3.The Big Stuff this week
-
Man of Steel #1 - Brian Michael Bendis is starting his first major comic this week with the 6 issue Man of Steel Miniseries. The series is paced slowly but well worth the read and with the weekly schedule, the Bendis Burn doesn’t apply!! This series will result in 3 new Superman titles (Though no new Superman…)
-
Justice League: No Justice #4 - The end of Justice League: No Justice ends in an explosive finale before setting up many of the No Justice Spinoffs. (No Teen Titans or Titans Set up)
- Starting Points
-
Man of Steel #1 is definitely the best starting point. With it setting up the next Era of Superman
-
Green Arrow Annual #2. Though a Justice League: No Justice Tie-in, it sets up the Green Arrow’s next big story!
-
Batman Prelude to the Wedding: Robin vs. Ra’s Al Ghul #1 for people who want to jump into Batman starting with the Wedding (Which is perfectly viable), this one shot is the first of a series of oneshots to look at how the wedding will affect Batman’s supporting cast. Simultaneously a cash grab and a celebration of Batman’s Villains, this series has NO right and I mean NO RIGHT to be as good as it is. Every read is incredibly well written. I’m rambling aren’t I…… Well check it out!!
