    So after 2 years of the new 52, what were your favorite comics, and what were your least favorite comics?

    I. Vampire

    Swampthing

    Animal Man

    Justice League Dark

    Red hood & the Outlaws

    Batwoman

    Supergirl

    .

    The ones i didn't like but i though i would:

    Teen Titans ( they "were" my favorite :( )

    Superman ( his main tittle was not that great )

    Batgirl ( i don't know why they put barbara as batgirl again, but i was dissapointed, she is more boring like this then oracle, & i want Stephanie Brown back )

    Catwoman ( had high hopes for this one, maybe that was the problem? )

    Green Arrow ( before Jeff took over )

    Justice League International ( i really like booster gold, Fire & Ice and guy, but this tittle is noting special )

    .

    Like:

    JLD

    Constantine

    Phantom Stranger

    Swamp Thing

    No like:

    Teen Titans(poor writing, not much without the legacy and multiple tangible DC ties)

    Earth 2(pointless without its legacy)

    Superman(more hot head young man than symbol for truth, justice and the American way)

    Want to like but can't:

    JL(too superficial, token black guy underdeveloped)

    GL(missing something)

    Most of new 52(little style, not enough substance and cohesiveness)

    Have always loved DC over Marvel. Want it to mean something again.

    Am i the only one reading I. Vampire...well was reading, damn sad it ended :( but at least it was not canceled like other titles ( at list i think ), cause it had a damn satisfying ending, like at the end of a movie trilogy.

    For any one who has not read, it has great story, and beautiful art for 16 out of 19 issues :)

    There is a lot of promise, but little realization. Been reading DC for 40+ years, and I am disappointed in all of the titles.
    Disappointed in the Teen Titans, Justice League, Justice League of America, Batwoman, Wonder Woman, face it All of the titles. The only thing they got right was the costumes, the updated looks were really cool. The powersets for the characters are good, the characters are good. The stories are too long and slow. It's taking too long to get to know these people, 2 years and we are still developing things. The only bright spot is Earth 2, it's a chance for the Justice Society to take the front lines, and not be in the Justice League shadow, now if we can flesh out a full team, 16 issues and we only have seen 6 members but not as team. Power Girl and the Huntress are on Earth 1, and Mr. Terrific is somewhere, 16 issues and we aren't even a team.

    DC: "Oh no.... We Suck Again!!!!"

    I admit that I wasn't a DC fan until the New 52. I mean, I read a scant few DC JLA story arcs, and really liked the Batman/Superman team up book series, but overall I thought the writing was very bad, and heroes were too overpowered for them to share a planet together. And anyone who wasn't a superhero in DC was written like an idiot. In comes the New 52 - with a new spin on many of the heroes and villians, a de-powered version of Superman, a new Stormwatch, new Teen Titans, etc. For the last couple of years I went form eager... back to "these guys suck". Unless you're a Batman fan (of which I'm not) there's nothing I see that is still being done well at DC right now. The Trinity War was a sad farce that could have been written in one or two books, which led to the "Forever Evil/Villian's Month" - also known as "All the Regular Writers & Artists Got a Month Off" Crossover. It has sucked. Bad. It sucks so bad that I don't care about ANY of their titles anymore - even the ones I was enjoying like JLA, JL, JLD, Wonder Woman, Teen Titans, and Superman. Marvel is kicking these DC guys in the groin right now - and DC doesn't seem to know how to write a coherent plot to save their lives. My #1 favorite book at the New 52 launch - Stormwatch - was gutted and replaced by a book that is barely readable anymore. They downgraded the artist, and took the team off-world, and de-powered them. My only hope now is that Shazam gets his own series. Anyhow, I think I'm pretty much done with DC... again.
