Which second wave #1 issues will you get?

[Hierocles]

The second wave's #1 issues are just around the corner.

Which one(s) do you plan to get?

[BrotherUnitNo_4]

Earth 2 is the only one getting a definite issue one purchase.

[Filip]

Batman Inc, baby!!!!

[Ari Gold]

Dial H, Batman Inc (though will probably end up trade-waiting), and GI Combat. Will be tempted by Earth 2.

[neverender]

I'll be getting Earth-2 and Dial H

[SpideyCzar]

Earth 2 & Batman Inc trade waiting though. May try both out digitally after the price drops.

[FHIZ]

Really looking forward to: Batman Inc, Dial H, Earth 2
Hope is good: Worlds' Finest
Will try: Ravagers
Pass: GI Combat

[RedRocker13d]

Getting all of the new #1's just to see if I am missing out on anything. Already paid for them at my LCBS, too.

[Nayrman]

Earth 2 by a mile. Batman Inc. looks interesting but I have enough Bat titles as it is.... <_<;;

[Hierocles]

I'll be getting Earth-2 and Dial H
It could change, but I expect to do the same (+ trade wait for Batman Inc.).

[Shazam]

Earth 2, definitely.
Batman Inc and Dial H, probably.
Will have a look at the rest.

[RockyIII]

I voted for none, even though Dial-H sounds interesting, from what I've read around the web.

[Desaad]

Batman Inc and Dial H I'm really committed to for their full runs (or, rather, so long as they keep their writers).

Earth 2 I will give a story arc.

Worlds Finest and GI Combat I will give an issue.

Ravagers I will give to only my most hated of enemies.

[DrewHLMW]

Batman Inc, Ravagers, World's Finest and Earth 2

[Cavemold]

Earth -2 for me.i will get inc when matches malone comes along.

[christinereed]

World's Finest and probably Earth 2. I'm hoping I like World's Finest enough to get it regularly. I like alternate reality stories. This could be a good opportunity to have Supergirl and Alternate Supergirl (Powergirl) at the same time.

[FanboyStranger]

Dial H and Batman, Inc are definites. I'm going to need some good word of mouth for Earth 2 and GI Combat. No real interest in either World's Finest or Ravagers.

[Wolf_Leader]

Earth 2 is the only one I've put on my pull list.

I will probably pick up issue #1 of all of them except Ravagers.

Batman Inc. might be the first comic I follow in trade format. Some of the others I might read digitally when they are cheaper, but I said that about the New 52 and haven't followed through on anything I'm not buying in paper.

[Xarcon]

I'm getting Batman, Incorporated, Dial H, and Earth 2.

[SteveGus]

Will at least consider World's Finest and Earth 2, but I'm getting extremely wary of anything that might be gory or depressing.

[Movieartman]

Earth 2 Definatly
not touching worlds finest Power Girl deserves better than George Perez
ERIC BASALDUA WE NEED YOU!

[coconutphone]

Dial H, World's Finest and Earth 2 are for sures. Ravagers is a maybe.

[Hulk_Is]

Maybe Dial H after it's been released for a few months. I want to have a better grasp of the writing through a combination of previews and reviews.

[Fused]

Beautiful picture, but Basaldua would still be mandated to draw that vomit-inducing costume she's getting. It would be a sour victory.

[The One and Only]

Earth-2.
World's Finest.
G.I. Combat(Soldiers Vs. Dinosaurs, try & stop me.)

[AaronStC]

Earth 2, Worlds' Finest, and Batman Inc.

[glennsim]

Is it just me, or do the results of polls around here not match up with the commends on the non-poll threads?

To read the other threads, nobody is buying Earth 2. Yet as of this writing it's got a huge following on this poll.

I read about people complaining about the relaunch. Yet when someone does a poll, most people say they love it.

Seems like there is a big group of people who like things and only lurk and enter polls?

[RandomFalls]

Earth-2 and Dial H are definite buys.

Depending on reviews and word of mouth I might try out Ravagers.

