DCnU Podcast: The New 52 (Part One)

2011-08-31T23:00:00.001-04:00

In the words of Rob Bricken, this is the Crisis On Infinite Reboots. DC Comics have rebooted their entire comic universe, integrated a couple of universes, went digital, made a bunch of weird and controversial creative decisions, and made a horrible motion comic promoting the reboot. And did something involving Flashpoint. All during the summer. What did YOU do on your summer break?

In either case, we made a podcast and talked/debated the main general points of DC's nuclear option. For more info, including some site news, go here: http://goo.gl/cWq2Y
