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?

From today's New 52: Futures End… as the series approaches its conclusion… 1700 Broadway is the offices of DC Comics in Manhattan And right now it looks like it needs a Band-Aid.

Do you remember that Superboy Infinite Crisis punch? The one that shattered reality, and gave editors the company over an excuse for continuity errors that they had missed, or ways to fix continuity issues that they just couldn't get to with plot character or motivation? It was a handy quick fix. It brought Jason Todd, Elast-Girl[...]

I assumed since it is being released under the "New 52" spectrum, it would be safe to read and I would be able to offer a "new reader" perspective Right off the bat, I was super happy that the first character we see is Thomas Blake, or Catman He was my favorite when I read[...]

One thing we haven't seen yet in the New 52 is Aquaman's mother, Atlanna Well, with Aquaman #39 the creative team of Jeff Parker and Paul Pelletier will be doing just that and the image below show us just how she's going to look Kind of a bad-ass eh? Atlanna's role in the comic has changed[...]

My favourite incarnation, from before the New 52 relaunch. Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, from the bwah-ha-ha-ha era of the Justice League, uncovered after being trapped in a cryonic chamber for a thousand years… Well, on the eve of DC Comics releasing solicitations for December-shipping titles, writer Keith Giffen told Newsarama, Keith Giffen: Yes! Booster Gold and Blue[...]

From World's Finest: Futures End #1, even when Power Girl makes an effort to cover up… She just can't catch a break. She is, however, still able to inspire boob windows in others. But is this fair? Is this all she is? Are we just exacerbating the problem by constantly going on about it? Are we reducing a[...]

I had been anticipating reading it, but was overwhelmed with concern because the New 52 Batgirl started my love for comics (Yes, I'm one of those people.) I'll never forget the day a friend of mine bought me some of the New 52 issues I read through a couple of different ones, but nothing struck[...]

Go on, let's take the first page of New 52: Futures End out of context. I don't know, Superman, I think Wonder Woman deserves a little more romance than that. And what's with the helmet?

And this is the amended cover for the print version, Adventures of Superman #16 It appears that it just wasn't New 52-y enough….     This is the cover to the digital first comic[...]

When the New 52 relaunch began back in 2011, one of the more prominent changes, if you can believe it, was the removal of Superman's iconic red trunks Source of so many jokes about superheroes wearing their underwear over their trousers, the new costume caused headlines and much fan bitterness. Now the upcoming Superman writer Geoff[...]
