When You Think Of Peeling, Think Of DC Comics

[woodwardiocom]

DC Comics has decided to go with a new logo again, even though the current periwinkle one is only seven years old.

I gotta say, yuck. I mean, "peeling"? This is what DC is all about? The stars of previous logos were abstract, sure, but at least they didn't stand for sunburns, scabs, and the stay-fresh top on yogurt cups.

I've been seriously thinking of making The New 52 my clean break from DC Comics. (And still could, since New 52 trades haven't started to come out yet.) This isn't the straw that broke the camel, but Humpy is definitely visiting the chiropractor...

DC has announced the final issue of Static Shock, so we know how long the "52" marketing gimmick has lasted.

I'm actually enjoying a couple of the new titles—especially Supergirl and Action Comics, and Wonder Woman is interesting. But I'm pretty much indifferent to the current DC universe as a whole.

Well, that's... a bandaid. Over a superhero. What message is that sending OUR CHILDREN???

Morrison's Action Comics is really good and.... that's about it.
