I think we all have at least one book we're interested in. But besides JLI are there any other books you're thinking about getting? Currently I'm considering ten, the biggest amount I've gotten in years if not ever. Mostly to try some new titles, support characters I like and a few I'm really interested in.

Yeah, there's still some things that annoy me about the whole reboot/relaunch and because of that at least one book I can't support. But I'm willling to see where this goes.

I realized there were three active threads discussing everyone likes, dislikes, and pulls of the still unrolling DCnU. The three threads have been merged into this one to better pool the ideas.

Other than JLI, no.

I'll be getting Birds of Prey but have a feeling that it will only last a few issues before I give up. I was collecting about 8 titles from DC but now it looks like I'll be down to 2 or possibly 1 from everything I've seen and heard about the nDCU.

It'll be interesting to read reviews of things I'm not getting (JL, Batgirl, etc.) I'm trying to be positive. I'm going to try to stay with all the books I get for at least an arc before I decide if I'll be dropping anything.

JLI, Blue Beetle and I keep an eye out for Stephanie Brown. Though I am quite willing to stop reading DC at all should none of the titles be to my liking.

I am going with JL, JLI, JL Dark (the trifecta?), Blue Beetle, and Mister Terrific.

I plan on giving each at least an arc before making up my mind.

I know I said I wasn't going to buy anything other than JLI. Apparently, I was lying. I bought JUSTICE LEAGUE #1. I must be an addict. It was just sitting there, and I discovered that I couldn't stop myself. I've felt bad about that decision ever since.

If this is the flagship, I know I'll be avoiding the rest of the fleet.

I'm starting this thread to find out what you all like about the new DC Universe.

I'm not asking for what you hope for or what you envision the future to be. I don't need comparisons to the past for better or worse. I'm not interested in the hype or the effects on the business of comics.

What I specifically DO want is for you to give your feedback about what you liked about any of the "New 52" DCnU comic book that you've read. Did you like the art? The story? The dialogue? The color? The creativity? The way a character is presented? The sound effects?

Whatever DCnU book you've found some positive value in, tell me. I'm not promising that I'll agree with you, but I am curious about where you think the good is in the comics of the New DC Universe.

Some of the books were summed up by Comic Alliance who got the chance to read a few of the first two weeks worth of books early. They mention a few that they liked, just give a summary of a couple and only seemed to flat out hate Suicide Squad. JLI isn't mentioned for some reason.

Hi! New member here. Nice to meet you all. :D

I'm interested in quite a few of the titles that will launch this month. While I don't buy single issues, I will be picking up a couple issues of these titles and then decide if I want to continue collecting them in TPB.

- Animal Man
- Batgirl
- Batwoman
- Justice League Dark
- Justice League International
- Men of War
- Wonder Woman

Of course, there are other titles that I'm interested in but not sure if I should buy like Action Comics, Aquaman, Blue Beetle, Nightwing, Superman, etc.
