In saying that, however, there were some comics I will not be reading past the first issue. Red Lanterns for example, was atrocious. Not the writing of it, but the depiction of violence. I'm not saying that comics can't have violence, but graphic detailing of an elderly man being hit across the side of his face with a brick isn't inviting. As soon as I saw that panel I put the issue down. Extreme violence for the sake of it is not okay in my books.

As for comics I liked, Animal Man was a real standout, as was Batwoman (remember I'm still only talking about the first issues). I also enjoyed Birds of Prey (I'm a Black Canary fan), and surprisingly, Frankenstein: Agents of S.H.A.D.E. was very enjoyable too, if not a little silly...

Well I just jump around comics from Red Lanterns to Captain Atom.The only ones I stay true to are all of the GL comics except for red lanterns.On the Batman side I read Nightwing,Red Hood and the Outlaws,Batman and Robin,Batman.Lastly I read Teen Titans,Young Justice and Flash.I started to buy comics again when The New 52 was in about the issues 3 or 4 but I bought the others.
