Comic Review: Batman/Superman #2 by Greg Pak and Jae Lee
Batman/Superman #2 Written by Greg Pak Art by Jae Lee When the New 52 reboot was announced, I was under the impression that the folks in charge would take a similar approach to the reboot back in 1986.

Two New Superman Comics Set to Debut From DC Comics
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a Superman fan through and through. Action Comics Annual #1 was the first comic I ever bought, and I became a fan immediately. Before the reboot, the Superman books were struggling. None of them, with the exception of Supergirl & Superboy had real traction with fans. When the reboot was announced, I […]
