The NEW "New 52" Lineup - LOTS of news!

[xBarryxAllenx]

I was on the road this week and couldn't drop by my LCS until today...and got the news that there were changes in the DCnU lineup. I just got back home and reviewed the HUGE number of articles...that say basically the same things, but still I'll put all the links below. Basically, 6 series are getting the axe, and 6 new series are coming up. There are three I'm particularly looking forward to picking up:

Earth-2, starring the Justice Society (Hopefully watching Jay Garrick coming back here, along with Alan Scott, my favorite two JSA members).

Worlds' Finest (note the placement of the apostrophe), with George Perez drawing Huntress and Power Girl as to Earth-2 heroines "stuck" on Earth-1, trying to get home.

Dial H, an updated version of the old Dial H for Hero series I loved so much as a kid. This one may or may not turn out well, but I'll pick up at least the first few issues just out of respect for the much-younger-me who bought this comic for 12 cents back in the day.

There's much more info, and I'll expand my thoughts on my blog soon (I'll come back and edit in that link later). Here's the link to the articles, including thoughts from Kelson on Speedforce.org:

Wow! A lot of talk about these announcements! What do you think? What issues will you miss most and which of the new comics will YOU pick up?

Although I am excited for Earth 2 a little sad about hawk and dove. Always thought those characters were interesting.

Won't affect my buying in any way, as I didn't buy any of the cancelled series and have no interest in the new ones. Though I've always had a slight fondness for Hawk and Dove, Liefeld kept me far away from it.

I do hope Jay is back in Earth-2, however.

Wonder why they called it Earth 2 instead of JSA but if Jay Garrick is back I'm happy

[Savitar]

Of the new books, G.I. Combat piques my interest the most.

For if Jay, Alan, Ted, and Courtney aren't in this version of the JSA, it's not worth it.
