Let's Be Friends Again! Forums

Definitely:

Justice League - While I haven't really liked or was interested in anything Johns wrote besides Sinestro Corps War (one of my favorite stories), I love Lee's artwork and I mean it's the friggin' Justice League!

Action Comics - My favorite comic book series was All Star Superman. I really feel that Morrison is the only guy that seems to really GET Superman. And his new "Bruce Springsteen" approach is the most brilliant way to play with the character. Not only that, but the solicit for issue #3 is SOO awesome. Then add Morales' gorgeous pencils and I am absolutely sold.

Superman - I love Superman and while I'm not the biggest fan of the costume re-design and the solicits make this Superman more like Superboy Prime than the new Action Comics Superman, I like how this line seems more interested in the relationships Clark/Supes faces.

Superboy - I'm still on the edge about this decision, but I'm a newbie in comics still and I do like the character. And I am a little intrigued as to how exactly they are going to change him from his current incarnation. The cover art looks pretty bad and the synopsis' seem "MEH".

Batman - Even though I am currently more of a Superman fan, I grew up watching the animated series. Everything I have read and seen from the new Batman line, it looks like I may get big time back into Batman. Snyder is also a genius from what I hear in how he handled Detective Comics. The artwork for this line also seems like the best work of any of the DCnU lines.

Detective Comics - This is another one that I'm not too familiar with, but it looks pretty great from what I've read about it so far. It's definitely a "MEH" and could be downgraded, but I want to give it a shot.

Batman & Robin - I was told by a friend to check out Tomasi. I'm also really excited to see the dynamic between Bruce and Damian fighting crime together.

Nightwing - I can't dress up as him this Halloween and not have any of his comics. While I'm not a fan of his pseudo-Batman&Robin movie costume, I have a feeling it's going to be a great line. I also happen to like Grayson a lot. It does seem like it will kind of drag on until the third or fourth issues though.

Green Lantern - I'm picking this up for two reasons... I think Geoff is absolutely brilliant when only writing for Green Lantern. Second, Sinestro as a GL again? Wow, I'm sold.

Green Lantern: The New Guardians - I thought Bedard's work was pretty good (War of Green Lanterns... None of that Aftermath nonsense), but I'm more of a fan of Kyle than Hal. I also think this concept of a "rainbow corps" is pretty friggin' amazing.

Red Hood and the Outlaws - Red Hood leading his own team? I will at least get the first issue just because of the art and the synopsis alone.

The Flash - I think Manapul's art so far has been great and his idea to also speed his mind along with his ability to hyper accelerate and decelerate (super speed) is a fresh new take. People seem to like John's work with The Flash and Manapul has A LOT of experience working with John's so this could in fact be a great series that not many people are talking about.


I will check it out:

Batman: Dark Knight - Only after the second issue. I've been told that while Finch's artwork is brilliant, his storytelling is only subpar. Starting on the third issue (with the cover of that sexy bunny woman), Jenkins is taking over for the writing so I am willing to give it a chance then.

Everything else - If I hear enough buzz about something, I will probably give it a shot.

Too many people choosing Detective Comics...............................when they shouldn't !!!

What's wrong with Detective?

Why's that? 'Cause it's not being written by Snyder anymore?

Most Def:
All Star Western
Frankenstein
Will Check:
Animal Man
Swampy
A hellava lotta others
F Naw:
JL
Hawk and Dove
Aquaman
Fuckin anything Johns is writing
Teen Titans

While I'd be willing to try out more, for now I'm sticking to creators I like and anything that sounded interesting from the first solicits. Using that, I only have 3 so far:

Action Comics
All-Star Western
Demon Knights

The good thing is, I'm already sure I can count on this board to point out more titles I can spend my money on.

And I think Demon Knights is the one I'm looking forward to the most. Paul Cornell's Captain Britain book was so good. You really can't beat Dracula Makes Shit Happen On The Moon.

I am so excited to see what happens with this, I am going to re-state I am buying a copy of each. Yes, that includes Hawk and Dove.

I am totally willing to go all-in on this just to see what comes out. Like we all know that Hawk and Dove is probably gonna be terrible, but I don't want to just buy certain titles, because I don't want to miss out on stuff that actually might be good that I didn't even consider buying. And again, we know somethings will be terrible, but somethings we think might be great could be absolute garbage. I don't actually recommend everyone do this, I'm just saying is all.

And again, this is only for the #1's. If I don't like the first issue, then I'll drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot. In a heartbeat.

I am not too stubborn to admit that I really like this cover.

I salute you for this. So much so that I may join you in this.

I really wanted to do this but my budget won't allow it. I think I will pick up my leftovers when they go cheap on the DC Comics App a month down the line.

Superman fighting giant robots never did nobody any harm. That's a fact.

I really really think that is definitely a problem that DC is sort of made for themselves. I honestly think that every #1 should have been a dollar to get people to buy more of them. As it is DC is only hurting themselves because a large majority of people are simply financially unable to jump in and only pick and choose a few titles. A book should only fail because it's bad, not because people can't afford to buy it.
