Help with pull list

So I'm having a bit of extra space on my pull list since I removed Thunderbolts, Gambit, Team 7 is done and Batman Inc. is drawing close.

I just need a few suggestions on these:

1. Is Manhattan project good?

2. Should I follow Red Lanterns through TPB?

3. Will it be easy to catch up to Aquaman or Action Comics?

4. Can I read the New guardians of the galaxy without having much prior knowledge?

5. Recommend a bat-book besides Nightwing and Batman?

1. You should be able to get the first issue for free, or a dollar. Truly depends on your tastes, I'd say.

2. Most people would say you shouldn't follow it at all :P

4. It seems to have changed or ignored most of what came before, so I'd say yes. I've read it without knowing anything prior and I actually kind of felt that made it easier to enjoy.

5. If you want something really, really different (but good), Batwoman. If you want fun, RHatO, though Tynion may be in the process of ruining that now (but the first 18 issues are mostly a joy). Batgirl has been fairly solid, and it's awesome right now with the new Ventriloquist arc.

1. Yes it's great

2. Most would say no

3. Not a GL guy so "no comment"

4. Batman & Robin has been a solid series

So far that's a yes for MP, no for Red Lanterns. Hmm. Thanks for the inputs btw. :D

If you mean Batman group rather than Bat-Family, then I'd recommend Batwoman.

Start action comics at 19. The first 18 issues is kinda one gaint story arc.
