 * I like Demon Knights and All-Star Western. But they're period pieces, not bothered by the larger universe.
 * I've yet to read Court of Owls, but I hear it's good.
 * Aquaman's actually pretty good. The first issue was a waste of paper, but the later stories are better.
 * I wasn't too excited about Green Arrrow, and the Arrow fans I've spoken generally think he's too young, too Smallville-esque. Ollie was established as fortyish (until his revival by the Spectre, which made him some ten years younger).
 * Suicide Squad's changed too much. People often forget, but most of the strength of the old Squad came from the support staff, not the away team. Briscoe (the pilot), John Economos (the warden, who should get his own title), Richard Craemer (the padre), Murph (the chief guard), and Marnie Herrs and Flo Crawley (the swooning girls fawning over Deadshot and Bronze Tiger, resp.). Not to mention The Wall. Fat and angry, and not from a military background but an urban housewife who lost her family to gang violence. The Suicide Squad: Raise the Flag miniseries is better than this recent stuff. Although I think it kills off more characters than the entire old series ever did.
 * I've yet to read Masters and Amethyst.
 * Batman Earth one technically isn't part of the DCnU. I liked parts of it, but not everything. But if it's Gary Frank art, I always pick it up.
 * Danny the Street is from Morrison's Doom Patrol days. I haven't read him in Titans, but in DP, he made sense.
 * Teen Titans... they've been called Tron Titans because of all the lights in their costume. As for the "only Tim can save the world"... that's pretty common in comics, it's just poor writing.
 * I really should read some of the new JLI. It's no Checkmate, but it's close.