[Gellio]

Earth 2 and Dial H are on my pull list for sure. Maybe GI Combat and/or Worlds' Finest in TP. Depends on money.

I'm a little surprised as well. Had a hunch it'd place first, but not that cleanly (it might change in a few days, though).

[Doctor Voodoo]

I'm surprised as well for all the Earth 2 love, wasn't everyone hating on it like two months ago?

Anyway's on topic: I'm getting The Ravagers.

[Rakzo]

I will buy Batman Inc. because I would buy anything that Morrison writes. Now, if he delivers or not is the big question.

Dial H because of all the good press that is receiving and the great opinions from authors that I trust.

Will try G.I. Combat although I'm not into war comics, but soldiers Vs. dinasours is just too fun to miss and I like Krul so I hope that he can deliver an entertaining story.

Earth 2 is a must buy for all the worldbuilding.

The Ravagers because I want to see if Howard Mackie is as awful as my dear comic community has told me.

Worlds' Finest even though I don't enjoy Levitz' writing at all and George Perez can't modernize his style for the sake of his life. However, I love Peegee and Kevin Maguire so I'm hoping for the best here.

[FIFTY-TWO (52)]

My only real reservation is G.I. Combat, but all #1's will be getting bought. But Dial H, Earth 2, WF, and Bat, Inc. are keepers for sure.

[FIFTY-TWO (52)]

I voted for none, even though Dial-H sounds interesting, from what I've read around the web.

Some in the media are already calling Boy Chimney the breakout character of 2012.
I know for a fact (check these boards) that when I first saw him I was sold on Dial H.

[FIFTY-TWO (52)]

i believe he would make it look good

Not even Adam Hughes could make that costume look good.

[Sunbird]

Earth 2 will get a whirl in the hope it isn't the grimdark Trinity focused piece the marketing team have pitched. I may get Batman Inc if it is like the old series and it has some decent focus on the less well known members of Inc. If its just another Batman and Robin book I'll pass though.

Eh, perhaps the fact that there is a disconnect between the way it was marketed and the way it actually seems to be shaping up. If you only read the press releases you'd be forgiven for thinking, as I note above, that it is a grimdark universe dominated by the Trinity. But to listen to the creators it doesn't seem that way. I've grumbled about what the press releases said before, but on the off chance it isn't what they said I'll try it. Perhaps other people think the same.

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

Batman Inc. Season 2 and Dial H. are the surest bets for me.

Am rather unsure of Earth 2, and my interest in the remaining ones is completely zip.

[crossbones]

leaning towards none atm.

[Hierocles]

Useless stat of the moment: the first 64 voters who didn't vote "None" plan to buy 2.84 #1s out of the 6. Roughly half of 'em...

[_Pandora_]

I'm getting Eartrh 2, Worlds' Finest, Batman Incorporated, & The Ravagers.

[maxpower00044]

- Batman Incorporated
- Dial H
- Earth 2

[gwydion]

World's Finest and Earth 2 are my only definites. The costume design on both could be better, but the story on Worlds' Finest sounds like exactly what I want, and a good substitute for the old Simone BOP, while Scott on art is huge for Earth 2, and Robinson hopefully goes back to his JSA roots. Plus I'm hoping Perez and Maguire can pull of miracles with the Worlds' Finest art.

[TheFinisher4Ever]

I'm going to try all of them. World's Finest is the closest to the chopping block though.

[Professor Arkham]

Batman Inc
Dial H
Earth 2

[Yttrium]

Buying:
Worlds' Finest - I like the characters and I like the creative team.
Earth 2 - I'm leery of the writer, but I'm very interested in seeing the revised Earth 2 characters.
Ravagers - I like the art I've seen. I'm not so sure about the plot, but I'll probably give the comic a few months at least.
Dial H - Might be too darkity for my tastes, but I'm a long time Dial H fan, so I'll give it a try.

