I was optimistic that the relaunch would be successful. It seemed that DC was doing everything right in reaching out to new audiences. As a reader for over 30 years I knew that I (and many fans) would not jump ship because of yet another reboot.

I was excited by the increase in sales numbers for September. I was completely amazed that they were able to add market share in both units sold and dollars sold in October. I was expecting flat numbers and most were predicting a drop.

How are all the people who stated that September's numbers were artificial due to speculators reacting to the increase in October?

I was excited by the announcement. I am rewarding the bold move by buying all the titles for at least the first six months. So far my expectations have been exceeded. I am only willing to drop one title at this point (Mr Wallace please fix Mister Terrific).

I am still reading all 52. Mister Terrific will probably be dropped soon for lack of any improvement. Green Arrow was on the bubble too, but I will hang on until the changeover to Nocenti.

Yes, thankfully they dont need your support after a very successful reboot and promotional campaign.

At the Comikaze Expo in Los Angeles Lobdell stated that she would appear in the Teen Titans starting in about five issues.

Very excited about this. Too bad he has to drop Cap and Bucky. Hope they can pick up a good team to take over that title.

His recent projects seem to be plagued with delays. We still need to see the conclusion of his Batman Inc storyline and his continually promised multiverse project, both of which are also supposed to be out in 2012. Does anyone believe that he can write WW, finish these projects, and write Action at the same time?

The JSA on Earth-2 has been confirmed and Earth-12 with Batman Beyond seems all but confirmed. What other alternate Earths would you like to see explored?

Personally, I would love to read a comic based on Earth-10 where Uncle Sam and The Freedom Fighter battle the Axis after they defeat the Allies.

I do expect some news on this out of the NYCC.

@waruikumo: Completely agree with you on hoping that Rozum does something with Xombi. With the way the DC Dark titles have been received, it seems likely.

@pikahyper:

Interesting. Completely different from what I have heard and read, but an interesting POV.
