One of the biggest controversies on the first two years of New 52 was the constant change of creative teams on some books. But, on some cases, it was REALLY a bad thing? Which books do you think benefited from these changes?
GREEN ARROW: Started okay with Krul/Giffen/Jurgens, went awful with Nocenti and became great with Lemire.
EARTH 2: James Robinson run wasn't "bad", but his stories moved too slow for a world-building book. Tom Taylor upped the pacing without compromising the good storytelling.
FURY OF FIRESTORM: Dan Jurgens' run was nothing special...and still it was better than Simone's and Harris' combined.
BATWOMAN: With Marc Andreyko, the book gained a real writer and Kathy Kane became a real believable character. It's a shame more people were not willing to give it a chance.
DETECTIVE COMICS: Tony Daniel's run was not his best, according to himself. But John Layman saved the book.
BATWING: The issues with David Zavimbe as lead reads like the creative team is trying too hard. Palmiotti and Gray found a better protagonist on Luke Fox.
ACTION COMICS: If the rumors were true, we dodged a big bullet with Andy Diggle leaving the book. And Greg Pak is doing a wonderful job.
SUPERMAN: George Pérez' short stint was..."boring", for a lack of a better word. At least, Scott Lobdell's run was funny and action-filled.
DEMON KNIGHTS: Suffered the same problems as "Earth 2". Pacing too slow and stories that were getting nowhere. Robert Venditti corrected the course, but, unfortunately, it was too late to save the book.
