Beating the Winter Blues

This time of the year always makes me long for bright summer days and trips to Savannah, GA and the beach. Nothing is better than a hot summers night. So I decided to listen to this and make my life a little more summery despite the dreary Northeast Ohio weather.

2011 in Comics: A Time of New Beginnings

Property of DC Comics Inc.

So, 2011 was a big year in comics. Spiderman died, there was a new Venom, and DC revamped their entire universe with 52 new comic book series. Now I've always loved comic books, but I've never actually got into series. I usually just pick up 25¢ comics here and there and read them for fun. But, a couple weeks after The New 52 started being released, I walked into a comic book shop up in Cleveland, and I happend to see them all on the shelf. Of course, being me, I had to get a bunch of them. I picked up a few because I liked the characters, and I liked the art (which is a huge deciding factor in most of the books I pick up). I got Batman the Dark Knight, The Flash, Superman Action Comics, and Green Arrow. The first three I was hooked automatically, but the Green Arrow I was a bit disappointed in. I've also gotten hooked on Marvel's new The Defenders, Avenging Spider-man, Venom (a definite favorite), The Incredible Hulk, and Wolverine and the X-men. So basically, if your ever looking for a good series to follow, pick one of these up. Most are only a few issues in, and you might still be able to find the first issues at a local store (if you happen to be in my area, check out JC Comics & Cards).

Well, Happy New Year, and happy reading. Can't wait to see how the stories play out in 2012.
