kilroyBatman and Robin: Surprisingly not bad. I still hate Damian, but the writing's worth another look.
Batwoman: I've been waiting months for this one, and it is full of win. Great art, good characters, nice story. Am subscribed, will continue.
Deathstroke: Perfectly well written, I just don't care. Pass.
Demon Knights: Umm... surprisingly, yes! And I think I may see a female dominated team. Also, Vandal Savage as a good-ish guy. I love Paul Cornell. Will subscribe.
Frankenstein: It's the monster squad. It might actually be okay, but I don't think I could get past the premise. Pass.
Green Lantern: Pretty interesting, actually. I'll keep an eye on it, but we have to overcome my natural apathy for the characters.
Grifter: I have no idea what the deal with this one is even after reading it. Pass, but possibly worth checking in on after a few issues when the story has developed.
Legion Lost: Too many characters for a new reader, even if I am passably familiar with the Legion. Story's not terrible, but I'm not feeling it. Pass, with a possible re-look later.
Mr. Terrific: Casual racism and the standard dead child time travel scenario. Plus they screwed up my girl. Pass.
Red Lanterns: Just no. Pass.
Resurrection Man: Surprising and awesome. That's the way you re-introduce a character. Will definitely read next issue, may subscribe.
Suicide Squad: I hate all the character redesigns, but the feel is right. Worth observing.
Superboy: A true reboot. Well-written, amazingly drawn, and you get Rose Wilson into the bargain-- plus the new Teen Titans, in all probability. Definitely will read the next issue.
Totals:
Read: 6 (Stormwatch, Static Shock, Batwoman, Demon Knights, Resurrection Man, Superboy)
Observe: 5 (Batwing, Swamp Thing, Batman and Robin, Green Lantern, Suicide Squad)
Skip: 16 (Action, Animal Man, Batgirl, Detective, Green Arrow, Hawk and Dove, JL, JLI, Men of War, OMAC, Deathstroke, Frankenstein, Grifter, Legion Lost, Mr. Terrific, Red Lanterns)
