Greeting guys and gals! Welcome to Week 3 of the “New 52″ Podcast from Comic Impact. This time around, Sheldon ate too much salad and couldn’t join the fun, so we have Simon, Rob, and (making her first appearance on any podcast) Susan! Basically, we love anything by Scott Snyder. The love affair with him continues. Susan and Rob curse a lot about the new Catwoman title (literally). Simon is underwhelmed by a few of his pick ups this week, and everyone’s pull list gets shorter. Listen to Rob and Simon bond...

Courtesy of The Source. That’s right folks, each and every one of DC Comics’ “New 52″ have sold out at the distributor level… and that includes the ones that have not even been released yet. Today DC confirmed the news that all fifty-two will receive second printings and elaborated on the impressive numbers. · ACTION and BATGIRL already have third printings and JUSTICE LEAGUE, the bestselling comic book to date for all of 2011, is in its fourth printing. · AQUAMAN #1 is the eleventh title...

I was not expecting this. Something in the “New 52” that exceeded expectations – I never thought that would happen. It has, and that makes me hate life a little less this week. I think the biggest surprise to me was that it was with a book that I was so sure was going to be terrible. Green Lantern #1 made me smile. This is Geoff Johns doing what he does best, and he does do this best. Hal Jordan is Mr. Johns’ soul mate this much is clear. They understand one another and it comes through in every page of this book. Sinestro...

Ah, Comic Impact. It feels great to be writing for you once again. It’s been almost a year and a few months since I’ve had an active presence on the site, and shamefully almost the same amount of time since I last read a comic book. My first year at University needed my full attention you see. Shoot me, I’m a bad bitch. But a fresh start can provide a fresh perspective. Because I’ve not read any weekly comics for just over a year, I’ve had no idea what’s been going on with any character under...

Batman & Robin has been one hell of a ride with Grant Morrison. He gave us Dick Grayson as the Dark Knight and Damien as the disrespectful Robin. These two heirs to the Dark Knights throne were playing at being in the big time all by themselves. They handled themselves pretty fair if you ask me. Now with Batman & Robin #1 by writer Peter J. Tomasi and artist Patrick Gleason we get a fresh take as Bruce is back in charge and his son Damien is riding shotgun as Robin. Is this book good enough to keep you interested or...

A new week and a new set of “NEW 52″ put out by DC. This week we get something a bit out of the ordinary as DC is mixing in more characters that used to a part of the Wildstorm Universe and the Image universe prior to that. That’s right, this week we get GRIFTER # 1 by writer Nathan Edmondson and artist CAFU. So how does this Grifter stack up to the Grifter of the 90’s?Read on to find out! I have been a big fan of Grifter as a character since I first read him in Wild C.A.T.S #1 by Image Comics back in...

Before I start off this review, I just want to say that I am a huge fan of the character of Frankenstein, both in comics and in other formats. Also, Jeff Lemire is one of the most original comic writers of his generation. Now saying all this, was Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #1 going to live up the hype? After all, I did pick Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #1 Flashpoint as my pick of the week back in June of thisyear. When I first opened the book, I was not a fan of the artwork. I told myself, “Ok, they are going...

Comic Impact! Are you ready to find out what we thought about the first batch of “NEW 52″ from DC? Good, because we are throwing a wave of knowledge at you in this supplement to our usual P.O.W. podcast. Don’t worry. We want to help you be informed on what books aren’t worth reading and which ones the team loves! So, join Simon and Sheldon as they dive head first into a sea of superhero goodness! This week, we discuss the first wave of books put out by DC which include the following: Action Comics,...

Batwing, the character that originally made his debut in Batman Incorporated, finally gets his own monthly book from the capable minds of Judd Winick and Ben Oliver. When it was first announced as one of the new titles in DC’s relaunch, I was skeptical. I thought, “They are going to give that guy a book?” Now to clarify, that statement is more a reflection on my thoughts on Batman Incorporated than the character of Batwing specifically. Then, at Comic Con, I was fortunate enough to hear writer Judd Winick talk...

I am probably going to make a lot of enemies here, but I never really cared for the original Batgirl. I really enjoyed the Stephanie Brown run that just ended, but my Batgirl was always Cassandra Cain. I understand that Barbara Gordon was always the first and the fan favorite, but she was never really my cup of tea. I, however, am a HUGE fan of Oracle. It’s like the second the Joker’s bullet shattered Barbara’s spine, she became an interesting character. It might have been harsh, but that was how I felt. Needless to say,...

