DC Rebirth #1 – It Was Already Spoiled
DC Rebirth: pretty much the entire thing has been released in previews. Which is a little sad, I was really hoping for something of substance. Instead it was a quick rehash of what led to the last reboot, and why this “new threat” may or may not need to be dealt with. Spoilers if you…
