Actor/comedian Nug Nahrgang and writer/director Andrew Cymek hit The Silver Snail once again to review this week’s DC Comics ”New 52”³ #1”²s. This week features Batman #1, Wonder Woman #1, Green Lantern Corps #1, Blue Beetle #1, Catwoman #1, Supergirl #1 and much more!
Green Lantern - both the character and the series - has reached phenomenal new heights of popularity under the guidance of superstar writer Geoff Johns. For me though, the comic has become a victim of its own success. The title seemed trapped in this never-ceasing loop of mega-events that required buying ever more series to stay involved. So, after Blackest Night , I dropped it from my reading list. Not because it was bad, but just too sprawling in its scope.
Spinning out of the events of Battle for the Cowl , is the debut of the new Dynamic Duo of Dick Grayson and Damien Wayne. I thoroughly enjoyed the new Batman and Robin series at first, but found my interest waning during the second story arc. I thought I was finished with the series after issue #13, until I saw the previews for the latest issue tucked at the end of all the major DC comics this week.
