes with three pairs of eyes, three pairs of hands, three face plates, a bat, a mallet, a word[...]

It seems cool, and I've been curious how DC and Geoff Johns plans to explain what's been going on in the background of Flashpoint, New 52, and Rebirth canonically. Plus, I've been hoping it might bring about the return of heroes they've not used in a bit like the Justice Society, Legion of Superheroes, and others. This[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Original Art by Philip Tan, Wallpaper Version Courtesy of Deviantart User Superman8193 We return to the Throwback Corner this week, with a beloved of mine from the early days of the New 52: The Savage Hawkman It's one that I feel was grossly underrated, and Tony S Daniel, Philip Tan, and Cliff Richards did a[...]

But it seems that the make-up sex may not be quite as good as the break-up sex, according to DC Co-Publisher Dan DiDio. In an interview with ICv2, DiFio talked about how sales of DC Rebirth trade paperbacks compare to the Nu52. "We were hoping the Rebirth trades would be a little more robust, but they are[...]

This was Geoff Johns' final writing credit on the New 52 Green Lantern title While, yes, Sinestro killing the Guardians and Hal Jordan killing Volthoom were both really cathartic moments, there is another moment I remember most: That moment has always stuck with me Here, we have two bitter enemies who have tried to kill one another[...]

Legendary Batgirl, Secret Six, Birds of Prey, and Wonder Woman writer Gail Simone took to Twitter today in discussion about the New 52 and film origins for Wonder Woman. It began with another Twitter user discussing their dislike that the New 52 introduced Zeus into the origin story of the Amazon Princess Ms Simone replied with[...]

After Geoff Johns "made Aquaman cool" with his excellent run at the beginning of New 52, the book entered a steady plateau of quality It never got bad, but it never wowed in the same way that Geoff Johns' run on the series did. When Dan Abnett took on the book shortly before Rebirth, a writer[...]

However, like I said, I'm just not convinced that there is no profit to be made in these types of books. The way DC started off New 52 satisfied me in the amount of B-to-C list characters they had on the market That's why I loved it in the beginning Hawk and Dove were back, Hawkman[...]

The CW has announced who the big baddie for Supergirl Season 3 will be, and she will be familiar to fans of the New 52 run of Supergirl Odette Annable will be joining the cast as Reign, a Worldkiller with close ties to Krypton As a matter of fact, from the DC blog, it seems like[...]

DC Comics may have moved away from the New 52, but the merchandise continues to roll Here we see the new Prime 1 Studios and Sideshow Collectibles Green Lantern / Hal Jordan statue based on the New 52 look The statue is 23" tall and if you get it through Sideshow's website, you get what[...]

Poison Ivy Hot Topic Exclusive Pop Funko has shown off a new Pop figure of Poison Ivy in her New 52 costume I gotta say, while I was not a giant fan of this look, the Pop itself looks pretty great I especially like the details on the face, and the leafs in her hair are[...]

We can't tell a lot about the figure in the preview shot, but we can tell that he's based on the original Lobo design and not the New 52, skinny version Also, he hasn't given up smoking. I'm glad to see the forearm chain as well Years ago, before the word 'cosplay', I dressed up as[...]

New readers aren't appearing and another relaunch isn't the solution. — Nash Across the 8th Dimension (@Nash076) January 23, 2016 https://twitter.com/kevinpanetta/status/690677479510556672 It'd be hilarious to me if the DC relaunch is them just going "ALL THE COMICS NOW TAKE PLACE ON EARTH-23, OKAY?" and that's it. — Graeme (@graemem) January 22, 2016 I hear 616 is available now… New 52 was[...]

Roy, known as Arsenal in the New 52, used to be known as Speedy.in another life. But what if they are going with something else here? The comic has characters remembering themselves from a past continuity which seemingly doesn't exist any more. Could Roy… be Wally West instead? The pre-52 version? Mindless speculation, nothing more… Comics courtesy of Orbital[...]

In January, the original New 52 launch titles from September 2011 will reach their issue 48s Of the 52 that began that journey back in 2011, there are only 12 left. Justice League, Aquaman, Flash, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman, Action Comics, Superman, Batman, Detective Comics, Catwoman, Batgirl, Green Lantern. The other 40 were either cancelled or relaunched[...]

The DC Universe was where you were sure Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman would always be the surest in the room. The New 52 of today bears little resemblance to the DC Universe I knew and this makes me sad. As my colleague, Graig Kent, once pointed out, "There's the odd thing that's a really good read…[...]
