@B'Town: I'm so excited! I'm fully ready to get on board this train and see where it takes me. Actually, I was on the fence about Wonder Woman because I just don't know what direction they're taking with her yet and I haven't heard anything about her book that has particularly intrigued me. But it's Wonder Woman and I know that if she's not supported from the start of this relaunch, she very well might vanish. She's too important a character to comic books and too important a character to me to allow that to happen. Also, it seems wrong to only get books from 2/3rds of the trinity. :) Voodoo looks like it can go either way. It can either be really cool and amazing or it can be really one-dimensional and kinda sexist. But I love how gypsy-like she is and I think that the artwork is strong - so I'm giving it a chance. I instantly fell in love with the artwork on Animal Man and I just really love the premise of Animal Man trying to raise his daughter who might be the most powerful, and potentially dangerous, being in the universe. I think that it has the potential for a lot of emotional depth. And since Animal Man is dealing with The Red, I have to get Swamp Thing because it deals with The Green (and Scott Snyder is writing it.) Does that mean Aquaman is The Blue?
Good God. Now I feel like I HAVE to pick up Animal Man. *shakes head* "Great Art", coming from an artist makes me feel foolish should I not pick it up. More importantly I didn't read too much on it... the daughter being so powerful is intriguing. I will be off in a few minutes to see about pulling it. Now look what you did. hahah.

Maybe Voodoo? I didn't know anything about her until recently. I still don't know much but I am taking a gamble based on the "hot chick with magic", rule. I make my own rules when it comes to these things. :} Should you want to hold off on picking it up, I'll give you my opinion thumbs or down, after reading mine. There should be plenty of reviews around too. I place a lot of stock in Sara Lima's, she hasn't steered me wrong yet.
Wonder Woman, is always a good choice for the faithful. I really hope this new start for Diana isn't going to p!ss this faithful fan off. I am keeping an open mind. Secretly, I am just grateful she is still around. Wonder Woman bashing and snickering is abundant, and for the last few years I have been a little afraid DC would either drop her ongoing or change her so much that she isn't even recognizable. So, I am holding my breath here and wishing for a Diana I can still love and be proud of.
I am a little intrigued with Animal Man. I am not familiar and am hesitant to research him because I have too darn many pulls already. I think I am going to depend on you and some of my favorite reviewers to let me know if I am missing out. Same with DC Universe Presents, somehow I feel I should pull this but have decided to hold off. I may add it to a list of future trades, so please let me know what you think.
It looks to me you have fun and interesting pulls here. :D Are you getting excited? I am. Geesh if anyone had asked me how I felt a few weeks ago, I certainly wouldn't have been saying anything nice. Funny how, it can take me awhile to embrace some change, but once I do, I'm all in. Thanks for sharing your list.
