I read LOTS of Comics...

So, I read comics (duh, with a handle like, "SpiderMitch")... I read everything from the big boys like DC & Marvel, to the mid-sized Image, Dark Horse, IDW, & Aspen, to the independent and smaller publishers like Big Dog Inc & Zenescope...
Anyway, I thought it would be kinda cool to see if I could do a few write-ups after I finish reading comics. You may not necessarily agree with what I have to say, but that's the fun of reading comics: each person has different interpretation and tastes. Here I hope to share my experience (whether it be good or not so good), and have a little fun and humor along the way!

I'll try not to give away too many spoilers, but it's my hope you read these reviews after you've read the issue, so you can comment if you want!

I'm a little behind on what I read, since I try to do so chronologically. This often has me jumping from title to title to fit everything in a massive reading order. Generally I read simultaneous publishers / events at a time.
It may be handy to use the navigation filters above to jump to specific publishers, events, or specific characters!


P.S. I'll be using my phone & tablets to both read the comics & write these reviews, so if there's spelling mistakes / layout issues, sorry!

DC New52 - Teen Titans #0 (I wanna be Robin, Dammit!)

So since the Teen Titans were formed in the first few issues of their New52 relaunched title, this issue centers solely around Tim Drake and how he became Red Robin.  Nope... it wasn't from depression of the loss of Batman, or do to a new crusade in finding a lost-in-time Bruce... No-sir-ree-Bob... It was because he wanted to separate himself from being a nightly Jason Todd reminder.  Good-lookin out for Batman's psyche, Red Robin!
Anywho, this is a great tale narrated by Batman's own recollection of the events.  It occurs to me that this is not something you couldn't really do to introduce a brand new character, but with an already established one, you can play on the tense.  It's terrific we get to see this executed so well here.  I'm hoping the other New52 zero books will use this technique and be this satisfying.
