DC Comics Micro-Reviews All Day"},"content":{"rendered":"

<\/a>Today is a rare weekday off and yesterday was my first chance to get to my LCS in a month. That means I\u2019ve just picked up my first DC Comics from \u201cThe New 52\u201d and I\u2019ve got all day to read them. Sounds like a good recipe for some liveblogging…<\/p>\n

My schedule the last couple months has been particularly crazy. A promotion at work has soaked up my free time like a sponge and life threw me a few curveballs to keep the positives that come with a promotion in balance. Yesterday was the first time I could swing by my shop in September and I had a nice stack of “The New 52” waiting for me. I’d perused a few at the comic shop in the mall, read some reviews, and I couldn’t help but look at a spoiler here or there – so it’s not exactly all<\/em> fresh to me, but I’ll be reading everything anew today. <\/p>\n

As I’m prone to crazy blog experiments (let’s not talk about DailyThor, okay, I’m going to get that worked back into the schedule, darn it!), I had the silly idea to liveblog my thoughts about each issue as I read it. Fifty-two comics is a lot to read in a day, but let’s face it – these are modern comics, $3 for 7-8 minutes of entertainment. It won’t really take all day to read each one and do a little write-up. And I do mean little – just some first thoughts, what I liked\/didn’t, a rating, and a simple yes\/no system for if I’m going to keep reading beyond this issue. <\/p>\n

I’m going to use one of Searchable\/Sortable tables (like we used for our New 52 Solicits<\/a> a few months back) and I’ll update it as I read each #1. To help make this article not boring at the outset, I got a head start this morning and have Week One ready to go. <\/p>\n

As I’m reading along, I’d love to hear what you’ve been thinking about these new titles this month and how much agree or disagree with my assessments! <\/p>\n

And, yes, there will be some spoilers<\/strong>…<\/p>\n[table \"11\" not found \/]
