DC's relaunched Batman comics

I don't normally make news posts as this blog is about how comics affect me personally, but sometimes those two coincide. As you probably know by now, DC announced on Tuesday that they will renumber and revamp their superhero comics this September. They've trickled news about what the 52 #1s will be, starting with the announcements on Thursday of the (more or less) Justice League-related books and on Friday of the Green Lantern books. Little of this deeply affects me.

Today's announcements (of Batman #1, Detective Comics #1, Batman and Robin #1 and Batman: The Dark Knight #1), however, do affect me. I'm a big fan of Batman and his “family”, so I've been eager to see their plans.

Weekly Previews for December 29, 2010

December has been a crazy month for me, but things should be getting back on track now. That means I'll actually be posting some reviews and maybe some features, too. And most importantly (at least right now): this should be the last Previews to come after-the-fact (unless you're in a country where comic book day is not Wednesday).

With that out of the way, let's see what's up for this week! We've got a couple of great books by Jonathan Hickman, the last of the new Bat-books, another Chaos War tie-in, and a few others that've piqued my interest. Read on to see 'em all.
