We haven't done one of these in a spell, so I thought it'd be cool to resurrect it.
Post your DC only pull list. The next person will rate your titles and reveal their own list. And make sure to tell the above poster why you rated them as such.

3: Very Good
2: Good

2 (i see a reoccurring theme here with 2's) - It looks like you like the Titans a bit (me too:biggrin: ) but you should branch out more and check some other characters out. If you like the Titans, you might like Blue Beetle. (yeah, that gets suggested alot around here, heh)
Okay then, here's mine...
Blue Beetle
Batman
Green Lantern
Green Lantern Corps
Flash
Teen Titans
Titans
Trinity
Booster Gold
Green Arrow / Black Canary
Justice Society of America
Justice League of America
Brave and The Bold
Final Crisis
(Robin WAS on here, but you know, the news with Dixon...and I'll jump on Robinson's JL as soon as it starts.)
And I didn't put any of the F.C. mini's on here cause it's too many to list.

4. You have a good mix of characters and it looks like you're reading all the titles you need to to keep up with current events in the DCU. You are missing out on some great Superman (All-Star and Action) and great Bat stories (Detective) but because it may just be personal preference, I won't take points off. :wink: You'd probably like the Teen Titans: Year One mini as well since you're a Titans fan.

[QUOTE2. You don't branch out from the main "Trinity" very much, you should try more titles.]/QUOTE]
How very true. I can't deny that the Big 3 are my favorite characters. But I can understand that I should breech out a bit more.
Green Lantern and The Flash do little for me, so I'm not concerned with adding them to my list. Nor do I care for the JSA.
How about adding Teen Titans? Is that a good book?

Oh, I meant to put that on there. I really have been enjoying that mini and I really love Kerchel's(sp?) art. And I've read Detective on and off for awhile, I like Dini's writing. Though I do miss 'Legends of the Dark Knight'.

Tempted to give 4 just because of Jonah Hex, but only 3 DC books? That's a bit of a bummer. I'll still give you a 2 or a 3.

Perhaps, but not as much when you consider I buy zero from Marvel.
Although I might have to start picking up Thunderbolts because I keep reading and hearing about these great lines of dialogue from Warren Ellis.

If we're grading diversity of titles alone, you'd clearly get a 4. However, if we're judging the overall quality of a list, I've got to downgrade you to a 2. There's a lot of quality in there, but also quite a bit of garbage. If you're looking to drop that much cash each week, I'm sure there are a few better non-DC titles to spend it on.
Anyway, here's my list. I know it's going to get thrashed. My tastes are never popular. I'm just curious what the next poster will say:
All-Star Batman & Robin
All-Star Superman
Batman
Detective Comics
Green Arrow & Black Canary
Legion of Superheroes
Nightwing
Simon Dark

GLC is great! You should pick up the 'Recharge' tpb. It would give you a good idea on where most of the main characters come from and how/when they were recruited. After that just jump on in. It's turning into a great team book under Tomasi in my opinion. It's got some great characters in it.:biggrin:

I'd give that about a 3.5 - you're clearly a huge Batman fan which is great but my qualms are with the stuff I see as pointless or superfluous like the Tangent Superman book and all the extra Batman books that I personally don't care for. Oh, and Green Arrow/Black Canary. That said a lot of it is great, and probably reflected in my own list, which is:

Your list is looking really good in terms of quality titles and it's well rounded as far as all the DC characters go. Although Titans sucks nowadays IMO, and Trinity is a redundant title but otherwise solid stuff. I see that you're picking up Detective and All Star Batman and Robin, decided to go with those over Morrison's Batman I take it?
Your pull list rating: A-

Dream boy. Trying (handicapped somewhat by my near total ignorance of current DC series) to evaluate your list. Then I made a conceptual breakthrough... they all feature good looking chicks. On that basis, has to be A+.

Jonah Hex
Manhunter (here DC thoughtfully saves me money by only issuing once a blue moon.)
