The never ending Thy Kingdom Come story line was a long death knell.<br /><br />Others have commented on the overly long Lemnos arc so OYL "Supergirl and the LSH" felt like a Hail Mary pass after the book didn't resonate with as large an audience as DC might have liked. Felt like a mission statement of "more Superheroics, less movement" Mostly unmemorable for me (well the whole 3-boot was mostly unmemorable for me)<br /><br />OYL Wonder Woman was a disaster - massive delays, a string of different writers, no consistency (Thank Goddess that Rucka is coming come to WW).<br /><br />52 itself was entertaining but the terrible weekly book that followed (countdown... ugh!) proved that there could be too much of a good thing.<br /><br />the first OYL Justice League Arc was terrible. "Hey, let's stare at pictures to vote on who should be in... and put Solomon Grundy in a suit! Genius!"<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00134862258728096913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-70157761365345136532016-05-07T19:36:17.647-04:002016-05-07T19:36:17.647-04:00My reading list had been sharply cut down by this ...My reading list had been sharply cut down by this time. Infinite Crisis was pretty bad, but there was a lot to what the Evil Trio were saying about Earth and the DC Universe in general, I.E. it had taken a disasterously wrong turn and I was totally disgusted. I voted with my feet, that is my wallet. The only book I was consistantly buying was Green Lantern, having returned to it now that Hal Jordan was back. (I had dropped it for the entire time he had been screwed over.) As for the 0ne year later the only thing I bought again was Legion because of Supergirl. I had dropped it because I ran out of patience with the Lemnos arc which after 7 issues, I wasn't sure would ever end.Honeybee9https://www.blogger.com/profile/00272834918553631309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-3237272399030062016-05-07T15:40:37.900-04:002016-05-07T15:40:37.900-04:00The one year later gimmick was a waste.

Instead of rewarding those of us who had been around awhile, we were given story-lines that we weren't, by definition, familiar with. <br />That being said, most of the stories weren't all that exciting, anyway. Like the Legion, all they did was add Supergirl. They didn't need a "time jump" to do that. <br />I agree with you, though, I liked that she was now around.

But I was already buying the Superman titles, Supergirl, Teen Titans and Legion.<br /><br />Of the new books, Aquaman was great, and when Kurt Busiek left it was better. I'd like the Batman and Det. Comics but I didn't like the ending, and Birds of Prey wasn't that good, but I keeped it anyway.<br /><br />Of the books I was already buying, the Superman titles were incredible good. The Up, up and away story was one of the best stories of Superman I had read. Supergirl was a little meh, but I liked the art. The Teen Titans started to went good (because the issues before this were the worst. I only buyed the title because I'm a huge fan of those characters), and the Legion continued to be good, I don't recall a lot of changes (well, they added Supergirl, but nothing more).mxyzptlkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02713397920546559449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-70057478497886341552016-05-06T16:18:21.703-04:002016-05-06T16:18:21.703-04:00I picked up a few books, although mostly more beca...I picked up a few books, although mostly more because of the new creative teams than anything directly related to the year gap.
