Justice League sounds, well, insane, but it'll probably be pretty interesting at the very least. I dig Milligan. I'm pretty indifferent to Swamp Thing, as there are obviously fans of his out there, but I often wonder if his status is based more in Alan Moore than in the core concept, which makes it difficult to re-launch. What do I know, though?

So it's 3 versions of the Justice League in htis reboot now ?
One is the JLA, the other is the JLI and now the JLD for magic ?
I'm surprised that they didn't add Raven, Zantanna or Amethyst into the line up.

It's too bad DC did nothing to keep Spencer. He would have added a lot to this relaunch

That Animal Man art looks hideously creepy.
Of all the announcements to this point, however, I'd dare say this group inspires me to check in on this event the most.

I'm down for Swamp Thing and Justice League Dark. Interested in Animal Man and Frankenstein but I'll decide next month.

These all sound awesome. If it ever comes down to it, I'll rather drop my Bat- and GL titles than any of these.
I hope Cornell is writing something besides Demon Knights.I. AM. THE. NEW. GOD.
Across countless worlds, for countless eons, not a voice is raised in hope or joy.
Across these worlds, these infinite lands throughout the cosmos, there is only Darkseid.

Wow. I love these! Most of the creative teams are awesome and the books have great premises. xD
I'm very excited for JLDark, Frankenstein, Swamp Thing and Animal Man.
Only bad thing is the lack of a Zatanna comic.Top 3: Batman, Wonder Woman, X-force

And we have the first that I've seen official WildStorm character make her appearance as a DC character now, with Priscilla Kitaen in Voodoo.
As a long time WildStorm fan, I am psyched that the characters aren't going away, but cautious as to how they might be integrated.
