DC Relaunch: What we know so far…

Dan DiDio, Bob Wayne, Jim Lee, and others are traveling around the country talking with comic book retailers about the new DC Relaunch and how it affects them. Along the way, we're picking up bits and pieces of what is changing and what is staying the same.

GAME REVIEW: Duke Nukem Forever

After running, gunning, and grunting in the Duke’s boots for a week I’ve been trying very hard to pick out the one element of the game that I disliked the most.

RETRO REVIEW: Daredevil Battles Hitler #1 (July 1941)

Dubya Dubya Two... A time of war. A time of superheroes punching out world leaders. A time of DAREDEVIL!!!

REVIEW: Flashpoint – The Outsider #1 (of 3)

Who is The Outsider? How did he come to be? Did he raid Grant Morrison's closet? Answers (to some of those questions, anyway) are forthcoming!

REVIEW: Thunderbolts #159

The Raft is in ruins, The Thunderbolts are scattered, The Juggernaut is possessed... What do you bet this isn't an episode of 'Wizards of Waverly Place?'

With the Brightest Day behind him, Ollie is off to a new start (for a couple of months, anyway.) Is it all it's cracked up to be?

THE GOON #34
Creators: Eric Powell
Colorist: Dave Stewart
The Goon’s been away for a while, and he’s horrified by what’s been passing for horror in his absence! When a bunch of gothy vampires summon some of the new generation for revenge on the Goon, they discover just how little tolerance he has for sparkliness. The Goon returns to its bimonthly schedule, and nothing beloved by ten-year-old girls is safe!

MAJOR SPOILERS POLL OF THE WEEK
When it comes to fights, there is the My Dad Can Beat Your Dad, Superman vs. Hulk, My Fav vs. Your Fav, but rarely do you see fights involving one married couple taking on another married couple.
To be honest, the current relationship status between Green Arrow/Black Canary and Hawkeye/Mockingbird seems to always be up in the air, but for the sake of this Poll of the Week (submitted to us by @Praion via Twitter), we’re considering the couples married.
FIGHT!

FIGHT! Which married couple would emerge victorious?

Green Arrow and Black Canary

Hawkeye and Mockingbird

Alan Moore’s Top Ten
Top Ten Volume One Writer: Alan Moore Artist: Gene Ha, Zander Cannon
The story revolves around the day-to-day lives of the police officers at the 10th Precinct Police Station and is similar in tone to classic television police dramas like Hill Street Blues, which Moore has described as an influence. The book also addresses a wide range of prejudices and issues, but with a science-fiction twist; monsters, robots and fantasy creatures often face the bigotry and problems faced by real-world human minorities.
The series is noted for its comic-book references and visual “sight gags” relating to the genre. For example, a caped street-corner watch-vendor uses a cardboard sign advertising “signal watches”, and a hot-dog vendor cooks his wares with heat vision. One plotline involves a boy-band called Sidekix whose hit single was called “Holy Broken Hearts”. Likewise, most advertising, signage and graffiti in the Top 10 universe contains references to the world of comic books and super powers (e.g. a clothing store called “The Phonebooth”) and crowd scenes usually feature many characters from sci-fi and comic books

I’m waiting to listen to the discussion of Top Ten until after I actually read it, but as a HUGE fan of Green Arrow and Black Canary, I had to take my self-righteous comic book nerd moment and get all indignant at Matthew for calling Dinah “Diana.”
She is a wonderful woman, but Wonder Woman ain’t got nothin’ on Dinah.
