DC Rebirth Event Review Part 1

          The first issue, the 84 page special was written to spark excitement and interest for the Rebirth Event.

                   

          It did exactly that. It hooked me along with many others!

          Batman, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Aquaman.

          It got me fired up and into and involved with every single issue.

          It is something that in a year people will be like wow I was apart of that event, I was apart of the DC Universe Rebirth event!

         My favorite so far has been Green Arrow with Superman and The Flash close behind!

         I just love the frequency of the issue releases. Twice a month keeps me going and keeps me actively reading!

         The only thing I do not like about DC Rebirth is the Suicide Squad. Not an appropriate title or name for a comic because of all the people committing suicide which is a tragedy.

          Bad title for a comic and the movie is really offensive and provocative.

         The Blue Beetle, Supergirl, Batgirl, and Superwoman have yet to make their appearance in the event!

        There is the New-Superman character is really funny and I am glad he is a monthly issue because when I read the comic I feel like I am receiving laughing gas which monthly issues give time to get the giggles out!

        The DC Universe Rebirth has been everything I had hoped for!
