Once again it's been a long time since I've updated my blog. Man, it's hard to get back into a habit of blogging. Maybe it's because of the process I go through before I submit an entry or I'm just way too busy. I don't know about you guys but my process is pretty long. First I gotta pick one of my blog ideas from a list, gather some information (which is the tedious part), first draft, spellcheck then submit!
Anyways, let's start with something that has taken my interest for the past two months since gaming hasn't been adequate due to the annual summer gaming drought. Winter Holidays, bring it on! Goodbye, World.
This particular "something" is comic books! I was so excited when I heard about the reboot to the DC Universe that I contemplated about getting every #1 single issue. I haven't read any of the recent DC comics. The most recent one I've read was Sinestro Corps War and the last one of Batman's was No Man's Land (which I'm currently reading again) and that was a long, long time ago and it was an exhaustive read for me at the time. So, this is sorta perfect time to get back in!
There has been many concerns about the New 52 and DC's New Universe (DCnU). This isn't a complete reboot of all characters. This is not where all the history and continuity of the characters are erased and starting from scratch like the alternative Ultimate Universe of Marvel but almost similar. This reboot is for DC to get with the times. To do that, their first step was introducing redesigns of costumes, which look freakin' awesome! Tights are out and armor plates are in. Check out Superman's, especially Jim Lee's variant in Action Comics and in Justice League #1.
So far, all the comics I got are pretty awesome but there are way too many to follow. Justice League is a must. Batmans'? I know I have to follow Scott Snyder's Batman. Green Lantern is one of the continued lines, not very new reader friendly but Sinestro is back as a Green Lantern! Better read Blackest Night, Brightest Day and War of the Green Lanterns. Action Comic reads better than Superman #1 but Superman #1 got me hooked. [spoiler] Clark isn't with Lois anymore and you can feel pain from Clark when he walks away from Lois and her new boyfriend. [/spoiler] It feels great for character development. The Flash had the best splash page of all time and the only thing that was missing was background music. Batgirl has to be my favourite because Barbara Gordon is back as Batgirl! Her new villain is awesome but her legs are back?!
Oh, dear. What to do, what to do.
