It's hard to say how Batman and Robin will look post-Quitely. So I'm gonna go for Secret Six.

Secret Six and 'Tec aren't exactly new comic series.

I'll go with Batman and Riobn followed by R.E.B.E.L.S.

B&R for reasons that have been detailed in length, and REBELS because it's a great cosmic book with a great cast and features the coolest main character I've been introduced to from DC in... well, a long time.

Ah... new series? That would be Batman & Robin obviously.

Best title overall, though? Detective by a mile.

its gotta be batman and robin. detective comics isnt new only in who the lead character is and ill bet shes gone from it as soon as bruce returns. secret six is not new anymore, its over a year now. if not for that ide say secret six

overall ide say Green Lantern with the rage of the red lanterns story and agent orange earlier in the year and the blackest night in it now. then secret six. cant say detective comics because batwoman has only been in it for a short time so i cant give it an overall with the little it has given us

Only one issue in so far, but Adventure Comics looks like it's going to be great.

One more vote for Batman & Robin, I think the style Quitely's using here is going to be hugely influential.

The end of Legion of Three Worlds created a ton of buzz, that was pretty creative.

I could go either way on the first issue of Doom Patrol, but I've got high hopes for it.

The new JSA run is hearkening back to old school fun comics, It's going to take a bit for people to switch gears from Johns, but I think it's the right approach to take with the book and people are going to wind up loving it.

JSA vs. Kobra has been completely opposite to the main book in tone, it feels like Rucka's Checkmate series, but it's been really tightly plotted.

Wednesday Comics has been surprisingly fresh.

Detective, if only for the incredible art.

Green Lantern, of course, is epic.

And I've enjoyed Winnick back on Batman.

Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? was pretty good too.

I'd say the best books are Batman and Robin, Green Lantern, Jonah Hex, World of New Krypton, Superman, Blackest Night, and Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader

The best new books would be Batman and Robin and Wednesday Comics, I can't decide between those two. I would add Adventure, but it's only one issue in, I need to give it a little more time to decide.The best two series already going is definitely Green Lantern and GLC.

Batman and Robin for best new series, followed by Blackest Night (and it's tie-ins), and Power Girl.

Best ongoing series: Detective Comics, followed by GLC, then GL.

Best Mini: Blackest Night, then JSA vs. Kobra, followed (oddly, I don't know why) by Final Crisis Aftermath: Run.

It's great to talk about my favorites, instead of what I dislike (the best way of saying that is a Magog vs. Titans book, written by the Cry for Justice's "Bizarro Robinson", drawn by the person who drew the Raven mini a year or two ago).

Batman and Robin and Blackest Night. Adventure Comics #1 was good, but that's only one issue.

Batman & Robin wins it for me. I really had my doubts after reading FC last year with Grant's writing, and didn't really think RIP lived up to the hype, even though I felt that it was very solid. I also had not seen much of Quitely's art outside of All-star Supes and his New Xmen run with Grant. B&R delivers in both style and story telling, even if its just 3 issues in with Frank leaving for a bit.

REBELS is my second choice. I wasn't crazy about Andy's pencils but they grew on me, and I liked the fact we got to see a cosmic DC scale outside of the usual Green Lantern perspective.

There have been several solid ongoings. Those are easy enough to figure out for most people having mentioned them above already.

Secret Six. The best book DC is putting out right now, without a doubt.

And I'd say Wonder Woman and, if we're counting Vertigo, The Unwritten are close seconds

I've liked a number of new series this year.

Power Girl--old school superheroic fun
Secret Six---delightfully perverted and sick
R.E.B.E.L.S---old classic character back in action
JSA vs. Kobra---a mini, but the best JSA story in years
