The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

Since I've chopped my buying list down to almost nothing I have decided to pick up 3 trades from DC's new 52 that I haven't really been reading. Perhaps an issue here or there but that's about it.

So I'm putting up a poll of the five that would interest me and I'm curious by fellow comic geek brothers, which 3 of the five do you recommend?

This list is for May.

Thank you for your participation.

None of them.

But if you have to buy from the five, I've picked three.

Really? Not even Stormwatch? It has J'onn. :-(

Actually, I liked what I've read of Stormwatch.

I would also recommend Snyder's Batman.

Batman
Flash
AllStar Western
Aquaman
and, if it counts, Penguin: Pain and Prejudice

maybe JLD and Demon Knights

Batman is one of the books that I do read monthly. No way was I going to miss out on that one.

Penguin was a great series. Bought that as well.

I like Catwoman and Green Lantern. Stormwatch is ok, definitely better than JL.

My problem with Justice League is I really hated the first issue and the whole origin again was a little much for me. On the other hand it would almost be worth it for the art alone.

Of these for me- none of them. You've expressed a liking for Johns's GL in the past, so I voted for that one. People who like that series seem to still enjoy it.

Read them all and liked them all. Stormwatch & GA were the bottom though.

NOt a goddamn one. GL is the only one close to readable and the rest are garbage. Total garbage.

Get Swamp Thing, Demon Knights, and Flash instead (as I assume you're already getting Batman, Nightwing, Batman & Robin, and Wonder Woman).

I do get all of those and was going to get Demon and Flash but was on the fence about Swamp Thing because I just never cared for that character at all. Picked up the first issue of it and I don't think I even finished it, which is a bummer since I'm really into Snyder right now. But perhaps I will.

Though I really wanted to pick up Stormwatch just because of Martian Manhunter.

Stormwatch was fantastic. Love the book even with the writer change.

Green Lantern, I've enjoyed a bit. It just continues Geoff's existing run if you've been following it.

Justice League, I've enjoyed somewhat. Jim's artwork just looks rushed in places and pieces don't click quite right but it's a decent read.

Green Arrow, I collect. It's fluff for the most part but not tradeworthy.

Catwoman, I read the first issue and the ending of it kind of killed it for me.
