Yeah yeah yeah, reboot sucks, ruined DC, etc. etc. But there are some reboot players out there so it seems that people see to there at least a few of you out there that like it.

So what titles are out that you actually like?

I'm enjoying The Ray, Demon Knights, Batman and Robin, Voodoo, and Green Lantern: New Guardians.

Please limit this to titles you like--I know the reboot screwed up a lot of characters and the titles that people like aren't necessarily true to who/what they were, but I'm curious to see who likes what out there.

Green Lantern

I personally like what Johns has been doing since Rebirth and I've been very invested in the story the whole way. It doesn't feel much like a reboot in that the story is just being continued, at least in this title (I don't follow any other DC titles). I am also a big Sinestro fan so I'll read anything with him in it (and Hal to a lesser extent).

I've been meaning to read Green Lantern: New Guardians and the Corps title, but I just haven't gotten around to it beyond an issue or two.

I like Batwing, Batwoman, Demon Knights, and Frankenstein: Agent of Shade.

Oh man, I completely forgot Batwing. That title is excellent too.

I was a bit wary, because Winick is really hit and miss with me (see: Catwoman), but I really love it so far. David is definitely one of my favourite characters right now.

See I hadn't read too much of Winick in the past, but what I had read of his I liked (I can only really remember reading his run on Green Arrow and Under the Red Hood... or is it just Under the Hood? I always mix the two up. Anyway those are the two I can remember off the top of my head), and I'm really glad Batwing came out first, because I sure as hell wouldn't have given it a chance if Catwoman had come out first.

It just boggles my mind to see how much care Oliver and Winick put into creating the Batwing stories to be authentic and not fall into the pitfalls of just sticking him in a giant safari and having the side characters all be inexplicably white like writers/artists have tend to do in the past...and then you see Catwoman.

My only complaint about Batwing is I wish it wasn't a bat title, honestly. Winick's sort of been heavily relying on his relationship with Batman, to the point where I don't think Bruce is ever in Gotham City anymore because he's in Africa every other day. I mean, I love the bat family but let David develop as his own person and stop using Batman as a crutch.

Aquaman, Batman, and Justice League.

I'm not a hardcore comics fan or anything beyond what gets perpetuated in pop culture, but I think these three are my favorite reboot titles so far.

Birds of Prey is pretty good.

Justice League International's the only title I've been following. I like it well enough, but I'll admit, it's gonna read so much better in trade.
