Short reads and new review plan?

I got Teen Titans and Justice League Dark. I already read TT and I'm struck by how short it seemed. I mean JLI seemed a lot longer by comparison, likely because it had more characters in it but still. Superboy, which was written by the same writer as TT also seemed longer as well. 

I haven't even started on the reviews yet but I think I'll try to post them either Thursday or Friday. Next month I think I'll drop a couple books, Captain Atom for sure. The reviews will be a little different since I'll be dropping the introduction summaries for the characters. We'll see if Lady Flashpoint sticks around for another month. At present I feel it's still far too early to judge the relaunch as a whole. There have been good and bad changes but I think we all can agree that their taking some chances. We'll see if they pay off.

  1. I must say I have, for the most part, enjoyed the relaunch reads that I have read. I agree that it is too early to judge. I look forward to both your reviews, but won't read them until next week, as they were both titles my brother was getting. I went by a shop today while on the road and picked up the last two Daredevils and Aquaman (yes that is right). I had no expectations and had not thought I would get anything this week. And I am not ashamed to say that I loved it. It was quick paced, funny, and set up a story arc that could be fun. I was shocked.

  2. Same here. Let me know what you think, I'm curious how they hold up to everyone else. I did hear good things about Aquaman but I don't think I'm going to add another book. I already have about 2 or 3 other books I'm thinking of trying out. I like that their poking fun of Aquaman and running with the concept.

  3. Justice League Dark was surprisingly good. Beautiful artwork, and heck, it had Cosnstantine in it, which is always nice. Didn't get Teen Titans, mainly because I can't stand Booth as an artist.

  4. Yes it was, I think it lived up to the hype even though I barely know any of the characters. I'm not too fond of Booths' art, I think it's his faces I dislike, but it was enjoyable.
