xxadverbxx’s 2013 Pull List
Pic unrelated (though I want Steph back DC!)
My pull list for 2013! Please feel free to suggest a comic for me to check out or drop in the comments!
An iconic DC character to come out as gay?
I heard this as a rumor, and through searching I found this Bleeding Cool bit and a few others that seem to point that it isn’t just a rumor. Didio apparently has claimed that an iconic and major character in the DC Universe is going to be coming out as being gay.
DCnU Timeline v2.1 (+ rant)
Version 2.1 is here! Why 2.1? Well this is basically version 2 but with a rant about Crisis events due to a recent message from Didio countering an older interview of Harras and Berganza.
Review: Legion Lost #2
Legion Lost #1 failed to wow me mostly due to a lack of really setting the stakes, will this do better? The basic answer is: yes.
Review: Deathstroke #2
This should be short for there isn’t much to say on this besides it is one action packed issue!
SPOILER WARNING!
Review: Men of War #2
The first comic I’m looking at is the 2nd issue of one of my favorites of the first wave: Men of War. This did not disappoint me.
SPOILER WARNING!
Review: Flash #1
SPOILER WARNING!
DCnU Timeline v2
After skipping last week due to a general lack of info, I’m here with an updated version of my first Timeline! Version 2 has a couple updates and one change from version 1.
Review: Batwing #1
Note: This is the preliminary cover, not the final one.
Batwing is brought to us by legendary writer Judd Winick and artist Ben Oliver. And by “legendary,” I really mean “extremely hit-or-miss.” Winick is one of those guys that comes along and writes a very thought provoking story – the resurrection of Jason Todd and his new mission to cause as much grief as he possibly can to his old mentor – and then rides the waves of that story’s success for most of his career. I can’t really say that Red Hood: The Lost Days was particular awe inspiring, nor was his take on Grant Morrison’s take of the Red Hood in Batman and Robin #23-25 (he somehow managed to avoid everything that Morrison did to reinvent the Red Hood as a villain and brought him back to being a guy who trolls Batman). When asked about his Catwoman series for the New 52, he said “sexy” so many times I forgot what the story was about to begin with. So, Batwing did not look to be very inspiring.
DCnU Timeline v1
So DC gave us a “relaunch” where bits are the same, others erased, and the general timeline crunched down due to de-aging many (but not all) of the characters. Due to this I at least am very confused on how everything fits in. So with the help of the other bloggers, I’ve decided to piece together a timeline.
Review: Static Shock #1
SPOILER WARNING!
Review: Men of War #1
With DC’s new 52 comes a title that hasn’t been seen since 1978, and though I never read that 27 issue series I must say I’ve been very intrigued how this new one will be.
SPOILER WARNING!
Review: Batgirl #1
After last week’s start of the New 52, we now get to take a look at Barbara Gordon stepping back into her role of Batgirl.
SPOILER WARNING!
Review: Detective Comics #1
Last week Justice League #1 started the all new DC 52 line up. This week 13 new comics join it including Detective Comics #1. I warn you now about possible spoilers.
Why this relaunch could have been done without
We should all know by now that the DC Relaunch is about to take place. In most regards at least, I think this relaunch could and should have been done without. Some of the things could even I will address things in no real order, and maybe add in a few other complaints.

review/RANT: Brightest Day #8
So at the start of the summer I stopped reading comic books. It wasn’t a concious decision. The first couple of weeks I was just too enthralled in FIFA madness (wtf U.S.A?) and I just kind of fell off the wagon. Anyway, I have started to catch up. I thought a cool opportunity resulting from playing catch up would be that I could read five straight consecutive issues of Brightest Day. To my incessant complaints that this series is borderline incoherent (not to mention st00pid) many have argued that it will read better in the trades. If this experiment is any indication… Nope. This story really makes no f!ing sense.
