Year Of The Villain Hell Arisen #1

Making approximately 1000% more sense than a recent issue of Justice League, this mini-series is where the future of the DC Universe is headed. Don't like Anatomy-flex Lex? Not a fan of Pointy-face Judge Batman? That doesn't matter because Dan Didio doesn't like Geoff Johns, and Doomsday Clock is over. This is the book that leads into the next big thing, without too much over the top "Metalosity". It's a particularly good book if you've avoided any of the latest batch of Snyder-induced crazy. This issue literally brings you up to speed on all of the current Matrix 3 levels of confusion that reading a few pages of Justice League can induce. It's not going to change your life, but it's better than a bag full of screaming Monitors. Highly recommended for anybody interested in DC, those who want to see the villains fight instead of the heroes, and anybody of the opinion that James Tynion IV could out-write Scott Snyder, even if he couldn't use verbs.
