If the DC reboot this week has given you a confuse, or if you’re not a reader of the DC Universe but think you might want to give it a shot, there’s a handy-dandy database of reader’s guides already compiled to help you out. Tim Callahan has been writing concise, detailed guides since the reboot was announced early this summer. Now, all 52 are available for free on Tor.
The summaries are designed to give both established fans and new comics readers some background information on the comic characters and their current creators. Tim has been going through all the titles alphabetically, with the final two posts coming this week!
From Action Comics to Voodoo, they’re all there. Which is great because at this point it’s hard to know if anyone has a real idea of what’s going on.
Thanks, Ariana!
