I don't even want to pick up Action Comics anymore, because the Super titles have shown they do not care about continuing a story, just smash and replace. I'm sorry Cornell, you're my brah, brah, but I'm gonna have to pass.
If #13 is good I'll probably keep going with it though.
Batgirl's been great since like...issue 2 and Red Robin really stepped it up once Tim stopped being pissy, plus it's gonna be by Nicieza now and he's awesome and was good on Robin so buy it
also Secret Six
B&R was only originally planned to be 12 issues long, so I hope they've got some good talent lined up for the extension. I'd be happy with Andy Clarke staying on the book, or else Frank Quitely doing some interior work instead of just covers.
I'm reading all the Brightest Day stuff, but it's really the Morrison Bat Books, the Booster stuff, and the Super books (sometimes) that I actually look forward to.
Also, I feel like having JMS on the normal Superman book will kind of undermine Earth One for fans who read the ongoing, so now there will be extra stress on that book to succeed with its casual audience.
What annoyed me about Andy Clarke's run is that for even a simple three issue arc (which works very well for B&R), on #12 he only did half the issue, the other half you have to give major props to Dustin Nguyen and Scott Hanna for doing the best they could to mimic Clarke's style.
It's like, come on brah, you had a good lead-in time and you still struggled at the end.
Frazer Irving is doing #13-#15.
I don't think they've said who'll be doing #16-18. I know Frank Quitely was supposed to do the final arc of the book, but since we don't know how long it's extended who knows when that'll hit.
Although the extension works out better for him since he was sick or injured last year and couldn't do interiors.
Or Nicola Scott, that would be a nice arc. (I like this the most, gives her some big time phat props, yo.)

How would you like Mike Marts' job?
But then again, Tony Daniels is supposed to get to keep writing Batman after the RIP flashback.
tell me how i'm supposed to breath with no air air air
Couldn't find an Air Supply song? Or an awesome 80's hair metal song?

those wouldn't be relevant
and unlike you, my references aren't reaching
But your reference is a flavor of the week, it has no soul, no sweet guitar solo. It is the new/current Green Arrow series.
Both. They told ahead of time it would be canceled so she could plan out.
To be fair, the Predator is a character from the 90s. It was back when Carol was crazy and had her male half running around as the predator and living in her brain or something and her woman Star Sapphire half doing shit, and her.
Give it twenty years and people will think it's a classic when it's actually not any good
On the upside, Booster Gold looks like it's being created just for me, Secret Six looks like they're going to be doing The Magnificent Six, and while the main Teen Titans story looks like it'll be awful, I kind of want to buy it just for the back-up. And Shade the Changing Man's guest-starring in Hellblazer, which is kind of awesome.

Edit: I really enjoyed Johns's Legion backups in Adventure earlier, but I don't know if Levitz is even going after those threads or what. I really know next to nothing about the Legion, even in their current form.
Who has been asking for a male Star Sapphire? That's nothing I really care to read about. I'm perfectly fine with them being the cheesecake faction.
i think the chaining of carol front and center on the cover is eye-roll worthy but am otherwise fine with the Predator.

'But between you and me, you know what Booster Gold really needed?
TENTACLES!'
People weren't buying these characters when they were $2.99, why would they pay $3.99?
They should put Eric Trautmann on a big book. He's awesome
