I set out to buy all 52 ongoing DC comics for the first six months of the relaunch, both to experience the rebirth of the shared universe and to support such a bold move by DC. I have just placed my final order with my online comic shop for February and it is time to make my cut. I am still following 31 of the ongoing comics, but I will miss most of the others that I will have to cut.

I am cutting all four of the Lantern comics. Not because they were poorly written, but because they were not as new user freindly as I would have liked. I plan on picking up the old trades for John's original run on GL and the related GLCorps. When that happens, then I will pick up the new trades also. I will enjoy them more if I have a better handle on the backstories.

Comics that were great, but not to my taste include:

• Aquaman
• Wonder Woman
• Swamp Thing
• Animal Man

Comics that were average, but the art was amazing include:

• Savage Hawkman
• Captain Atom
• Flash

Comics that were average in story and art:

• Blue Beetle
• Action Comics
• Supergirl
• Static Shock

Comics that were bad and will not be missed:

• Mister Terrific
• Superman
• Deathstroke
• Green Arrow
• Fury of Firestorm
• Hawk and Dove

I will continue reading all 11 of The Batman comics, most of The Edge and The Dark comics, and all of the team centered comics. I pretty much knew this going into the experiment. There are two surprises on my pull list, the DC Universe Present anthology and Superboy.
