52 Pickup - Which #1 will you be buying?

[El Bastardo]

ACTION COMICS
AQUAMAN
BATMAN
BATMAN & ROBIN
BLACKHAWKS
CAPTAIN ATOM
DEMON KNIGHTS
DETECTIVE COMICS
GREEN LANTERN
GREEN LANTERN CORPS
GRIFTER
JUSTICE LEAGUE
JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL
NIGHTWING
RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS
RESURRECTION MAN
STORMWATCH
SWAMP THING
TEEN TITANS

At least, these are the ones I'm interested in. If Philip Tan wasn't drawing, I'd probably add the Hawkman title to the list, too.

Ugh, my rear end already hurts.

 

[Themanofbat]

For sure, I'll be picking up SWAMP THING, with the possible look-see at SGT. ROCK AND THE MEN OF WAR .

 

[Nightwing Z]

Batman
Batman and Robin
Detective Comics
Nightwing
Teen Titans

Maybe I'll pick up Batwoman or Batgirl too.

 

[Wheels]

Well since I don't have an e-reader at the moment and the nearest comic shop is two towns away, I'll get a subscription to ACTION COMICS and call it a day.

 

[Harlekin]

I've got to hand it to DC. I've effectively quit buying ongoing comics - only going for trades and back-issues now - but damn it if they haven't been reeled me back in for at least a few #1's. These are the titles I'll be picking up and why.

- Batwing #1 because, damn it, a black Batman patrolling Africa sounds like fun. Really. That cover just looks so hokey, with the wings and all (and the name, the name!). I just can't resist the idea of a book with a black Batman. I can't.

- Justice League International #1, just to get an idea of where that title will be going. Of the team books, it's easily the one that appeals to me the most (yes, even more than Suicide Squad, but more on that later). I enjoyed Generation Lost and the team is just made up of win.

- Mister Terrific #1 because he deserved a title of his own and now I'm intrigued (and worried!) what will become of it. This can either go well or it can go very very wrong. They really need to hit it out of the ball park with this one, but considering the nature of the relaunch, I wouldn't be surprised if they did away with most of the things that appeal to me in Mr. Terrific - which is his awesomeness at being awesome.

- Suicide Squad #1 because I can't properly call myself a fan of the Suicide Squad if I don't at least pick up the new title. But that cover is ridiculous, the team could be better and I'm not sure if I want to read a Squad without Ostrander. Otherwise, peachy keen.

- Action Comics #1 and Superman #1 because I need to know what they're going to do with Superman. Is he still married? Why did they give him that awful costume? Is Jonathan Kent alive again? How much will Grant Morrison rock this book? So many questions I need answers to and I'll be very pissed if they **** up Superman.

There's undoubtedly a few more books I will pick up when I'm actually at the comic shop in September. All Star Western is good for a look, as is Animal Man, Resurrection Man and Justice League Dark (although, ugh on the title).

Oh, and Batgirl #1. Because what is up with that?

 

[Cobblepot]

Just the Batman related titles, and doubting somewhat about the Wonderwoman, the team on that is just great...

 

[Mystirious]

Batman
Batman and Robin
Detective Comics
Nightwing
Teen Titans

Maybe I'll pick up Batwoman or Batgirl too.

You totally should

Batwoman is going to be amazingly epic and Batgirl by Simone should be so much fun

 

[cyclone]

Gonna pick up;

- Justice League
- Justice League International
- Aquaman
- Wonder Woman
- The Flash
- Green Arrow
- The Savage Hawkman
- DC Universe Presents
- Action Comics
- Superman

- Red Hood and the Outlaws
- Green Lantern
- Green Lantern Corps
- Green Lantern: New Guardians
- Red Lanterns
- Justice League Dark
- Swamp Thing

So quite a few, some of the others either don't interest me, or just sound rubbish IMO!

September should be good! (and expensive...)

 

[El Bastardo]

You totally should

Batwoman is going to be amazingly epic and Batgirl by Simone should be so much fun

I was going to pick up Batwoman, but I find myself so disinterested with JH Williams III not doing the art.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Action Comics
Demon Knights
Resurrection Man

Also, Batman, Inc. when it starts back up next year.

I'm somewhat interested in Aquaman, Grifter, Wonder Woman, and Blue Beetle as well, but I have to hear more about them before I decide whether I'll buy them.

 

[Franklin Richards]

I wonder if JLI will herald Guy's return to Uber Turd? He sure has lightened up over the years.

 

[El Bastardo]

Action Comics
Demon Knights
Resurrection Man

Also, Batman, Inc. when it starts back up next year.

I'm somewhat interested in Aquaman, Grifter, Wonder Woman, and Blue Beetle as well, but I have to hear more about them before I decide whether I'll buy them.

Have some faith in creative teams, you swine.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I was going to pick up Batwoman, but I find myself so disinterested with JH Williams III not doing the art.

Oh, he's not? That frees me to pick it up. His art may be pretty, but it is not a storytelling art. Batwoman's run on Detective Comics was unreadable to me because of it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Have some faith in creative teams, you swine.

I do. The teams on those comics I intend to buy.

 

[El Bastardo]

Oh, he's not? That frees me to pick it up. His art may be pretty, but it is not a storytelling art. Batwoman's run on Detective Comics was unreadable to me because of it.

His certainly is a storytelling art. I can see how it could be hard to read, but that doesn't make it any less brilliant in terms of style, panel-work, overall flow, etc.

He's one of the best in the medium.

 

[Dreadstar]

Thats NOT Blackhawk! Its DCs version of G I JOE! L@@K!!!! They even got a former writer of G I Joe to do this clap trap.

 

[El Bastardo]

Former writer? Current writer.

G.I. Joe: Cobra, still currently ongoing. However, when it featured Chuckles, with Costa/Gage and Antonio Fuso doing art? Sweet magic.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Sounds like the Martian Manhunter may end up being the conscience of Stormwatch after all. So now I'm thinking of trying that out as well. I suppose if anyone can make something as apparently boneheaded on the surface as J'onn willingly working with the stone-cold killers of Stormwatch make sense, it'd be Cornell.

That's a lot of $$$$

 

[Dwarf lord]

Probably the only monthlies I'll do are Batman, Swamp Thing and Action Comics. Stormwatch is super tempting, but I don't want to get into anything I may have to drop later for lack of cash. I know I will be getting a lot of trades though.

 

[The Bruce]

No love for the Red Lantern book? I can't wait! Great creative team! I'm using this relaunch to go DC only. I'll keep looking at Thor, Spider-man and other Marvel things but as a whole Marvel is dead to me.


@Dwarf lord - I buy trades too. Do you know if the new digital day one will push trades back even more than now?

 

[The Batman]

Justice League
Batman Inc.
Superman
Action Comics
Aquaman
Green Lantern
Wonder Woman
Batgirl

 

[Dreadstar]

I love Kirby's OMAC. Starlin took OMAC and did great things with him. BUT THESE CLOWNS IN SEPT ARE GOING TO RUIN HIM. Who in their right mind is going to buy that abomination they are putting out in Sept? A blue OMAC that is not Buddy Blank! WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND THINKS THIS IS GOING TO SUCCEED?????
