I've only read Action so far but it just reaffirmed to me that they made the wrong choice opening the relaunch with Justice League.

No way no how was it the wrong choice. I preferred Action by a bit, but all of the hype of the relaunch was condensed into an unbelievable ball that was transformed into Justice League #1. Coupled with the commercially elite creative team, the relaunch could not have conceivably gone better than it did week one, and I think it will have helped the whole launch month.

DDD

I think the Jim Lee JL was a good publicity stunt. I think they would have seen better long-term results from Action, which was (in my opinion) a far superior book. JL was a terrible introduction to a new world, in that it simply dumped us into it in a very decompressed, to-be-continued way. Action was a very substantial story, which gave us a good idea of what we are in for. JL was just the first bit of the beginning.

What I'm trying to say is, people may have been talking about JL in advance because it's the Jim Lee Justice League. But Action Comics really gave them something to talk about in the book itself, not just the idea of the book.

And the more I think about it, the more I think it's a massive mistake to have the various relaunch books scattered across time. This is NOT a unified universe. It's difficult to figure out how the books relate to each other. And if it confuses me, then it will probably confuse the living hell out of the "new readers" all this is supposedly designed to attract. E.g., I can recall off the top of my head three distinct Superman characters, two of whom are similar and the third (Action Comics) seeming to have little connection to the other two.
