The New 52: Six Months In

[The Toyroom]

OK, I just filed away my comic purchases from the last six months (yes, I got lazy )...Here's what I came away with (including titles that aren't branded as "New 52"):

Still purchasing

Aquaman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Green Lantern (was reading prior to the "New 52")
I, Vampire
All-Star Western (was reading "Jonah Hex" prior to the "New 52")
The Shade
i Zombie
Tiny Titans
Fables

Dropped after 6 issues

Action Comics
Batwoman
Justice League

4 issues

Swamp Thing

3 issues

Batgirl
Superman
Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E.
Green Arrow

2 issues

Legion of Super-Heroes
Legion Lost
Demon Knights
Huntress
Detective Comics
Fury of Firestorm


So out of ALL the "New 52" that were released, the only titles I actually added that I'm STILL reading were Aquaman, Batman, Wonder Woman and I, Vampire.
4 books...wow If my math is correct, that's only 7.5% out of all the New 52 that interests me enough to try it where I wasn't before. (And I sampled roughly 1/3 of what was available).
Depressing....


As far as other titles/companies, I'm also currently still reading:

Daredevil (Marvel)
Captain America (Marvel)
Dark Shadows (Dynamite)
Peanuts (Boom!)

Everyone is so hard on DC. I used to collect Marvel too and I stopped collecting anything from them YEARS ago. I tried a few times with things like Daredevil, and Wolverine, and random Spider-man issues to no avail. I'd say Marvel dropped the ball harder then DC since they get none of my money.

Still purchasing

Tiny Titans
Fables and all spin offs (Trades only)

will subscribe to Art's new Superman title.

I breezed through some of the new 52 titles, some aren't terrible but I've had issue with the Didio era for about four years now and a lot of the things I griped about are even more present now. I'm not talking stuff like costume changes but the whole "vibe" of the books read immature at times.

.... Thinking about trying the Squad ....

[Werewolf]

Dropped the Batman titles fairly soon. Didn't care for (spoilers I guess....)


"dirty" Catwoman, Joker getting his face cut off, Hulk Two Face and the evil Play Boy Bunny. Stayed with Wonder Woman, Batgirl and JL longer. Just recently dropped them. Still like the characters but I'm not going to collect out of loyalty or habit if I'm not having fun.

[boynightwing]

I totally forgot about Red Hood and Catwoman. I still read those too. And Birds of Prey. Though it's on thin ice. I don't know if it's worth continuing.

[thunderbolt]

Tried out Action, Frankenstein and OMAC, I liked them ok, but for one really quick read its not really worth 3 bucks a pop.

[Earth 2 Chris]

My son currently gets Tiny Titans. His subscription will soon switch over to Superman Family.

That is it for our monthly comic buying. If that doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what does.

No love for Justice League????

[Mego Milk]

Aw Yeah Preview of Superman Family Adventures#1 in Tiny Titans #50!

true story.

[thunderbolt]

^^^^Hopefully that will outsell all the 52 books and send DC a message.

[The Bat]

Let's see if I can remember them all. I read:

Justice League
Batman
Detective
The Dark Knight
Aquaman
Green Lantern
The New Guardians
Red Lanterns
The Flash
Batgirl
Batwoman
Catwoman
Teen Titans
Superboy

Cancelled JLA after Lee finished his run with #6.....but I'm going to add it back on with issue #9, when Lee starts a new run with Jeff Loeb writing.

I know Lee was taking a break (to catch up) but I thought Geoff Johns was on indefinitely? DC can't seem to have any team on a book longer than 6 months lately...

Loeb must not be Marvel-exclusive anymore?
