Last month and this months are sure awesome times to be a fanboy/fangirl: there was the Otakuthon last month, the Montreal Comic-Con Fall Edition (which already happened on the weekend past) had occured, I checked out some cool comics last month as well as within the last two weeks (included ones bought at Montreal Comic-Con), Marvel celebrated Spider-Man's 50th anniversary with a series of one-shots honoring the superhero's past while geting readers ready for future adventures in Spidey comics, etc. Also, DC Comics is celebrating the first anniversary of its New 52 initiative with No. 0s (all to be released this month), featuring secret origins and mysteries regarding the various characters in the Post-Flashpoint DC Multiverse (or in other words, the DC New 52 Multiverse), though much of the DC New 52 take place in the Earth-O (New Earth) that is core existence of the multiverse itself.
Starting this month, I will try to post up on a monthly basis, lists of what DC and Marvel Hero comic book issues/one-shots I recommend you should check oot, whether they may sound exciting or sound like they may contain major events in the histories of the comic book heroes and heroines.
