By Josh Wilding - 8/26/2012

Starting with Justice League #1, DC Comics rebooted their convoluted (and arguably confusing) continuity this time last year with 52 new #1 issues. Some titles featured characters who hadn't been featured prominently in their own books for quite some time (Animal Man, Swamp-Thing), others wiped untold amounts of stories from history (Supergirl), and a few even offered an entirely new perceptive on iconic heroes (Aquaman). A few titles actually remained pretty much the same (Green Lantern) or just had impressive creative team shake-ups (Batman). The question we asked you was whether or not you guys consider it to have been a success. Well, below are the results in full, and as you can see, it appears that the majority of you have been pleased with the direction of "The New 52" so far. Should Marvel follow in their footsteps?

	SageMode - 8/26/2012, 10:03 AM Login to report abuse LOL. This is hilarious. Oh well, what can you do, huh?
	Rowsdower - 8/26/2012, 10:03 AM Login to report abuse New 52 SUCKS ASS
	BattlinMurdock - 8/26/2012, 10:08 AM Login to report abuse F.L.A.S.H.
	Kokomo - 8/26/2012, 10:12 AM Login to report abuse I've enjoyed The Justice League, The Flash and some of the Earth-2 stories. For me, the New 52 was a welcomed change.
	Bandido - 8/26/2012, 10:13 AM Login to report abuse Great! Batcow should have its own comic book :) lol
	WellDrawn - 8/26/2012, 10:25 AM Login to report abuse WOULDN'T have a problem with them starting from scratch, and doing a reboot IF that's truly what they were doing. - Instead, all we have here is a relaunch for some characters, while other pre-existing story arcs are (somehow) left intact, only because Geoff Johns doesn't want to see the story lines he worked on suddenly not have a place in the current continuity. DC has attempted to 'reboot' their universe several times now over the years, but never has it truly been what a reboot should be - a ground-up, starting from scratch, retelling of each characters origin stories, leading up to the introduction of the Justice League, roughly a year or so after the initial relaunch. Bottom line - Trying to shoehorn the old continuity with the new is like oil and water... Oh well, I'm sure DC will give us another 'reboot' in about 10 - 15 years.
	Spidey31 - 8/26/2012, 10:25 AM Login to report abuse Court of owls was amazing
	IronLeprechaun - 8/26/2012, 10:28 AM Login to report abuse I only really care about Flash and Batman in this...
	Judecheung - 8/26/2012, 10:33 AM Login to report abuse if marvel wants to reboot, they should bring the ultron war or the 2099 or the A-Next or whatever that are claimed to be in the future to the present... just like in terminator 3&4 "future is now" tell the story of these epic endings, give us a satisfying end, and then reboot them really from scratch but hey no need to reboot actually
	repulse93 - 8/26/2012, 10:33 AM Login to report abuse I speak for creation when I ask: WHERE THE [frick] ARE STEPH AND CASS?!?!?
	aquaman52 - 8/26/2012, 10:36 AM Login to report abuse I have enjoyed the New 52 for sure. Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern, Justice League, and I've been getting The Dark Knight and Arkham Unhinged. I have bought some of the others but those are my mainstays.
	SamWinchester - 8/26/2012, 10:47 AM Login to report abuse "New 52" is a piece of shit.
	marvel72 - 8/26/2012, 10:49 AM Login to report abuse i'm loving animal man,batman,swamp thing,wonder woman & aquaman(will drop that book after johns leaves) i'm also reading green lantern,the flash & red lanterns,personally they ain't as good as the above books i mentioned,might start reading justice league dark i've only read a couple of issues.
	CBArtist - 8/26/2012, 10:50 AM Login to report abuse Only picked up a few iisues of some of them. I've completely dropped all Marvel and DC titles.
	bundyse - 8/26/2012, 10:50 AM Login to report abuse On whole i enjoyed 52. Just cancelled the Teen Titan / Superboy titles just couldn't get into them like the classics. Thank god i've still got Young Jusice
	coolguy - 8/26/2012, 10:56 AM Login to report abuse I've really enjoyed most of the titles I read. A few things disappointed me like losing some of the history with the titans, jsa, firestorm, and hawkman. I love earth 2 though and I think the reboot is probably more good title than bad. Whig is fine cause I have a budget anyways.
	lokibane2012 - 8/26/2012, 10:59 AM Login to report abuse So from this we know: 1/4 of the people either hate it or never bothered with it 1/2 the people have mixed feelings 1/4 think it's excellent that averages out to an almost perfectly mixed reaction...
	MutantEquality - 8/26/2012, 11:03 AM Login to report abuse Some things have been great such as making Aquaman cool for the first time, Court of Owls had amazing moments and I even loved the Dark Seid story arc if only to hint at things to come. Awful things were the semi reboot that played major favoritism on who's history stayed and who's went. Really shitting on character like Tim Drake. Also, how can Superman and Wonder Woman hook up so soon? You can't date someone else after that. At the end of the day it still feels like a marketing scheme to make money with a few cheap thrills. I'd rather have a true reboot for a new generation but I'll keep reading hoping for the best.
