DCnU 1st Year Anniversary Special #2 : The Best and Worst

DC's New-52's Best and Worst

DC's New-52 reboot completes one year this September. The much hyped retooling after the epic event that was Flashpoint, happened last year and created a storm of controversy, criticism and heavy praise, all at the same time. The effort brought some characters into the spotlight, while some fan favourite characters and their storyline were seriously altered.

To celebrate this long and intense first year, here is my compilation of some best and worst things the New-52 has brought to the fans at large.

DCnU 1st Year Anniversary Special #1 : Heroes Missing

DCnU : The Missing Pieces, the Heroes we've lost!

One year.

One long, year of the DCU New 52. One long year filled with roller coater ups-and-downs that have delighted and aggravated fans across the comic-readership spectrum.

There have been first attempts at crossover, some successful (Night of Owls, Rotworld) and some... not so much (The Culling, Basilisk Rising) and – so far – three waves of releases including the titular first wave of 52.

There are books I've loved and books I've hated and some that aren't quite in either camp – others still that started at one place and jumped to another. The point of all this is, dear reader, that it's been pretty crazy as you're well aware.

BUT! This first year over and DC releasing a whole slew of #0 issues this week, we're looking at finally getting at least some of the many questions about origins and continuity answered (hopefully) through these titles.

With this in mind, we here at Comic Addicts are starting a series of weekly specials that will cover various aspects of the DCnU, from reviews to top-10 style lists and others. Starting now! (so click ahead and read on!)
