What about the new ones that are coming up as replacements. What are people expecting to be the best of the bunch?

I've dropped Batman, Batgirl, and Justice League. Green Lantern is still keeping me interested enough to keep me reading.

Green Lantern: 1-6
Geoff Johns writing, Sinestro on the cover of #1 – and an interesting start for a character I’ve never had a real liking for. Interesting enough to make me want to read the next 5 issues and they were excellent enough to make me want to read the stuff that came before that I’ve missed out on.


I've never been a real fan of GL either, but a friend of mine at work lent me the tpb's for GL:Rebirth, and everything up through Blackest Night (all Geoff John's) and it was worth reading.

I haven't had a chance to read The Shade 1-6 yet, but I have it on good authority that it's pretty good. James Robinson writing, Cully Hamner and Darwyn Cooke art, Tony Harris covers....
Y'know. The Shade?
From Robinson and Harris' Starman, back in the 90's....

Anyone...?

So - 52 titles, over 300 books read and I liked less than half, 23 titles in all.

Maybe I'm being too harsh, maybe I'm not the target audience but there is a whole lot of rubbish in the new DC.

When I read the DC 52 Omnibus I thought they either were talking down to their audience or think their is audience is dumb. Really the best sellers of the new DC are Batman,Superman,Geoff Johns and Green Lantern titles. The same titles that were the best sellers before the reboot.
I rather watch Justified or Doctor Who. ;\)


Well you DID buy an Omnibus with 52 individual continued stories in it.

I've been enjoying it. Nothing spectacular but I like the approach Robinson is taking in giving us a glimpse of how The Shade's life and family evolved over the centuries. Certainly no regrets on buying this series.

@ Comicopolis

I don't see a review of Frankenstein? Did you not read that one?

Batman has been an amazing read so far and so sick visually. love the way this team works with gotham's hero. catwoman is pretty sweet, lots of violence and sexyness, and it looks good. justice league has been alright up to the third issue and wonder woman has been fun up to the fourth.
