DC Comics - The New 52!!!!

WillEagle · August 12, 2011, 09:12:14 AM

As you may have heard from Meds a couple weeks back on the podcast DC is relaunching there titles with 52 #1's!! The fun kicks off of Aug. 31 with the release of Justice League. This title is written by the great Geoff Johns with the penciller being Jim Lee and the inker is Scott Williams. The Justice League lineup looks to be Superman, Batman, the Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, and Cyborg. I think that will be a nice lineup.
I have also read that Action Comics #1 is the cornerstone of the entire DC Universe. This comic is coming out Sept. 7.
I'm planning on getting 3 or 4 titles on the new 52 even though I would like to get more. I'll post later on the ones I'm planning to get.
Which ones do you plan on getting??

As an ex comic book collector I am very tempted to pick some of these up but I know if I will I'll get hooked then I will soon be bankrupt! Lol

LOL i looked at the list last night (the one i read out on the podcast) and i think i will pick up at least 7 of the titles, mainly Superman, Batman, Supergirl, and a couple others. If i like the cover of the others i will pick them up as well. My biggest problem is that I am a number 1 collector so if i kept to my rule i'd have to buy all 52 eek.

Do you get your comics online Meds?

If so who do you use currently?

Meds · August 12, 2011, 12:31:32 PM

Well i but all my comics on ebay and my main contacts are Disposable Heroes Comics and CMJ Comics.

Cool, thanks.

I'm probably with Meds and will get 5-7 or so titles. The biggies and maybe a couple I've never really gotten into for a change of pace like Flash. I have mixed feelings on this whole thing but I think I'd be much more upset if Marvel was doing it.

Hey Rico ... here is the site: www.dcbservice.com

I'm planning on getting Justice League, Justice League International, and probably The Fury of Firestorm. I'm probably going to get the Action Comics #1 but probably won't stay with it. Thinking about the Green Lantern ones because of how much I have been enjoying the Green Lantern grapic novels I have been reading. If I could afford them all I would probably do Superman too. But with already getting The Avengers, Captain America, DC Online, and soon the new Star Trek, plus a couple of mini series, 3 is probably all I will get.
I like the Justice League titles because you get alot of characters to read about in one book instead of needing to buy many.

Awesome! Thanks!

I think I might have checked them out sometime before, now that I see the link.

Oh, here's the half-off deal link for all 52 issues of the new DC launch!

Getting closer to the launch of the New 52! Next week on Aug. 31 will be the 1st and only release on that date of 'Justice League.'
Here is a quote from Jim Lee. "This Really is the Ultimate Book."

Looks like there is a hardcover now up collecting all first issues of DC's new 52. Tempting...

P.S. Can't seem to find the #1 issues pack set anymore on their site.

So, anyone read the new "Justice League" #1 yet? I wasn't that impressed. Granted it's one short issue, but I'm wondering how much this whole thing will grab the long time comic reader. Anyway, I'll be reading other #1's in this DC revamp still.

Meds · September 01, 2011, 03:30:51 PM

It seems to be very expensive over here. I tend to buy my comics from a source on ebay at a good price but this is three times the normal amount.

Waiting for mine in the mail. I was really looking forward to the Johns/Lee collaboration, but more for Jim Lee's art...which looks fantastic. Maybe it's setting up this new premise, and once they get into a meaty arc it will hit its stride. I hear the first baddie the JL will deal with is Darkseid.
