The New 52's Second Wave

So I haven't even caught up on my current issues, but with the news of DC's Second Wave coming out, I wanted to set myself a new wish list and some new goals.

Now that the dust has settled with the first relaunch, and the interest (or lack thereof) in some issues has waned, DC comics is moving forward, releasing a set of six new titles.  With these, I'm mostly more intrigued than super excited to see a new version of an old friend.  For me, they are all new.

Earth 2
In keeping with the ever-present idea of multiverses (multiversi?), DC explores the adventures of the JSA on Earth 2. No doubt, the alternate versions of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc. will all collide with the current versions and confusion will commence.

World's Finest
A much "toned-down" or "reduced" version of PowerGirl teams up with The Huntress (both from Earth 2).  They are trapped in our universe and try to figure out how to get back to their own.  Should be a killer chick adventure.  Nothing as awesome as some bad-ass bitches kicking some supervillain ass.

Dial H
This is one that is making me a little excited.  It's a revival of an old title (Dial H for Hero and H.E.R.O.) which I had never heard of.  This title brings the possibility of metahuman powers to anyone.  Essentially, if you come into possession of this dial, and you dial H-E-R-O, you become a superhero.  If you see me frequenting random phone booths, you'll know why.

The Ravagers
I'll never know why I'm attracted to "teen-based" story lines in books, tv, movies or comics.  Either it's the kid in me who refuses to grow up, or the teacher in me, but this title looks fun.  As a spinoff to Teen Titans, these super-powered kids try to accept their powers while simultaneously trying to escape from a group who wants to recruit them as villains.  Run, Forrest, Run!


Should be an exciting new wave.  DC retired some titles to make way for these, but none of them were ones I read so I'm ok with that.  Hopefully, once I make my decisions to let titles go, I won't be overwhelming myself too much.

See you in the next multiverse!
