DC releases first 11 titles for Septembers relaunch. Should you buy them?

DC has released it's first 11 titles for September's relaunch.

Justice League #1

Jla_cv11

Pro: Geoff Johns and Jim Lee are the creative team, Con: Will Jim Lee keep to a monthly schedule? Pro: Cyborg is finally in the team, Con: His suit looks like a throw back to the 90s. Pro: GL and Flash are in it, Con: They're not John Stewart and Wally West. Someone lend me a copy when it comes out.

Wonder Woman #1

The costume is an improvement but why switch the gold to silver? I'm curious about Brian Azzarello writing Diana and Cliff Chiang is an automatic buy, so definitely buy.

Aquaman #1

Aqm_cv1

Honestly, I am really hoping Aquaman lasts this time. I still think the closest approximation to Aquaman's costume that looked best was Bruce Willis' cab suit in The Fifth Element. Will buy cause Geoff Johns.is writing it despite my belief that Geoff Johns is spreading himself thin.

The Flash #1

Flsv3_cv1

Not Wally West. I consider Barry Allen icon status and should be part of Wally West's supporting cast. More on that on at another time. I'm skipping the Flash again..

The Fury of Firestorm #1

Firestorm_cv1

Not liking the the title. "Firestorm" is awesome by itself. And can someone get rid of Ronnie Raymond. Wasn't Ronnie in College during Joe Kelly's run on JLA? why take him back to high school? I am curious about Ethan Van Sciver co-writing the book with Gail Simone who is a solid buy. Will buy it cause of Gail Simone plus Jason Rusch is still alive.

The Savage Hawkman #1

Svghkman_cv1

Never got interested in Hawkman. Even when Geoff Johns wrote him. Although I did enjoy reading the jerry-curled Carter Hall with fake wings in the 80s. Curious about Tony Daniel writing him. Still can't decide.

Green Arrow #1

Ga_cv1

Like Hawkman, never got interested in GA at all. Even when Kevin Smith wrote him. There's something off about him. Don't know enough about JT Krul's writing chops. Not gonna buy.

Justice League International #1

Jlifinalcover1

Curious about this too. Kinda tepid on the roster, but this team would be perfect for adding revolving 10th, 11th and 12th chairs guesting international superheroes. Would've loved to have Steel, Geo Force, and Donna Troy in the core roster. Who's that girl in black in the lower left? Awesome that Vixen's given a proper collar. What's up with Booster's costume change? Gonna buy it.

Mr Terrific #1

Mr_terr_cv1

One of my favorite DC characters. Fuck Yeah. Michael Holt gets his own series. I hope it's an ongoing one. Definitely buy.

Captain Atom #1

Catom_cv1

Never had an interest in the character except when he went to the Wildstorm Universe. Don't know enough about JT Kruls writing chops. Someone lend me a copy when it comes out.


DC Universe Presents #1

Dcu_presents_1_final_400

Don't know enough about Deadman to make a call. Someone lend me copy when it comes out.

Good Luck to DC and I hope these titles succeed.
