DC's New 52: Reviews and Discussion (Spoilers welcolme and likely)

[Derishton]

The Venn Diagram approach to continuity is a great idea. That would apply to Animal Man and Swamp Thing, too. Books of Magic? Is Hellblazer now semi-officially the nuDC Constantine's future, somehow?

My Top Ten New DCU Titles:
1. Green Lantern: still love Johns' run on the title, great art, love Hal and Sinestro working together
2. Action Comics: Grant Morrison's Superman. Nuff said. And it's even comprehensible!
3. Batman: great writing, great artwork, great new villain.
4. Batman and Robin: my beloved old GLC team, good villain, good story.
5. Justice League: Jim Lee and Geoff Johns makes it A plus, but man what a waste of a story.
6. Green Lantern Corps: I love the GL franchise, and the new villains were decent.
7. Aquaman: nice art.
8. Dark Knight: dumb story, but David Finch artwork!
9. Justice League International: since we haven't seen the JL in the modern day yet, this book is nice for being the only big team book in the present day, and I like most of the characters. Good art, too.
10. Flash: it's alright.

I thought this was fairly interesting. I can't help but think Pandora looks like an aged Rachel Grey

Yeah, there's basically five really good books... after that it was hard to come up with five more

[Admiral_Young]

Oh damn. I guess I have to add "Batman Incorporated" to my list. It'd be number two under Action Comics So its a top six list.

1. Batman - The last couple issues have been meh, but it's a pretty good book. My favorite Batman book.
2. Superman - A book I more or less like it has its flaws though.
3. Action Comics - Enjoyable the last few issues have really improved.
4. Supergirl: A good book but I think the story need to pick up some pace.
5. Batgirl - A fun book with a fun character.
6. Aquaman - It's impressive to me how good this book is considering I've never been an Aquaman fan.
7. Catwoman - I've mostly enjoyed this, last couple issues are meh, though.
8. Flash - Hit and miss but mostly interesting.
9. Detective - I go either way on this book but it's shown signs of improvement the last couple issues.
10. The Dark Knight - I'm surprised how long I've stuck with this one, actually but the last couple of issues seem to be leading to something interesing.
11. Wonder Woman - This book really needs to pick up and I find the art to be hit and miss.
12. Batman and Robin - Dropped. Just wasn't doing anything for me.

You are just not reading the good titles. WonderWoman/Batwoman/Swamp Thing/Animal Man/I Vampire/All Star Western/Frankenstein are worlds better than the entire second half of your list. And Green Lantern? Really that titles belongs at #50 with shit like TDK.

Has anyone posted this? Earth 2 Superman design. It reflects Earth 2 Supergirl's pretty well.

I am reading Wonder Woman and Batwoman, and I do not get the praise for them. Aside from the interesting art design, nothing really stands out about Batwoman. I'm all for having gay/lesbian characters of course, it's just not an interesting book. And WW I've always struggled to care about. I don't like magic/gods in comic books. So combine that with the incredibly average art... meh.

[Guy Gardener]

The only thing I'm really really digging is Aquaman, and if you squint JLI, even with Jurgens, is basically the same book it was 24 years ago.

i read the first 6 issues of Superman the other night.

horrible.

But I needed that under my belt before Giffen set up shop.

[OdoWanKenobi]

Batman and Aquaman are the standouts for me. The Lantern books I'm reading mostly out of loyalty to the characters. They've been a bit less impressive than usual ever since Blackest Night, really. I'm enjoying the Flash, too, come to think of it.
