This may be uber dorky, (maybe just using the word uber is . . . damn I wish I had an umlaut) but the question about whether I read comics, and the realization that I read many, got me thinking that maybe I could do a review once in a while. Maybe once a week if I'm lucky. Now as any good review does, mine would have plenty of spoilers, so any of you out there that happen to read the same comics might want to avoid reading my blog until after you've read the book. Of course, it might take me a few days to fomulate an opinion, so, of course, you'd have plenty of time to read it if you wish. Now the question is, do I review one comic consistently? I don't think I'm going to do that because then I'd wind up with one review each month, and sometimes no review at all. Of course that would be hard with 52 because it comes out every week.
For those of you who don't know, DC comics decided to skip a year after their latest cross over event (infinite crisis) so most of there comics in March started One Year Later (OYL). During that year, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman each spent time doing anything but superheroing. To show what happened to the rest of the DC universe during that time period (and to make a lot of money), DC decided to do a weekly series that would cover all 52 weeks of the missing year. We are currently on week 13. It's been pretty interesting so far, with some weird twists. I read in an interview with the four writers who are on the series that when you are done reading 52, you'll want to go back and read it again, because some of the events you thought you understood, you'll understand in a new light, and there's also a bit of mystery.
I'm definitely thinking of reviewing Justice League of America, which has the first issue of the revamp coming out this month. I bought issue #0 last month and it was pretty good. Brad Meltzer, who wrote identity crisis, really does a fantastic job.
Well, that was my idea. We'll see if I stick to it.

Sounds cool to me.
I kind of stopped reading the X-men stuff. It costs a lot to keep up with it all. I'm just going to keep buying the trade paperback collections of Ultimate X-men, I think.
Uh, yeah, thanks for reminding me that I'm in the middle of Identity Crisis...see what a week of vacation does to a person?
I tend to read whatever Phil buys since I'm not totally into comics myself, but some of them are really good.

I have "an idea." Why don't you update more than once per month? ;p
