September 12, 2011 2:16 pm I read and collected comics over 15 years ago and the DC New 52 has drawn me back in. As a publicity stunt, it definitely worked on me and now I'm trying to learn what the industry is all about these days. However, now that I've been picking up a few comics here and there I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. I've done as much research as I can and only picked up comics that people seem to say are the ones I should be reading based on the writers and artists. Some of the art has definitely piqued my interest, but only a small percentage. On the writing side, I have to say I'm pretty unimpressed. Either everything is written out in such detail that it feels like you're being hit over the head or it's so sparse that it's completely confusing. My assumption is that people are writing with an over arching story-line that requires you to buy the next comic to learn what's happening, but there isn't anything drawing me in to even find out where things are going. I still have my hopes up and will continue to search for something that grabs me, but so far, color me unimpressed. Based on what Vumbo said, it looks like I just need to find more indie books.
