The nuDC Report, Weeks 3-4

I based my opinions in the following report from reading numerous DC #1s, and reading reviews from IGN and Comic Book Resources (CBR), who I think have some of the most detailed and analytical reviews of comics.

It's official, the nuDC is a hit for DC Comics.  All 52 books sold out, which is unheard of in comics these days.  One series might sell out a lot, especially an event, but not all the books published in a month.  Week 0/1 was great, week 2 was average, but week 3 and 4 seemed to have found a pleasant medium.

Reviews for Buffy: Season 9 #1, Daredevil #3, Demon Knights #1, and more

Another week, another massive pull list.  And I love you guys so much, I keep trying out new DC books to review as well.  Week 2 of the DC wasn't as great as Week 0/1.  Marvel had some brilliant books, but also some below average ones as well.  In the words of Leroy Jenkins, LET'S DO THIS.

Marvel Comics
Alpha Flight #4:  Hooray!  Alpha Flight has been upgraded to an ongoing series!  The series has been great so far, but #4 takes a slight dip in quality.  Mostly due to the backstory of the main villain.

The nuDC report, Weeks 0-2.

I based my opinions in the following report from reading numerous DC #1s, and reading reviews from IGN and Comic Book Resources (CBR), who I think have some of the most detailed and analytical reviews of comics.

This is the start of new column, report, whatever you want to call it.  It will come every other week, giving plenty of time to get sales figures.  It's a little different this week, as the report covers three weeks.

The massive DC reboot is upon us.  As a fan of the comic medium, I wanted it to succeed.  I'm a Marvel fanboy, but anything that gets interest in the medium, I'm fine with it.  Going into this, I knew that I would be reading books that I already picked up (Flash, Green Lantern, Batman, pretty much whatever Grant Morrison is writing), and only planned on picking up one new series, Aquaman.  Two weeks in, I have started reading four more series.

Justice League was a good, if safe, start to the reboot (DC Comics)

Reviews for Action Comics #1, Red Skull #3, Swamp Thing #1 and more

Some big names in DC finally make the appearance this week, and it's a very strong start to their revamp.  Marvel also had a strong week.  I don't think I was really disappointed by one comic this week, something that hasn't happened in a while.  Ok, enough out of me, lets get onto the reviews!
