Post Favorite Books from DC's New 52
I recently started a pull list at my LFGS, and most of the titles are started on were from the DC's New 52 reboot, because I'd wanted to read a lot of those stories but didn't want to have to power through 400+ back issues to get caught up. Also there is a small back log of issues for me to get caught up on so that there will always be at least a 1-2 issue buffer (if I can pace myself) which is nice.

I'm gonna make this easier, pick 3 titles from anywhere in your top ten.

My three in no particular order:
Batman
The Flash
Animal Man


Also just a note: Batman is Fucking Awesome, and easily m favorite super hero of all time. I don't think he's the most powerful (though he arguably is among the most powerful) but I think he's definitely one of the most interesting characters from the Super Hero Genre. And as he ususally gets the attention of some of the best writers and artists out there is usually really great stuff. The alternate story line "The Dark Knight Returns" is in my opinion worthy of a place in the future's halls of classic literature.

Wow that ended up being more than a note :P whatev

I would have never EVER thought I would say this, but Aquaman is my favorite of the new 52. My Top 3 are:

Aquaman
Batman and Robin
Voodoo


There are so many good ones though that it is really hard to narrow it down like that.

You missed the qualification: Pick three from anywhere in your top 10, so if your top ten included:

A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I
J

then these three could be, E,F and G. A,J and I. You get the idea, so you don't have to pick the other 7 that would be in your hypothetical "hidden" top ten.

Those are the two in the second wave I'm looking forward too as well. I enjoyed the H.E.R.O. series they did a while back and am curious what the new take will be on it.

Looks like Men of War is getting the axe. It's a shame as "humans surviving in a superhuman world" books have always been pretty interesting (see Chase or Stormwatch vol. 2, both which died on the vine).