The silent majority always wins in the end. That's why Batman Inc (Batman sells no matter what) will outsell the other 6. Earth 2 will be 2nd with very good numbers

[Mr. Holmes]

Seriously, Dial H has more votes than Batman Inc? I only wish that represented how the sales would be.

[fishbonex]

I am getting all of them.

Batman Inc looks fantastic, loved the previous run.
Dial H looks insane and fun, love the concept.
Earth 2 looks great, love the idea and all the previews so far.
Ravages sounds like a great co panino to Superboy and the Titans, worth a try.
GI Combat looks like the fun War throwback to the 70s books
Worlds Finest also looks like a fun companion to Earth 2, worth a shot.

You a referring to the vocal minority that is comic fan message boards.

[SediarSago]

I was reading up on Worlds Finest and saw that the Huntress and Power Girl were from Earth 2, yet in a preview for Earth 2, it said the Robin was the same person as Huntress (Helena Wayne). Little confused by that. Either way, picking up Earth 2 and Dial H because they both look fantastic!

[Lascoden]

I think the first issue of E2 is maybe set some time in the past, and will show how Helena and PG got sent from their Earth, to the main DCU where WF is set.

[Reginleif]

I only plan to buy Worlds' Finest, but every time new art is released for it I frown.

[Jake V]

Only Batman Inc.

I might give Earth 2 or Dial H a try.

[Darthsmily]

Earth 2, Batman Inc. and Dial H definitely, not really intrigued by the rest. I'd prob be more interested in WF if Kevin Maguire did all the art, George Perez is past his heyday imo.

[paulski]

Not even Adam Hughes could make that costume look good.

Pfff, can't agree. AH! could make a cloth sack look sexy. :tongue:

[Ed Sizzers]

Pfff, can't agree. AH! could make a cloth sack look sexy. :tongue:
Compared to PG's new costume, a cloth sack is sexy.:frown:

I'll pick up WF #1, but the writing and artwork are going to have be at an entirely new and heretofore undiscovered level of awesome to compensate for PG's new look. If they ain't, I won't be back for #2.

I may give Ravager's a look too, but I'm only really interested in Fairchild and Rose, and there's not really much point buying a team book if you ain't invested in the whole team.

[paulski]

I'll pick up WF #1, but the writing and artwork are going to have be at an entirely new and heretofore undiscovered level of awesome to compensate for PG's new look.

I'd suggest picking up a cheap copy of the #1 variant if you can - Maguire's nearly made the costume look half decent. That boy sure can draw. :cool:

[Batman and Charles]

Wow, Dial H beat Batman Inc! (not by much, but still!) Also kind of surprised Earth-2 came out on top, based on most reactions I've seen to it.

[CTpitch]

Dial H for me
Third wave will be the Pelican Man ongoing for sure

[El Sombrero]

Count me as another among the Batman Inc, Dial H, Earth 2 crew. I'll look at previews for the other 3 and if they look good will give the first issue a shot.

[Chachi]

Dial H for sure. Its the only one i officially added to the pull list. I will pick up the first issues of Inc and Earth 2 also.

[Jim Thompson]

I'll give them all a try, initially.

[jabari18]

I'll start with all and makes cut as I go along

Dial H - Part of the Dark group so there is a 90% chance it would be awesome.

GI Combat - Not really interested in it, but I'll give it a try.

World's Finest - I enjoyed the Huntress mini

Ravagers - Will replace legion Lost

Earth 2 - More Justice league

Batman Inc - It's batman!!!

[Will.S]

Batman Inc. is a definite yes, Earth 2 I'll give a try.

Don't know yet if I want to invest in World's Finest.

[Reginleif]

Seriously, I have a feeling Worlds`Finest is not going to be good

[willc68]

I will most definitely get Dial H and G.I. Combat.

[Hierocles]

Seriously, I have a feeling Worlds`Finest is not going to be good
Why?

[ascended]

I think I'm going to check out Batman Inc digitally when the price drops. Maybe. I enjoyed the last series but I already read Snyder's Batman and have little desire to stretch my budget further. However, if I end up dropping another title and Inc maintains the quality it had in its last run, I'll switch over.

