DC The New 52 'Second Wave' opinions.

OK, to start off I dont know if I am putting this in the right forums so if I am not dont bash on it!

OK, so today the last batch of The Second wave have been released and what I am asking is, how is everyone liking it? Is it worth having the 6 titles from 'Wave 1' canned for these?

I have read Earth 2, The Ravagers, Batman Inc. and parts of Dial H, and from what I can tell I am liking then alot more than their predacessors that they replaced, and much better than most others.

Earth 2 (to a lesser extent) and Batman inc interest me for now. May look into G.I. Combat. I think Ravagers is unnecessary, since we have three other Teenaged Superhero Team books. Shame about Static, but what do you expect?I am going to be honest, the new 52 has revitalized my interest in the superhero genre, but I may soon fade back into indy/creator owned only again. I just wish DC would scrap some of their batman family books to free up some room for other characters. Speaking of Earth 2, didn't DC say they would keep their new continuity in one cohesive universe? Funny how that worked out. DC may soon fall back to what it was before, at which point, I'll cease to buy their books.

I've read Earth 2, Dial H and G.I. Combat. I liked Earth 2 and Dial H, G.I. Combat not so much. Don't think I'm going to check out the other new titles, they just don't interest me enough.

The only one I haven't read was G. I. Combat. It just doesn't interest me.

I will continue reading Ravagers, Earth 2, and Dial H.

I have a mild interest in World's Finest and Bat Inc.

Overall I'm buying more DC books per month, so I'd say the 2nd Wave was successful.

G.I. Combat is highly unnecessary. Worlds Finest just doesnt interest me. The Ravagers I have been excited for since it was announced. I picked it up today as soon as I could and it was well worth the wait.

@TheRedRobin96: I like Ian's work, but I'm skeptical of Mackie's writing. He is working with a few good characters (Beast Boy, Terra, and Fairchild) so I hope he deliverers.

Earth 2 interests me because of James Robinson's work on Starman and The Shade. Plus, all the rumors about Alan Scott.

Earth 2- Really liked the first issue, and can't wait for the second. 
World's Finest- the first issue was...decent, not a fan of Perez's art, hopefully it gets better story wise and get a better artist...like, soon. 
I will be picking up Ravagers and Batman Inc tomorrow, can't wait. 
 
As for G.I Combat and Dial H...meh, not interested.
