DC Universe: Rebirth #1
by Geoff Johns
The DC Rebirth series has been my first introduction to comic books full stop. I'm a huge superhero fan, but fell into my superhero love through the movie root. This was largely the marvel movies, however, after discovering the amazing Justice League animation show I came to fall in love with the DC characters and universe. Following the disappointing movies from DC, I decided that I needed to delve into the world of comics. The reason I decided to start with the Rebirth series is because I have been massively overwhelmed by the plethora of DC comic books available, and this was the newest, most accessible way to start reading.
The first time I read DC Universe: Rebirth I was admittedly very confused about the whole storyline and what was going on. From what I understand, the Rebirth series is an attempt to reboot the New 52 series and right-the-wrongs of that universe reboot that had fans in despair. Therefore, to newbie readers of DC comics, this comic could definitely be confusing and mind-boggling as an introduction. On the second read-through, however, after getting through most of the Wonder Woman Rebirth series which I really came to enjoy, many of the story-lines, plot points and characters were starting to make much more sense.
What I enjoyed most about Rebirth was the small snippet introductions to many of the main DC characters. Rebirth intersected a small plot-point and problem in many of the main DC characters lives which sets up this Rebirth universe to deal with a big universal issue and many small character plot lines. The main focus admittedly was the Flash and Wally West as he rushes across time trying to contact various individuals, however, I absolutely adore the Flash and was really interested to see how this storyline developed. This actually encouraged me to pick up [b:Titans: Rebirth #1|30270591|Titans Rebirth #1|Dan Abnett|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1465079300s/30270591.jpg|50747596] which I would not have done usually. I think if you're not a Flash fan, you might find this a little irritating as most of the big guys, Superman/Batman/Aquaman have very minor appearances.
Overall, I enjoyed the art-style, the snippets of action and the collection of characters that were introduced here. I'm really interested to see where the Rebirth series will be going.