	GiftedYoungster - 8/26/2012, 11:20 AM Login to report abuse I really liked the first half of the year. Some things petered out. But I'm still pulling: Batwing, Batman, Batwoman, Batman and Robin, Animal Man, Action Comics, Flash Aquaman, Stormwatch, Wonderwoman, Swamp Thing, Earth 2, and Justice League So I'm diggin' It.
	MJPETTY7 - 8/26/2012, 11:22 AM Login to report abuse Bat books, Aquaman, Justice League, and Green Lantern. That's all I read. I will check out Lobdell's run on Superman though, can't wait for that!!!
	OwenWilsonsNose - 8/26/2012, 11:27 AM Login to report abuse Every single issue of the new 52 Batman has been absolutely fantastic. Wonder Woman has (surprisingly) been my second favorite of the group, with the JLA coming up third, and the new Superman coming in fourth. Batman is far and away better than them all, but the ones ive mentioned have all had some really great moments that make them worth keeping up with for the long haul.
	GoILL - 8/26/2012, 11:30 AM Login to report abuse Only title I read is Batman and i've enjoyed each issue so far.
	TonyChu - 8/26/2012, 11:41 AM Login to report abuse I'm loving it. There are some titles I cant stand; Teen Titans and all the ones previously headed by Liefield.
	REDSTORM - 8/26/2012, 11:51 AM Login to report abuse Looks like the majority of CBM users have expressed various degrees of positivity to it.
	Malacos - 8/26/2012, 12:01 PM Login to report abuse All-Star western and Justice league Dark are my favs
	Tomontherun99 - 8/26/2012, 12:03 PM Login to report abuse @repulse93 In the UK a batman guidebook has been released about a week ago and confirms Steph still exists in the New 52 but is no longer Batgirl or Robin and has reverted back to her Spoiler identity.
	Netman0007 - 8/26/2012, 12:13 PM Login to report abuse THE FLASH IS THE BEST OF THE NEW 52!!
	Tainted87 - 8/26/2012, 12:14 PM Login to report abuse Haven't read past the weekly 52 series in '06. I feel like the characters have already been defined, their crowning moments already published... what's left?
	weaponx123 - 8/26/2012, 12:29 PM Login to report abuse I like a few books that DC has put out like Red Hood, Batman and Robin Green Lantern and well The Flash is the best book in new 52 by far! and with green lantern about to possibly become a total wreck with Baz Flash might end up being the only one I keep on my pull list at my local comic shop...but I will wait and see. I really hope that Jim Lee brings back Wildcats like he wants too!
	SageMode - 8/26/2012, 12:47 PM Login to report abuse JUST1SUPERGUY "Only people who don't like the new 52s are terrorists and pedophiles".
	breakUbatman - 8/26/2012, 12:50 PM Login to report abuse @earzmundo check out Uncanny X-Force buddy its crazy good. Batman, Aquaman and Wonder Woman are excellent reads (still need to catch up on Swamp & Animal). Justice League has been seriously dissapointing they should have read Ultimates volume 1 to see how to shake things up a bit. As for Superman.... ...Shame
	Ha1frican - 8/26/2012, 12:55 PM Login to report abuse I lik the idea of Cyborg in the JLA and most of the new costumes but if the model the movies after it leave OUT Aquaman and leave IN Cyborg. Im subbed to Action and superman and honestly othr than from a collection stand point they havent been interesting or tbh made any sense story wise.
	Fastestmanalive - 8/26/2012, 1:10 PM Login to report abuse Definitely some awesome titles, Batman, Suicide squad, Flash, Green Lantern, Nightwing, Aquaman, Batman and Robin, Birds of Prey, Green Lantern Corps, Batman Dark Knight, just to name a few.
	Minghagz - 8/26/2012, 1:39 PM Login to report abuse Love the new 52. I especially think that they made titles like Flash and Aquaman ready for an adaption on screen with what they've done.
	CaptainAmerica1945 - 8/26/2012, 2:01 PM Login to report abuse I gave up DC a year ago and honestly have not missed it at all. Maybe I will read it again in 10 years when they do their next reboot/restart/rehash.
	CeltiC527 - 8/26/2012, 3:50 PM Login to report abuse I love all the Green Lantern titles and every book Geoff Johns is writing and will write! ;)

	TDKR11 - 8/26/2012, 5:51 PM Login to report abuse I've enjoyed the new 52 but its still a work in progress with some of their B list characters who aren't selling well in their titles. So far im picking up Batman, B&R, Nightwing, Red Hood and Outlaws, Im now picking up Batman INC, Batman:Dark Knight because of Hurwitz, Action Comics, Justice League, and Swamp Thing. I do plan on dropping Action Comics once Morrison is done with his run. Batman, Batman INC, and Swamp Thing are outstanding reads. While JL, Action Comics, and surprisingly Red Hood and Outlaws, have been very entertaining/enjoyable reads. Nightwing and now B&R I'm starting to get bored with.
	super01 - 8/26/2012, 7:15 PM Login to report abuse The "New 52" totally sucks, and no reboots for Marvel needed!
	SigmaCenturion - 8/26/2012, 7:36 PM Login to report abuse @Tainted87 Your avatar had me flicking my monitor.
	SteveRogersSon - 8/27/2012, 4:46 AM Login to report abuse Overall, the revamped universe is ....meh. Just be happy that Morrison is gone people...be happy!
