Be buying DC Universe 0.
For less than the cost of a can of soda you get to see what’s coming up in the DCU this year, and it looks fucking great: As we speak I’m trying to talk myself out of buying Batman R.I.P. but the preview looks rock solid. Legion of Three Worlds looks out of this world… no pun intended... until now. And Wonder Woman could use a little direction to ensure maximum ass-kickery from the purloined pen of Ms. Gail Simone. (*)
Really, with DC stashing a bunch of spring-loaded awesome on their syllabus and Bendis breaking bad with Skrull-fuck after Skrull-fuck over Marvel way, it should be a good year to be a comics fan... as opposed to last year which was a huge fucking letdown.
What's to prevent this from being a huge fucking letdown?
Nothing, I'll grant you. But with DC not trying so hard, and learning all the right lessons from Sinestro Corps War. And Bendis subversively kick-starting Secret Invasion without telling anyone (thus avoiding Marvel Editorial's recent rash of nigh-incompetence) I think the next year is in good hands.
Also support your local comic shop on Free Comic Book Day, net some free comics, pick up a free Iron Man HeroClix figure, and maybe bring an extra 50 cents to have your fanboy/girl balls/uterus kicked in by two of the best names in comics today.
Yeah, yeah, I just called Morrison and Johns two of the best in comics. Even I can’t deny them at this point.
Yea though I reserve the right to hate them unmerciful should they falter even a little.
