    I voted unchained but I'm more excited for earth 2. I think Val-Zod can be an awesome character. If DC makes him popular he'll be proof you don't need to change a character for diversity.

    Or honestly they could've just learned that from Marvel with Miles Morales or given Simon Baz more of a spotlight and discovered it then,that character was literally the star for like three months and he became insanely popular and then DC somehow forgot about him...Smh.

    @ultimatesmfan:

    I couldn't stand Baz personally (Hal was the first earth man lantern and since him we've gotten 4 more?! Wth? You literally have an infinite number of planets to choose from and you pick earth again?) but I could see how maybe other people would have liked him. Also I agree with your miles morales point. Marvel did it right with him. He's awesome.

    I don't have any particular love for Val-Zod (or anything E2 related), Dc is eating its own flesh with the Black Supermen. DC just introduced Val-Zod and re-intoduced the Superman President. One will be appearing on multiversity and one on E2. So if someone is gonna buy the book because he wants to know more about the Black Superman, then which book will he buy and which Superman will DC support? Val-Zod may look like a star now but Morrison has the gold touch, his Black Superman will do crazy things and will gather great popularity.

    I guess we'll see. I'm going to be picking up this issue of earth 2 though because, if I'm being honest, he just looks cool. It feels good, as a black guy, to see a cool looking black Superman. I'll pick up Morrisons too.

    I expect more from Morrison to be honest. But thats because I hate E2.

    @squalleon: I only started readin it the other day. The first 5 issues were poor but had some cool moments. E2 gets a lot of praise so I'm giving it a chance.

    It only gets worse at least for me. I couldn't handle the cheesy dialogue and the all over the place plot.
    The premise of E2 was a world without the Trinity...Well now we have a Batman and a Superman so the book failed at its basic idea. Plus it has another "evil" Superman. And it is a story that we have seen a lot of lately.

    Well, Earth 2 just not doing it for me now, I dropped JL 3000 around its third issue and didn’t pick up Future’s End (is that any good?). I’m torn between AC and BM/SM, but I like AC just a little more.

    I actually enjoyed this Unchained (been a while, since issue 3 or 4 I believe). Mostly Wraith beating Batman.

    BM/SM had some good emotional moments but sort of erractic

    AC was fun

    Im gonna go with AC
