I try not to let my nerdy fangirlishness cloud my judgement on the things that I read and see. It’s easy to get lost in entertainment, and it’s hard, sometimes to step back from the things that I love and criticize their problems. This hasn’t been the case with most of DC’s new 52.

The time is nearly upon us, everyone. This week marks the first issue of the all new Justice League, written by Geoff Johns and drawn by Jim Lee.

The cover to Red Hood and the Outlaws #2, one of DC’s New 52 dropped on Monday, and here is the cover: Oh, Starfire.
