I haven't read Animal Man outside of the first issue, but since it connects to Swamp Thing, I need to. It also just happens that my local library has both volumes in, so I can check them out that way instead of buying them.

Good jorb, DC.

To make this relevant, we did buy the Trinity in their N52 designs, but mostly because we didn't have any of them yet, and after buying Bats, it seemed natural to get Supes and WW to match. Plus, their shininess matches CIE Wally West and Wave 20 Hal Jordan.

My g/f reads Suicide Squad, but she just picked up the first two Teen Titans trades that came out. She was reading Batman & Robin but dropped it the moment they killed Damian off because that was the selling point of the comic for her. I gazed through the Teen Titans issues as I was not impressed with the first issue (I bought all 52 #1s in 2011) and seeing how it is Trony Titans, I am glad I did not pursue the book. Who knows, maybe the writing has gotten better, but I looked at the new Raven and I do not like her. She is one of my top favorite DC heroes but this N52 version does not even resemble Raven at all.

Of course, aside from the ones I mentioned earlier, I was enjoying Voodoo, Ressurection Man, and Demon Knights, but those have all been canceled. I did also like All-Star Western, but I was getting tired of Hex being in Gotham after 5 issues so I dropped it and will pick up the trades at some point. I liked Wonder Woman until the whole wedding issue (I think that was 7 or 8), gave up on JL after they defeated Darkseid, New Guardians decided to kill Kyle's character development, so I dropped that, and I gave up on everything else after the first or second issue.
