My List of Big Things to look out for in Comic Books for 2012

Comics will be epic in 2012. There are a lot of interesting stories coming and the results could change the game for a long time. So I'm going to touch on some of the big things coming in the world of comics.

Donna Troy - Donna has been absent from DC's New 52, or is she? Could she be the Mysterious Woman lingering in the background? Or will she play a bigger role? Remember, Donna is an anomaly in the DC universe. Her deaths and resurrections usually has a purpose. Could this be one of purposeful moments?

Phoenix - The Phoenix force is returning. What does that mean for Hope, Jean Grey and the X-Men? Everything!

New 52 - The reboot of DC Comics really caused a stir. While was fun, it was a little crazy (Wonder Woman getting a Dad, Superman in jeans, Barbara Gordon walking). It will be interesting to see where the stories will take us.

Films - 2012 will bring some BIG comic book movies like: 'The Avengers', 'The Dark Knight Rises' and 'Man of Steel'. I hope they deliver or we won't see anymore CBMs for awhile.

X-Men vs The Avengers - Someone dies and the both teams will change forever. But how? We will have to wait and see.

Watchmen 2 - This has caused a divide amongst comic book fans. The possible prequel will give us a deeper story on the 'Moore' heroes, but will it be worth it?

Man of Steel is due for relase June 14th 2013, not 2012. WB themselves comfirmed it after some daft website claimed it had swapped places with The Hobbit. it hasn't.
