Are You Buying More or Less DC Comics Since The New 52 Started?
For me, it's less; FAR less than before The New 52 began.
At first, I started off strong with it. I picked up all 3 Green Lantern books, Red Lanterns, Justice League, Justice League International, both Superman books, and I even checked out Captain Atom and Savage Hawkman.
But then I started dropping more and more. I didn't stick with Red Lanterns, Justice League International, or Captain Atom after the first issues. I didn't stick with Savage Hawkman after the first issue, either, but looking back I probably should have since it seemed to have the most action (now that Liefeld is on the book, I don't want to drop-in, but I'll check out the first few issues). I stuck with Justice League and both Superman books with the hopes that they would get better, considering the talent working on those books. But after a while, I dropped those too. Justice League International I was very disappointed with because I was loving Justice League: Generation Lost that was running before DC New 52 began. And Justice League simply has no excuse for the bland and boring quality that they've been putting out. DC has arguably the best penciller and the best writer in the business today on the biggest team in comics. It should be a monumentally awesome book...and it's not.
So now I'm down to just the 3 Green Lantern books, which ironically the GL Universe was barely touched by The New 52, and Earth 2. Which I'm not particularly liking the changes on Earth 2, but I'm in love with the characters enough to give these new versions a shot. And the storytelling hasn't been bad on Earth 2, even if I'm not liking the historical changes to the characters.
