So with the "New 52" in full swing and weeks 1 and 2 behind us, what do you guys think of the new DC comics?. What were you're favorites, what do you think worked, what didn't. In addition what creative teams are you excited to see in the future? P.S. any theories about the mysterious hooded chick (If you don't know what I'm alking about look here: http://ifanboy.com/articles/speculation-dc-relaunch-paving-way-to-crossover-with-marvel-comics/ ). In my opinion Animal Man #1 was been so awesomely disturbing, and Grant Morrison didn't disappoint with Action Comics #1. Green Arrow has always been one of my favorite characters and the new Green Arrow #1 was a giant crap taken on Ollie Queen (glad JT Krul announced he'd be leaving the book after issue 4), and being the huge Batman fan I am I checked out all the Bat-books(minus Bat-wing) Batman & Robin was pretty cool, Batwoman's art is just so pretty, and Batgirl was... uh... pretty interesting. So post your opinions and thoughts here!

The only thing I really know about all this is there's a Harley Quinn comic with a sharkman? Sounded cool but I'm just not into the whole comics thing enough to buy any of it. Alas!
But yay for rebooting continuity so all the new fans can get their minds around everything.
Not that it'll work, of course.

Batwing was pretty good I found. I enjoyed Batman and Robin, simply because it's good to finally see the Father-Son team.PowerC said:
Superboy is pretty good. As is Ressurrection Man. Animal Man and Action Comics were probably the best still. Stormwatch was good despite my reservations, but I'll have to see it pan out.
The problem is it's not a hard boot, but just a Relaunch. So some stuff is changed, some isn't. Honestly I find it more confusing. Wally West completely ceases to exist, yet there's still been five different Robins?Loop Stricken said:
I haven't read any of them, but I've been reading reviews and impressions. So far this is what I'm considering checking out: Justice League (It's kind of the must have for the relaunch right?), Action Comics (Grant Morrison on Superman, sounds great), Detective Comics (I hear good things, and my grocery store likes anything Batman regardless of violent content), Batwoman (The art looks wonderful and I hear the story isn't bad either), Animal Man (I read the first issue of the Grant Morrison run free on Comixology and I was intrigued), Batman (Yet again, Batman, store loves him), Suicide Squad (Loved the team on Justice League: Unlimited), and Stormwatch (I just read the first Authority trade and I want to see how these characters can fit into the DC Universe).
The continuity thing is really confusing, but I was wanting to get into comics anyway, since my grocery store started carrying a lot of DC stuff (Although I doubt they'll care half of that). I was hoping to get a job though so I could try a bunch out, but alas, I wasn't able to get one, so I'll probably just be able to get a couple series...

I've read a few, and most of them are just action with little plot, so I'm only going to name the ones that really stand out.
Justice League: Nothing happens. At all.
Action Comics(Superman): Very awesome, it's more story heavy than the rest, but it works well.
Detective Comics(Batman): Seems they're trying to go the ultra-gritty route with Batman, and it's not really working for them.
