10 Best Comics Of 2016
2. DC Rebirth Special
"I love this world...but there's something missing." That's what we first hear the long absent Wally West say as this book opens, and he's right.
While Rebirth partially reads like a preview magazine, showing what's to come, it primarily acts as a promise to readers. The New 52 came about to streamline the DC Universe and help untangle some of the ever growing convoluted continuity, but in that process also took away some of what fans love about DC. Rebirth promised to bring back the lost elements and to make something new at the same time.
And then there's Wally. The Flash for over 20 years and for many of us, the defining Flash. Wally's return and embrace with Barry stands out as the most emotional moment in comics this year.
Rebirth also set up what is said to be a 2 year long story, bringing Watchmen into the DC Universe. The untouchable story will be interacting with the primary DC characters, and I can't wait to see how that unfolds.
