| First off I don't like this mixture of origin and semi-reboot. They really need to let us know what still happened and what didn't. I would rather have them start everything over than have this chaotic mess. They wanted to bring in new readers but if long time comic fans are confused then what the hell must new readers be thinking.
JLA #1 - 9 - I've always love Jim Lee's art and even though not as much happened as would have liked, what did happen was pretty good. Action Comics #1 - 9 - Despite Clark being too Peter Parkerish both the art and the story were actually good. Superboy #1 - 9 - I don't like thst they're messing with Conner but the story is pretty good and I so is the art. I'm just hoping he's his usual self in Teen Titans. Detective Comics #1 - 7.5 - I like the art but the story is just ok. Batgirl #1 - 4 - The reason they gave for how Babs can all of a sudden walk is the stupidest thing since the reality punch. Batwoman #1 - 5 - This was pretty boring.
Batwing #1 - 8 - I was actually surprised by how good this was.
Batman And Robin #1 - 7 - Not a lot happened and it was pretty much a filler issue.
Green Lantern #1 - 10 - I really like the art and the way this story is playing out.
Red Lanterns #1 - 9.5 - The art was great and seeing more of Atrocitus' history was great. Animal Man #1 - 8 - Good art and an interesting story. The last page makes the book. Swamp Thing #1 - 8 - Good art and it's really great to see an ongoing Swamp Thing series again. I'm glad they're not completely ignoring what came before on this one. Legion Lost #1 - 7.5 pretty good but not enough to go on yet. I wish they would have had Starman and Dream Girl instead of Gates and Tyroc but still a good line up.
Mr Terrific #1 - 6.5 - I really didn't care for the art, the story wasn't very good either. What helped save it for me was that Power Girl is in this universe I wasn't expecting that when they said Earth-2 was back.
Green Arrow #1 - 6 - I never really liked Green Arrow until he came back from the dead and I liked the previous series. This on the other hand makes me not care about him again.
Justice League International #1 - 7 - The art was good but the team just doesn't have the chemistry like they used to. It just feels like a hollow shell of a book.
Grifter #1 - 7 - This was ok but I was expecting a lot more from a book with Grifter. I don't like that the Wildc.a.t.s. aren't around anymore. I would have loved to see them have their own book instead of a Grifter and Voodoo solo series. Especially if Majestic was on the team.
OMAC #1 - 5 - Art wasn't good and O.M.A.C. really isn't all that interesting a character. I kept thinking the whole time how much I wish it was a Marvel Family book.
Demon Knights #1 - 8 - This was even better than I thought I didn't expect so many different characters I already knew. I thought it was great that Vandal Savage was in the book. Frankenstein: Agent Of SHADE #1 - 7.5 - I've been waiting a long time for an on going Frankenstein book but I was really disappointed the art sucked and the story was only ok. Resurrection Man #1 - 8.5 - I've wanted Mitchell Shelley to be relevant again for a long time and this book pulls it off. Static Shock #1 - 8 - This wasn't bad I like that Hardware is in it too. It's just nice to see Static have his own series again although I though he was cooler in Teen Titans. I really wish they would do something with Icon. Hawk And Dove #1 - 1 - Bad art and I feel like we're back to the early 90's again. I was really starting to like Hawk and Dove but now they're boring again. Sgt Rock And The Men Of War #1 - 7 - I wasn't expecting much from this but having Sgt. Rock's grandson in it was cool. I kind of wish they'd make him the next wearer of the Shield armor.
Stormwatch #1 - 5.5 - The art wasn't very good and half the characters I don't know and the other half aren't anything like they used to be. With how many awesome Wildstorm characters there are I don't know why they're making more. Martian Manhunter seems so out of place on this team. Deathstroke #1 - 8 - The art was decent and the story was ok. It's Deathstroke so I know it'll get better. Suicide Squad #1 - 5 - It pisses me off so much that they replace a great book like Secret Six with this boring piece of shit. | |

I still have a few to read a few that I have in my pile and a few that my LCS didn't actually get in, but as it stands right now I am 100% underwhelmed.

| You've also been reading comics for years.
I agree with Thomas. It should have been all or nothing. It's kind of bullshit that some things get to be untouched, especially considering the way the history of the old universe shaped some things. A timeline of what has happened so far in this 5 years (still seems to short for somethings) would be nice.
But all in all the stories are good, and isn't that what really matters? | |

I can't believe Dan paid that much. if you don't want to go the illegal way. Comixology. 2.99 downloads. | |

| I don't think giving a timeline is helpful. If you're a new reader picking up any of these books & the first thing you see is "here's what's come before" you're gonna be put off. Most of these books are ground level stuff, but I have no problem with GL & others just continuing on. It's not like a person is gonna be confused reading the first issue of GL. Yeah they'll get stuff has happened previously that they'll probably want to read, but that's not a bad thing imo. Or in DC's cos they'll sell TPB's & stuff. | |

| It's still being sold as Green Lantern #1 not Green Lantern #68.
I can already tell that many new readers will be picking it up only to have no idea whats going on and never pick up issue 2 because it will probably only enforce the idea that the decades of continuity make it nearly impossible to break into comics.
With the recent interest stirred up by the movie and the way DC is reaching out for new readers with this relaunch, you would think Green Lantern would be getting the same treatment as Superman.
Sure they did that with Justice League, but why is it not happening in his own book?
I'm just saying that as a first issue meant to appeal to new readers, it doesn't do the best job of being new reader friendly the way every single other #1 (that I've read so far) has.

Not to mention Batman is the same and yet not the same. Jason seems to be still friendly with the Bat Family, Harley is different, Joker seems different, Dick has to be younger if he was thirteen when he started as Robin even if they started a few years before the five year mark he still barely in his twenties which is at least 3 or 4 years younger. All the events in Swamp Thing's book seemed to have happened. It feels like when they did One Year Later only this time it's Five Years Later and we don't really know the charcters anymore. Sure they're similar to the ones we knew but different enough that they seem like strangers. The JSA is gone and on another earth and yet we still have a few of their members left. It feels like someone dumped four boxes of differnt puzzles together into a pile and tried to put them all together into one puzzle and a lot of each of the pieces are missing. | |

We're talking about New New readers not just new to the book. Of course a comic fan is going to have an easier time following it. | |
