.......for CRAZY-Out-Of-Nowhere-Blow-Your-Mind Last Pages!!!]
<< 'BATMAN', 'SWAMP THING', 'DETECTIVE COMICS', & 'AQUAMAN'[really!]
are among the best '52 READINGS so far.... >>
Read about DC COMICS 'NEW-52 Reboot' here:
#2......IMAGE COMICS mega-hit monthly series 'THE WALKING DEAD' was picked
up as a AMC TV-Series, thereby exposing the already 'scary-hot' [#1 was selling for
over $150.00 BEFORE the show] exceptionally well written ongoing-Zombie-movie
comic to millions of new readers who have now [re]discovered the medium of REAL
[maturely created] sequential art....
#3......PETER PARKER DIES!...& stayed dead even! MARVEL COMICS modern-line
[....called 'ULTIMATE', begun in 2001...] heroes where stunned, as was all of New York,
when Spider-man was killed in a drag-out royal-rumble, leaving a grieving Aunt May, and
heartbroken Gwen Stacy & Mary Jane....
A new person, Miles is trying to take his place...
#4......OWLs, OWLs, EVERYWHERE!.....As noted above, 'BATMAN', part of DC's NEW-52
is experiencing a rebirth in popularity not seen since the first BAT-Movie back in 1989!
BATMAN writer Scott Snyder is kicking it in high gear using OWLs,...yes OWLs!
#5.....YOUNGER READERS Titles are once again coming out regularily as ARCHIE, SONIC,
and BETTY & VERONICA were joined by SUPER DINOSAUR, SNARKED, TOY STORY,
CARS, MUPPETS, FINDING NEMO, PEANUTS, GARFIELD, and more!
#6.....A GAME OF THRONES, once just an amazing novel series, now on TV and a
take-no-prisonors monthly comic series!
Also new: BUFFY Season 9, ANGEL Season 8, & Smallville Season 11,....only in comics!
#7......VERTIGO COMICS EXPAND!...DC Comics reality-based imprint hit full-stride as new-older-readers flooded in [thanks to exposure from things like 'The Walking Dead'] to discover & try comics which reinforce 'NOT treating their readers like a kid', with impressive complex storylines like 'FABLES' [fairy-tale characters existing in reality...LONG b4 you saw it on TV in Once Upon A Time or Grimm!], Y-the LAST MAN [last guy in world of women-but SO MUCH better than it sounds!], DMZ [about a present-day American Civil War], and many more reality-based, fantasy-set, horror-filled, or crime-oriented monthly comic books....
#8...DIRECTOR KEVIN [Clerks,Jay & Silent Bob] SMITH is writing comic books again, albeit an unlikely one [after writing a THE GREEN HORNET monthly title last year], as THE BIONIC MAN is BACK as a monthly comic after far too long!.....The Six Million Dollar Man comic writer CAN hit deadlines, after all!...... :o)
#9......X-MEN break-up looking out for HOPE, sending WOLVERINE back to open up
the X-School again, now called the 'Jean Grey School Of Higher Learning', with LOGAN
as the new headmaster!

NOTE:there MAY NOT be enough CHAIRS as all have been booked already so...if you can BRING A CHAIR!
The fold-up-in-a-bag kind work the best obviously, but any sturdy and SAFE ones are ok.