I'm certainly going to check out Earth-2. I'll give it the first arc, and see how I feel from there. Im not exactly against the JSA revamp, but I am wary of how well its going to play; with Robinson's spotty record and the pile of editorial mandates he is most likely dealing with.

World's Finest is getting an issue, maybe two. Depends on how much I enjoy it, but I dont honestly expect to stick with it long. I love Perez, but as others have said he has not updated his style in the least and its become a real turn off for me. We'll see, but I dont have high hopes.

Dial H is the one I look forward to the most. I hope it's on an Animal Man level of creepy awesome. No real idea of what to expect beyond the stuff I have read online, but my hopes are high. Honestly out of all the Second Wave stuff, I can see myself sticking with this one the longest. But again, it all boils down to quality and how much entertainment I get out of it. It gets a full arc, if nothing else.

Ravagers is on the same level as World's Finest. I'll give it a couple issues to impress me but I dont really expect much. I'm mostly reading it for Terra and Rose anyway.

G.I. Combat I'm passing on. I applaud DC for trying to push different genres, but Men of War let me down and soldiers fighting dinosaurs doesnt really do it for me. I may check out a preview or something and take a peek, but dont really plan to buy it.

[Reginleif]

Why?

10chars

the art
my past experiances with the writer
the fact that PG character is different
lack of anything that cold be called a boob window

[dbcb314]

I will try inc. That is it. Dropping Tec for it.

[hawkflash]

G.I. Combat is the only one that really interests me. Something a little different appeals to me. I really have no interest in a 5th Batman book.

[Methalius]

I'm going to give each book at least an issue. I'd like to give each book a full arc before I make a decision but that isn't likely for me.

[JasonTodd428]

I'm going to be trying Earth 2 and World's Finest for certain. I might also take a look at Ravagers to see if it appeals to me. I have no interest in any of the rest of them.

[Zak213]

I think Earth 2, Worlds finest and the ravagers.

I'm trade-waiting Dial H and Batman inc.

[BloodOps]

Batman Inc and Earth 2 for me.

[paulski]

Can't remember if I've actually posted yet... :tongue:

Batman, Incorporated
Earth Two
Worlds' Finest
The Ravagers

And, knowing me, I'll sneak a look at Dial H and may well pick that up too if it's any good.

[weeks]

batman, inc.
earth 2
dial h

[Siclone]

Ordered World's Finest, will pick up Earth 2 as well. Still not made up my mind about Dial H.

[medioCORE]

I had no interest in Earth 2 for the longest time, but now it's the one I'm looking forward to most. The completist in me will be buying all six of the new #1s, but the only two I intend on following are Earth 2 and Batman, Inc.

[Trilipush]

Batman, Inc. for me. I am dropping Batwoman to make way for this title.

[paulski]

You know the best part of all, guys?

Earth Two next week! :cool:

(hee hee, giggles like a schoolgirl...)

[Roldan]

You know the best part of all, guys?

Earth Two next week! :cool:

(hee hee, giggles like a schoolgirl...)

And Dial H which we all know is gonna be the sleeper hit of 2012.

[Ed Sizzers]

Maguire's nearly made the costume look half decent.
Can't be done. And that's no indictment on Maguire's talent at all.

You could be the most insanely talented artist in the world. But if you painted a picture of a pool of congealed vomit, it would still be a pool of congealed vomit. Just a very nicely painted one.

[Hierocles]

And Dial H which we all know is gonna be the sleeper hit of 2012.
I'll pick up both as well... it's going be a busy "first week of the month" for a while (as I'm also pulling AC, AM and ST).

[editor28]

Definitely picking up Batman Inc (because of Morrison) and Dial H (because I'm currently reading the rest of the Dark ongoings). Will look at Earth 2 and Worlds Finest and see what I think after a thumbing through.

[Imraith Nimphais]

I'm very excited for Dial H. and The Ravagers.
And I am very interested in Earth:2.