If I am being totally honest with you all (and I hope I can be), I was not excited about the “New 52” from DC. I’m a DC girl and have been my entire life. To have them decide to change my world was not something I was too happy with. Now, I let down my guard a bit when I read that J.T. Krul was still going to be writing Oliver Queen’s adventures. I have to say, I was right to do so, because Green Arrow #1 was a fun ride with my favorite man with a quiver. Let me first get into the things that I liked about this book....

We want your voice to be heard! Without further adieu,...

One of the books I was most anxious to read out of “The New 52″ fromDC Comics was Swamp Thing. Not because I don’t trust Scott Snyder -after all, in my eyes, he is the greatest Batman writer of all time. After talking to him at Comic-Con this past year about Swamp Thing (you can watch my interview here), I was sure Snyder was going to do a great job on the book Yet I had no idea how disturbing this book was going to be. Without telling you everything that happens in this first issue, here is a bit of a rundown...

I don’t know much about Animal Man. When I read DC, he was never a character that I knew about. Ok, well, that isn’t entirely true. I knew him as the guy in the lame costume with the weird triangle goggles. That was about the extent of my knowledge on the character, but Buddy Baker a.k.a. Animal Man is a cool concept, and if done right he could really be a hit. In one of the first “New 52,” writer Jeff Lemire and artist Travel Forman bring a more grounded, back-to-basics version of a superhero to...

The first set of the “NEW 52″ books is upon us, and the question you all have burning deep within your gut is, “Yes Sheldon, but do they suck?” Well I am here to tell you: not all of them suck! In fact, a good majority of them are AMAZING… dare I say it GREAT books. The first book I am here to talk to you about today is Stormwatch, by Whovian writer Paul Cornell and artist Miguel Sepulveda. Read on to find out if it should be lost somewhere in the toilet area of a T.A.R.D.I.S or if you should start...

When I first heard about DC Comics announcing their line-wide relaunch, aka the New 52, I was hoping that Grant Morrison was going to be writing one of the new Bat books. He is my favorite writer in comics history, and Batman is my favorite DC character; and I think his run on Batman and Robin was nothing short of a perfect 10. Then I found out that Morrison was going to work on Action Comics, and I told myself that because All Star Superman was amazing, I could be sure that Grant would do a great job on this book. This...

Have you ever read one of our reviews and said, “Hey, I don’t agree with that and I could totally write something better than these clowns”. Well then you are probably in the majority, and that is why we want to give you, our readers, the chance to sound off with your own Community Reviews! Thats right Comic Impact wants your voice to be heard. Starting this week, and every week in September, we will be putting up a list of eligible books in the “New 52″ that we want YOU to write about.

DC’s relaunch is here, and I couldn’t be happier. Hi. I’m Matt, the new guy at Comic Impact and I’m here to talk about my picks for DC’s “New 52.”  There are many books that have peaked my interest but I think two will stand out  and really impress people. I am really excited for Nightwing by Kyle Higgins and Eddy Barrows. After his stint in the cape and cowl Dick Grayson has never been more popular. Writer Kyle Higgins has proven he has a great handle on Dick Grayson’s voice...

There’s a whole lot of excitement going on with DC’s “New 52″! Everyone here at Comic Impact is so excited, and we want to share our excitement with you wonderful people. What books am I excited for? Well, you’re just going to have to watch the video to find out. I’m a nice guy, I’ll give you a couple of hints. One book I’m looking forward to involves a certain classic monster that was once made famous by the classic actor, Peter Boyle. The other book I talk about involves a guy...

Hey everyone! Sheldon here. Whew! What a night. It finally happened. Flashpoint ended and Justice League #1 came out to usher in a new age of comics. The Digital Age! That’s right folks  DC has fired the first loud shot across the comic industries collective bow. What does it all mean? Can I now buy all my comics over the interwebs? How does that work? Well just check out this little video I did, and hopefully I will answer most,if not all, your questions regarding your new digital copy ofJustice League #1 by Jim Lee and...

Hidey-ho! Susan here with my pick for the “New 52″. Personally, I don’t know why I even have to write this. We all know which book I’m going to pick.

IF that is the case, then watch this video to get a better idea of how awesome I am, and then go back, read all my stuff, and realize how silly you are for not guessing this book in the first place.
