Yeah, tomorrow DC starts their new weekly series Countdown. I'm not normally one to buy into big events; I normally just buy comics that are written by someone I really like, but this one is! Paul Dini is masterminding it, and supposedly it will contain every character in the DC Universe!
I hope Superman's in it!
But anyways, yeah, it sounds fun. I can't wait.
Speaking of big comic book events, I'm also thinking of maybe following Planet Hulk when it starts. The story is so simple and full of promise, I should at least check it out. Basically, a year ago the Hulk was shot into space by Professor X and other smart guys (Iron Man, Dr. Strange, etc) to keep Earth safe from his rampages. Now he's coming back with an army and he wants revenge. That sounds good to me, and since the Marvel Universe is now chock full of superteams following the Civil War, there should be tons of sweet fights. If not, then Marvel has totally lost it. Actually, they have enough good titles out there, that they won't have "lost it," but c'mon. If this Planet Hulk thing doesn't contain at least five body-slams per issue, I'm out.
In fact, let's up the stakes a little: I am going to buy Planet Hulk, and keep track of the body-slams RIGHT HERE ON MY NERD BLOG. We'll keep track of this thing together.
