Comic Book Review: DC The New 52 #1

Technically this isn't a "comic book" per se, but with all the hype and buzz building up, plus the fact that it has a #1 numbering attached to it, I have every reason to believe that DC Comics may start producing a series of "preview books" each month that are similar to the competition (i.e Marvel Previews). So without further ado, let's begin the review proper.

Since the big announcement last month that they were going to revamp the universe and relaunch majority of their books, DC Comics has earned both the ire and admiration of its entire fanbase. After over 70 years of publishing comics and characters that have remained mostly true and unchanged in structure, the publisher (under the direction of co-publishers Dan Didio and Jim Lee) has decided to give a complete makeover to their titles and heroes, paving the way for a bold and new direction which they have dubbed "The New 52".

Death Of Spider-Man?!

First, he loses his uncle...

Then, he loses his marriage...

Now, he's going to die?!

I don't know what Marvel is planning for our friendly neighborhood webslinger, but after the events of Civil War, Brand New Day, and the upcoming Big Time, it seems like Peter Parker's alter ego, the Amazing Spider-Man, will face death itself. Revealed in comic blogsite Newsarama, Marvel Comics' upcoming December issue of Previews reveals a somber image in the form of "The Death of Spider-Man", which only suggests that the webslinger's going to meet his doom. However, with a title like this, I'm not even getting anxious or excited. They've already killed and resurrected so many comic book characters before (see Superman and Cap), it's become routine, and a vicious cycle of superheroes playing "russian roulette" and buying the big one to get fans talking. Regardless, I'll keep tabs on this story as it develops. Newsarama's got the scoop on this, so check out the source article for more info and updates.
