New 52 Aftermath
So the first round of the New 52 is over. The new #1’s are out and it has been highly successful. I enjoyed what came out and most of what I read. It’s been real nice to see newcomers get into comics with this event. There were huge hits and big flops. So here’s a breakdown review of what I’ve read with my ratings:
Justice League (G. Johns, J. Lee) – 8/10
Action Comics (G. Morrison, R. Morales, R. Bryant) – 7/10
Detective Comics (T. Daniel, R. Winn)– 9/10
Green Arrow (J.T. Krull, D. Jurgens, G. Perez) – 5/10
Swamp Thing (S. Snyder, Y. Paquette)– 8/10
Justice League International (D. Jurgens, A. Lopresti, M. Ryan) – 7/10
Batgirl (G. Simone, A. Syaf, V. Cifuentes)– 9/10
Green Lantern (G. Johns, D. Manhke, C. Alamy) – 8.5/10
Red Lanterns (P. Milligan, E. Benes) – 8.5/10
Batman (S. Snyder, G. Capullo, J. Glapion)– 9/10
Catwoman (J. Winick, G. March) – 6/10
Wonder Woman (B. Azzarello, C. Chiang)– 7/10
Green Lantern Corps (P. Tomasi, F. Pasarin, S. Hanna)– 8/10
Green Lantern: New Guardians (T. Bedard, T. Kirkham, Batt)– 7/10
Aquaman (Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis, J. Prado)– 8/10
Batman: The Dark Knight (D. Finch, R. Friend) – 9/10
The Flash (F. Manapul, B. Buccellato) - 7/10
I, Vampire (J. Fialkov, A. Sorrentino) – 8/10
Superman (G. Perez, J. Merino) – 8.5/10
Thoughts on the New 52?
Now that we’re 3 weeks into the new 52, let’s take a moment to think about it. So far I’ve read JLA, Action and Detective Comics, Batgirl, Green Arrow, JLI, Swamp Thing, Green Lantern, and Red Laterns. Everything was good except for Green Arrow. Batgirl and Swamp Thing surprised me with how good they were but Action Comics has me a little iffy. I’m anxious to see what Morrison has in mind for the character (although I’m kinda not digging the whole t-shirt and jeans Superman). Any subscribers to the new 52? What do you like?
