New 52 came along and the number one burning question on everyone's mind was..."What does that mean for Sgt. Rock?" Well wonder no longer, dear listener, because his grandson is here for Call of Duty Modern Warfare the comic anthology! That's right, it's Men of War!

In this house, we love DC's own Mr. T, but does his weird short book stack up? Kinda! Come listen to us marvel at the bizarre stuff they give the world's third smartest man to deal with in his first ever solo book!

Is this guy really the most dangerous man in the DC Universe? If you ask us, it's a bloody good time...and we do mean extremely extremely bloody! Do you think Joe Manganiello is as weird of a choice as we do?

Static is back in the DC Universe proper, and now he's left Dakota for New York? So does this fresh start stack up to the show, or did we miss something? Hello?

Rob Liefeld is back on a niche book he once defined, and Maggie is back on the "Young Justice" desk! Where the heck is this story going, by the way?

Carter Hall is done with the Hawk...but the Hawk is not done with him....and something MORE VICIOUS than he can imagine is...well, we're not exactly sure what. This one was weird.

After hyping it up for months, it's finally here! Wonder Woman is one of Alex's favorite runs in the New 52, but what does Zipper think? Also, as a treat, here's WAY too many thoughts on WW1984!

Post Flashpoint, things are a little different in Barry Allen's world, but at least now we know that the opposite of a man so fast he can be anywhere at once is a bunch of the same dude who can all go different places! Weird, right? It is!

The basis for Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen, Captain Atom is kind of like a Hydrox in that he's been overshadowed by a copy of himself, but surprisingly, he has a pretty interesting little story to tell here! How would YOU cope with near unlimited power when everyone on Earth is afraid of you?
