Dilma & Mônica

DC's New 52

Today DC Comics makes history by becoming the first major comic book publisher to offer its entire line for downloading online on the same day and date as its paper books hit the shelves. And to mark a collection of 52 #1 issues, the DC Universe is also getting a reboot. How the "New" DC is going to fare with fans and new readers is anyone's guess, but the fact that DC (and Marvel, movie-wise) made comics stay relevant during the Digital Revolution is a super-heroic feat.
