The New 52.
Anybody reading any of these?

I have two I'm collecting and read at least one issue of the following:

Batman - Collecting - I have all 5 of these so far and 3 with the alternate covers. I like it so far.
Detective Comics - Collecting - Have all 5. Love it. Highly reccomended.
Superman - Read - Thinking about collecting it. I dunno... I have mixed feelings on it.
Catwoman - Own the first one - was terrible. May grab 2 and 3 and sell them when they become sought after in a few years. Assuming they will.
Justice League - Read - Cheesy. A lot of people are really digging it, I didn't.
Suicide Squad - Read - AWFUL.
Green Lantern: - Read - Don't know why I read it, did I really assume the Green Lantern would be good? If so I must have been drunk/high/tired...

I've been reading some on my phone (because I just don't have the room to collect books anymore). Batman is what I'm mainly sticking with right now, although I'm already a little behind. Just bought issues 4 and 5 tonight. Really like those first couple of issues. I like that (at least as far as I can remember; also possible spoiler?) there really are no "legacy" villains so far. Makes it feel fresh, which I could imagine was certainly part of their goal in this universe reboot.

Bought the first Batgirl out of curiosity on how they retcon her story to make her Batgirl again. Haven't read it yet, though.

At some point I'll have to pick up the Detective Comics. I never really read the "original" run of it but it can't hurt to try this one out.

Thought about checking out The Flash, because I thought Flashpoint was pretty rad. Speaking of... They should make a series out of the Flashpoint Batman. I'd read that.

Detective Comics seems to be blending new with legacy and I'm liking that as well. New villains are good, but you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Just read issue five of Batman... That story has gone in a completely ridiculous direction, and I couldn't be more excited to see how it unfolds.

Dude, the Court of Owls was awesome and the Night of the Owls is turning out to be amazing. There's a lot of tie ins too.
