While it looks like the New 52 is a success for DC, it is a failure for me.  I tried out every first wave New 52 title, and most of the 2nd/3rd wave titles.  I've cut my subscriptions down to:

    • Action Comics

    • All-Star Western (Shaky ground)
    • Animal Man

    • Batman

    • Batman and Robin

    • Batman, Incorporated

    • Batman: The Dark Knight (Shaky ground)

    • Catwoman (Shaky ground)

    • Demon Knights (Shaky ground)

    • Detective Comics

    • Dial H (Too new to judge)

    • Earth Two (Too new to judge)

    • Frankenstein, Agent of Shade (Shaky ground)

    • I, Vampire  

    • Justice League Dark  (Shaky ground)

    • Legion Lost (Shaky ground)

    • Legion of Superheroes

    • Nightwing

    • Phantom Stranger (I'll give it a try)

    • Stormwatch
    • Swamp Thing  

      • Sword of Sorcery (I'll give it a try)

      • Talon (I'll give it a try)

      • Worlds’ Finest (Too new to judge)


    DC Mini-Series/Specials:

    • The Shade

    • Night Force



    Overall, I'm really dissapointed by the more super-hero oriented books, although I think most of the Batman line is still pretty good.  I still like Paul Levitz's Legion of Super Heroes (I'm buying Legion Lost purely out of LSH loyalty).  I can't belive I dropped Superman ... a title I've been buying for, well, decades!  I'll stick with Grant Morrison's Action Comics a while longer, as long as I don't get too many more stories like "President Superman."

    Animal Man and Swamp Thing are excellent.  I hope All-Star Western reverts back to a western again, instead of trying to insert Jonah Hex into the Batman mythos. 


    Okay so you have 24 titles on your list (including future titles). That's roughly half of the new 52 offered, but this is a failure for you? How many DC titles were you subscribed to before the reboot? If you're actually enjoying some new and different titles/genres that you weren't reading before, I would think that is a success. I do agrees with your points on Superman and LOSH though. I myself am subscribing to roughly 30 new 52 titles and consider the relaunch a success. I never thought I'd be reading Animal Man and Swamp Thing!
