I loved Green Arrow under Smith/Meltzer/Winnick.That Volume was great but I haven't read him since.Has Krull done anything interesting with him?
 
I'll try out:

AQUAMAN
BATGIRL
BATMAN
BATWOMAN
BLACKHAWKS
DETECTIVE COMICS
FLASH
GREEN LANTERN
I, VAMPIRE
JUSTICE LEAGUE
LEGION OF SUPERHEROES
MISTER TERRIFIC
NIGHTWING
SAVAGE HAWKMAN
SGT. ROCK AND THE MEN OF WAR
SUPERMAN
ACTION COMICS
SUPERGIRL
WONDER WOMAN

And I'll look over the other books and anything that seems interesting I'll buy.

No JSA title sucks.

If I like the books I'll buy 'em, if not I'll just drop them-no more obligation buying for me. When Marvel did this same trick with Heroes Reborn, I cut everything, bought the new series for a little while, then dropped them. Now the only Marvel I buy is Cap, and I buy it because they brought Bucky back.

I can see myself buying less than 5 DC books a month in a year or sooner.
 
I found Krul's run to be pretty mediocre.

But I think that was mainly due to him kind of being stuck writing Brightest Day-centric stories. I'm thinking he'll do better without having to work inside that framework.
 
Definitely,

ALL-STAR WESTERN
ANIMAL MAN
DEMON KNIGHTS
FRANKENSTEIN, AGENT OF S.H.A.D.E.
GRIFTER
JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK
SGT. ROCK AND THE MEN OF WAR
SWAMP THING
ACTION COMICS- Assuming it will be written by Morrison

Hopefully I can get a year out of most of them.
 
Animal Man
Aquaman - This is the book I'm most excited for
Batgirl
Batman
Batman and Robin - If Tomasi's new arc is as underwhelming as his first one, this will be dropped right away
Batwoman
Birds of Prey
Blue Beetle
Demon Knights - I really like Paul Cornell, so I'm leaning towards getting this
the Flash
the Fury of Firestorm
Green Arrow
Green Lantern
Green Lantern Corps
Green Lantern: The New Guardians
Savage Hawkman - I'm a Hawkman fan, sue me :o
Justice League
Justice League International
Legion Lost
Legion of Super-Heroes
Nightwing
Superman
Swamp Thing
Teen Titans - I am seriously considering dropping Teen Titans with this ********, really, I stayed on with Deathstroke's god awful Titans and this is what it takes for me to consider dropping the book
Wonder Woman

Upon further review, I think I'll skip:

Blackhawks
Legion of Superheroes
Sgt Rock
I, Vampire

Finally took a good look at the Superman costume...pure crap. I probably shouldn't buy the Superman titles out of protest.

Basically the Legion is dead to me now. I don't think they could take another reboot-they should have left them alone.

5 batman
6 batman and robin
9 batwoman
11 blackhawks
22 green lantern

Not getting Stormwatch with Martian Manhunter written by Cornell?

7. Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E.
8. Justice League by Johns and Lee
9. Justice League Dark by Milligan and Janin
10. Nightwing by Higgins and Barrows
11. Stormwatch by Cornell and Sepulveda
12. Swamp Thing by Snyder and Paquette
12. Wonder Woman by Azzarello and Chang
 
NONE!

Thank you DC for providing a prefect jumping off point! I will not be a part of all this nonsense! in 1 year after this DC reborn crap has failed, it will be back to the same old, same old.
 
One thing I like about this relauch is how everyone can start fresh and we can all start off at the same spot.

For me, Im definitely picking up Batman, Wonder Woman, Jla, Superman, and Batgirl.
 
I'll probably be picking up most of them, I'd like to give them a chance before I completely write them off. :)

All these I'll try the #1s for at least
 
While I love comics and am surprised to find comics that I'd like to read with this fresh start; I just can't do it. I don't have a job. So, I can't afford the hobby any more. Least not all these. For now I'll be stuck with ATLA's publishing scheduel and the Disney Adventure BOOM! stuff while it lasts for my girlfriend.

But, if I were reading them...

That's a good 20+ titles...about $62 a month. Just, can't.
 
I'll to be honest probably get 52 first issues since I'll have a ****load of money in September. I'll try them out and see which ones I really need and drop the rest.
 
ALL-STAR WESTERN
ANIMAL MAN(Definite)

SUPERMAN
ACTION COMICS

Anything with "definite" next to it are the books I'll be buying monthly. The rest I simply intend to check out and see if they're worth picking up beyond their first issues. This applies to most of the Batman titles. I wish Moritat wasn't the artist on All-Star Western, as I find him boring and bland. Sgt. Rock would be cooler if it was still a WW2 comic, but Ivan Brandon's a good writer so we'll see. Justice League is a maybe, as I don't like Jim Lee and I dont really care for Geof Johns, which is why Green Lantern is also a maybe. I'm simply iffy on the creative team behind Hawkman, as I think he should be a bit more light-hearted, much more adventurous than "Savage". Superman is a maybe, as well. I may wait for the previews of that one before I buy it. And I'm simply waiting for an announcement on Action Comics before I do anything with that book.
