Devin vs The New 52

Action Comics #1

Verdict: Buy

A depowered Superman?  This is the reason I liked "Superman" post death, because him and his replacements weren't Superman.

Green Lantern #!

Verdict: Buy

Here is my problem with rebooting continuity, when certain comics don't really get rebooted.  This is the only problem with Green Lantern.  If Green Lantern has only been on the scene 5 years he has gone through the Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night in those times?  Was he Paralax?  Does that mean Superman died?  Does that mean Doomsday exists?  See the problem... I'm thinking too much.

Green Lantern Corps #1

Verdict: Buy

The story seems intriguing and I like Guy and John Stewart.

Green Lantern: New Guardians #1

Verdict: Read

Since this is Kyle Rayner's origin story are we to believe Paralax never happened and Hal never went bad?  Then there wouldn't really be a reason to remove him from the Corps right?  This is why you don't reboot.

JLA #1

Verdict: Buy

If not for the Jim Lee art, buy it for a cocky Hal and fresh take on Superman.

Red Hood and the Outlaws #1

Verdict: Read

I love the art.  Red Hood and the archer guy are interesting, but I don't get the reason for the alien chick.

Red Lanterns #1

Verdict: Burn

I love Green Lantern and all around it.  I'm still going to get #2, but this issue was almost completely useless.

Resurrection Man #1

Verdict: Read

I'm intrigued.  The only comic I bought where I had no idea what I was getting.  This feels like it shouldn't be in the DCU proper.  Feels more Preacher, Sandman and Fables than it does DCU.

Suicide Squad #1

Verdict: Read

It isn't bad.  I like the art.  I'm hoping for a lot of main character deaths as this series continues.

Superboy #1

Verdict: Read/Burn

If you don't read Teen Titans, this could be a solid Read.  If you read Teen Titans, nothing more REALLY happens.  I have hope for Superboy because I like the idea of a depowered Superman.

Supergirl #1

Verdict: Read

I guess.  I don't know.  It was so much of a "meh".  The entire issue felt like it was dog paddling until it could introduce Superman.

Superman #1

Verdict: Burn

Superman fighting a giant fire monster?  This is how we reintroduce Superman proper?  Yawn.

Teen Titans #1

Verdict: Read

I like Robin.  I like Kid Flash.  I like the idea of kids trying to be superheroes. 

And there we have it...quick hits on the new DC 52.  I will probably drop Superman.  Everything else still has my attention for one more issue.
