Hiya folks, time for a quick news update.
I’ve just finished reading the latest Superboy volume which is currently being turned into an evisceratory review-like thing, but in the meantime I’d like to address something.
Many of you (read: no-one at all) have asked me which New 52 entries I will and won’t be covering, since I’ve stated before there are plenty I won’t be touching even if it turns out they hold the Hitchhiker’s Guide question to the answer of 42. Thus, listed below are the books I will, might and will not be touching over the course of the next few months as DC’s reboot volumes round out their first year.

Anything not on this list is stuff I’ve already reviewed, and can be found on this site using the drop-down menus on the right-hand side of the page.
Truth be told, not many of you may read this or really care one way or the other, but I figure it’s just good to get down on paper what my actual plan is. Since money and time are both finite resources I need to budget both effectively whilst still getting a good look at most of the New 52 spectrum; the majority of things posted in the “not read” column just don’t stand out to me in any way (besides Suicide Squad for the massive fan backlash it’s incurred, at least over Harley Quinn’s hookerization). If people want to recommend specific titles to me I’ll be happy to read them, but as it stands this organisation of things is the most efficient use of my time.
Plus, y’know, comic books don’t grow on trees. I mean, the paper kinda does, but still.
