Updated again, with 1 more surprising addition to my (this time, digital) pull list:

Like (will be picking up future issues)
I, Vampire -- 4 Batman's out of 5

This book a big surprise. As a fan of the old DeMatteis series from 30 years ago (30? ) I thought this new series would stink but damn - I loved it.

Agreed. My biggest surprise of the DCnU so far.

[Punchy]

Why did you read 51 out of 52? What was wrong with All-Star Western that meant you skipped it?

It's just weird that you would come so close to reading all 52 but stop.

Biggest Surprises
OMAC - Rarely does one get this much fun in a comic book! Great Giffen art!
I, Vampire - Low expectations going in tuned into a louder & louder “wow” with every turn of the page.
Wonder Woman - As a horror title!
Deadman - Calling Rama with a suicide attempt.
Swamp Thing - The return of the backwards heads.

Biggest Disappointments
The Flash - The Boring is more like it. Hard to believe this was a must read just a couple months ago.
Justice League Dark - It’s really a Shade solo book and he’s the one character I want to see the least of.
Men of War - Not having any WWII stories.
Animal Man - Just an eye bleeding experience - literally!
Hawkman - everything.

Best Interior Art
01) Batwoman - JH Williams III
02) Wonder Woman - Cliff Chiang
03) All Star Western - Moritat
