DC NEW 52 Wrap Rap: Part 2
In which we wrap the rap up! RH: If in a month, or six months, or a year, sales are exactly back to what they were, is this a total failure? Or did the line need a shot in the arm anyway? How much regret do you foresee DC feeling at some point down…

FALL TV EXTRAVAGANZA!!! PRIME SUSPECT **1/2 (out of ****) Maria Bello take over for Helen Mirren, something no actress wants to do unless we’re talking about a prequel to Red, in Prime Suspect.

THE POP FILTER TOP TEN CREEPIEST HERO/SIDEKICK RELATIONSHIPS 10-Booster Gold and Skeets So let me get this straight.
