A couple of these have yet to drop but we are more or less between 4-6 issues in with most of them,  and I have to say that its been an overwhelmingly positive experience so far, frustratingly so for my bank balance.

The Re-Launch with Rebirth brought me kicking and screming back into buying modern comics again, the one shot was perfect I found myself bawling unashamedly with the reunion with Barry and Wally and doing massive double take with the Watchmen reveal, I loved this book it was a fitting love letter from the always brilliant Geoff  Johns as he departs for movie land and the issue left me with a huge grin on my face and the sobering knowledge that I would be soon be spending a great deal of money on new comics.

Highlights.

Aquaman and Green Arrow so far simpy because I had no real expectations at all, especially with Aquaman as I have never followed the book before, and both have really taken me by surpris. Aquaman in particular has really grabbed me, I have enjoyed where they have gone with it, Dan Abnetts writing has been predictably great and the art has been really so strong, now that the 1st mini arc is resolved the substory with Black Manta is keping me intrigued. With GA there is no re-inventing the wheel here, but I have enjoyed the art and the story and found myself rooting for Ollie as he loses everything and fights his way back from near death, and again the conclusion of the 1st arc has really left me looking forward to what comes next.

Honourable Mentions

Another two titles that have really grabbed me are Detective comics and Action Comics, neither has given me what I was necessarily expecting but both have been really good, DC has been SO strong I am enjoying the writing for Batwoman and the last issue actually really choked me up with a false finish ending which really hit home for me, and a tear may have been shed. As for Action Comics the return of Dan Jurgens was enough to have me intrigued and the story has just been mental, totally over the top, just batshit crazy no explanations so far but plenty of reasons to keep coming back, the 1st arc gives you Doomsday as he should be and builds on Super Luthor which for the record I am a massive fan of, I enjoyed his gradual turn during the new 52 Justice League and  I hope it doesnt end too soon, I personally think the character is more intersting in this kind of role, finally the Clark  Kent thing is weird as hell but again its keeping me coming back.

Weak links

So far there is nothing I am annoyed enough about to drop but Green Lanterns just is not clicking with me, I don't care about either of these new Lanterns and the 1st arc really hasn't done it for me, compared to the rather excellent Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps this book really comes off as the weak relation., I am going to give it a bit longer though.
