When it comes to comic books, I’m definitely a Marvel guy.  But with DC’s upcoming relaunch, I thought it was a good time to check out some of their titles.  If you haven’t heard, DC is relaunching their entire line of comics: 52 new #1 issues with some large changes to the entire universe (some characters don’t exist anymore, some characters that died are back, some chunks of character history are being erased, other chunks are being created, etc.).  I knew I was going to check out Justice League, some of the Batman titles, and Aquaman, but I somehow talked myself into checking out Superman, Green Lantern, The Flash, and Wonder Woman as well.  I’m hoping that I end up liking 4 or 5 titles that I can read going forward, but we’ll see how it all works out.
