  • >As a comic book fan, which DC comic book do you still look forward to reading?>

    This is a bit of a loaded question for me to answer. But answer it I will.

    I find that I’m not engaged by most of the DC line at the moment.

    Ever since their relaunch, I’ve not cared for the overall driving aesthetic that permeates their books–the story and storytelling choices they make.

    I find I can’t get invested in the characters–and these are characters that I’ve got forty years of history with.

    Now, that’s perfectly fine, presuming that they’re capturing another, younger audience. I’m hardly the target audience that they should be aiming for.

    But it does mean that I’m having a harder and harder time doing much more than being aware of what’s going on in their titles, and there isn’t all that much that I can say that I look forward to reading.

    That all said, the two most recent issues of JUSTICE LEAGUE, with the Metal Men, were pretty good.

      I have also struggled with DC’s relaunch which is a shame because I like so many of their characters.
