The new DC reboot has really energized me back into comic book reading.  Note I said reading and not collecting.  Its hard to collect with two kids under the age of four.  I have a tendency to leave things laying around, and then one of my kids will inevitably get it, and most likely destroy it, and I cant blame a toddler for thumbing through a book to hard, can I?  Anyway, back to the topic at hand.  I have read great things about the huge arc titled “Flashpoint” which soars through multiple characters and miniseries in the Flash’s universe.  I am trying to broaden myself a little right now since I have been a Superman/Batman universe guy for a while.  Anyway, its a tough series to get into because you cant just go buy the “Flashpoint” arc (yet) ((unless your local comic book shop bundled them)), so I looked around for a few reading lists and finally landed on this.  This is how I have entered it into my Omnifocus, and you should too.

Ill keep this short.  Im not going to review the new Justice League book, other than saying its great.  Its a slow intro to how the heroes are meeting, and I like the approach Geoff and Jim are taking.  I really just wanted to talk for a second about the reboot and what it means to me.  I think the way the higher ups at DC are embracing digital media is commendable.  They are hitting the challenge face on and not looking back.  They are boldly saying that this is their time at DC and they are not making any apologies.  Being personally affected by digital piracy, I understand the challenges of presenting things in new media formats, but the way that DC is handling it with retailers and fans, is really top notch.  There are several titles that I am going to jump in on in the new 52 and I am excited to see how their venture goes.  I purchased both formats of JL#1, and I enjoyed both of the very different experiences.  Its been a long time since I have been able to open a book and really not know what to expect, so this is an exciting time for me with the heroes that I have grown up to love.  If youre new to comics, theres never a better time than now to get started on a story.  Im excited for the rest of the month.  My son and I are headed to our local shop tomorrow to dive into another new book… you should too.
