The Big Stuff This Week
-
Batman #55 is maybe the most important issue of Batman #51-74. Didn’t say the best, I said most important. I’m not going to spoil it, but it will have a big impact on DC moving forward.
-
Aquaman #40 is the end of the Suicide Squad crossover Sink Atlantis. How will Atlantis fare when the Suicide Squad tries to blow it up. It all ends here!
-
Harley Quinn #50. Harley breaks continuity by reading Issue 50 of Harley Quinn before she did #50! So continuity is broken! Which asks the question, did the comic book #50 version of Harley Quinn read the issue early? And so on and so forth?
- Starting points
- Harley Quinn #50 starts a new arc and thanks to DCU Book Club, people are all reading it at least somewhat together now! Great time to jump in.
-Justice League #8 though knowing some continuity going in would be nice. It isn’t imperative to enjoying the second arc. For anyone interested in reading the Drowned Earth crossover, this is a must read! It also starts to move the ball rolling, but should be fairly accessible.
