ACTION COMICS. SUPERMAN. SUPERBOY. SUPERGIRL. Plus, JUSTICE LEAGUE and TEEN TITANS have involvement of the Superman Family characters.
What books, if any, will you be picking up?
I plan on picking up ACTION COMICS. Information we've gotten so far doesn't sound like NUperman is going to be my cup of tea, but I am trying very hard to remain "wait and see" and not fully judge it until I read it. I am willing to give Morrison a shot, because he's rarely let me down when it comes to Superman. Plus, I'm hoping Rags Morales will bring a pulpish feel to ACTION COMICS, even though I fully expect the book to be delays or fill-in artists since Morales, traditionally, has had trouble with deadlines.
I plan on picking up SUPERMAN. See my above comments about "wait and see." George Perez is George Perez, I look forward to seeing what he does with the character. I wish he was drawing, too... but I like Jesus Merino, so that's fine.
I will NOT be picking up SUPERBOY or SUPERGIRL. The information we have heard about those revamps sounds even less appealing than the SUPERMAN changes. So, I will pass them by. If they turn out to be good, I'll pick up back issues on eBay or trades down the road.
JUSTICE LEAGUE I am on the fence on, but leaning towards no. I've never quite warmed to Geoff Johns's Superman, outside of a few occassions and without a Superman I want to read, there's no real reason for me to pick it up. And, while I realize he is for a lot of people, Jim Lee is not a selling point for me. That's not a critique of his art; I recognize what people see in it. It's just not for me. Plus, like with ACTION COMICS, I'm worried about delays. (Johns and Lee both have a lot on their plate with their administrative duties and Johns is writing two (or three?) other books besides JUSTICE LEAGUE.)
See my comments re: SUPERBOY and SUPERGIRL, concerning TEEN TITANS.
So, what's your plan?
