September 1, 2011 6:58 am As a Marvel guy, I think JL has potential, but I'm mostly interested in Action, Batman and GL. We'll see about the rest. I was a little underwhelmed by JL, I think it still has the ability to 'Wow' me at some point.

September 1, 2011 6:55 am Personally, it lacked personality. It was a little underwhelmed more than I thought I would be. Having read some classic JL stories in the past, the intial PUNCH to the story was a bit softer than I was expecting. I know that they're just setting up the tone of this universe, but honestly... it copies some of the intrinsic aspects of Marvel, but less effectively. I don't know... I hope it gets better. The only character that seemed to be mostly well developed off the bat was Batman, which doesn't surprise me. I didn't really care for the characterization of Green Lantern so much. He reminded me more of a 13 year old with a ring - I attribute that to his verbage. It was just a bit juvenile than I was figuring it would actually be. Since they're setting up Superman congruent to the movie character, it'll be interesting to see how he's characterized. Again, my main problem is how they're characterizing the heroes as oppossed to the story itself. I trust Geoff Johns, but this first launch was a bit of a dud for me. 2.5/4

August 29, 2011 4:41 pm Ah, then it's FLASHPOINT I can't get into. I patiently await what the new DCU has to bring. Thanks for the clarification.

August 29, 2011 4:33 pm I sort of got that in the sense that they're transitioning to the new DC. However, don't the stories pretty much just convert over to the new DCU? So they just pick up sometime afterwards? Or is it another 'reboot' after Flashpoint? I concede that I may be slightly confused as to what they're doing.

August 29, 2011 4:29 pm I am looking forward to Action Comics. The idea of it looks promising. Is this the follow-up series to Project Superman?

August 29, 2011 4:26 pm You've actually guilted me into agreeing with you. It's best for the industry that DC succeeds in this endeavor.

August 29, 2011 4:14 pm I consider Flashpoint an event.

August 29, 2011 4:05 pm @Conor, I'm talking about in terms of EVENTS, I'm aware the individual series haven't come out yet.

August 29, 2011 3:47 pm I DO know that I pretty much loathe what DC is doing right now though and am enjoying (for the most part) Fear Itself. It's not as intense as the NuDCU, but it sure reads better and more consitently.

August 29, 2011 3:45 pm I rather agree with Hickman, these fights shouldn't be over the internet. For an industry and temperamental as the comic book industry, your persona sells more than the facts. You can disagree with how a publisher runs business. You can argue about which event or direction a ‘universe’ goes is more productive… or BETTER. However, when you bring petty grievances to an already shaky monetary environment, all you’re doing is p!ssing on where you sleep. These ‘battles’ creatively and industry wide should more conjecture and lore, not the latest twitter feed topic. The industry is literally asphyxiating itself in its own crud. It doesn’t matter if you’re a DC Dud or Marvel Zombie, it’s more important that the creators hype up the industry and the upcoming storylines. Let the fans tune in or check out based on the work, not because JoeQ or Dan Didio duke it out in the i-ether. If anything, the sales (or lack thereof) should guide the industry, not the internal bickering. Leave that to Hollywood.
