Well, it's one year after OYL, so what's the verdict...?

I didn't see this poll before I made my comments on the other one, but Gail's Atom has been the best of the bunch.
Again, though, Blue Beetle comes a real close second.

Blue Beetle has been one of the best reads for me. He reminds me of Spider-Man. I did enjoy Nightwing, but I guess no one else did, that's why Bruce Jones was bounced out of there.

I have to go with the All-New Atom on this one.
It has been consistently entertaining, with smart storylines, whacky moments, strong characters and (only) decent art. And while I, too, have missed Ray Palmer, he was never given the treatment by a quality creative team that Ryan Choi has, and thus this legacy character stands out as (if not an improvement), on a par with the original.
Blue Beetle is a close runner-up. This title hasn't taken a misstep yet, and is quickly rising to the top of my pile as well.
The most recent issues of the Flash have been good (with the change in writers)--- but maybe not good enough.
I think Aquaman could have worked. Busiek is one of the best writers working today (IMHO), but the art on this was horrible. I am hopeful about the new creative team of Williams and McManus, and really enjoyed their first two issues.
Dispite my disgust at it's execution, I have enjoyed the relaunch of Wonder Woman. Lush, gorgeous art, interesting new status quo, and passable scripts... It's just that this title has disrespected its fans, and that is a cardinal sin in this world!
Nightwing's opening arc was an absolute disaster in everyway possible, but Marv seems to have it back on track, and the Annual was excellent as well.

Michael, I couldn't agree more that JSofA is the best title DC is putting out right now--- but the poll question is centered around the controversial re-launches (and there's no doubt that JSofA is a smash hit ;D). What's your opinion on the choices given? |

Blue Beetle for sure; I started reading this as part of the OYL without very high expectations (was never a Blue Beetle fan) but what Keith Giffen is doing with the character is fantastic - I highly recommend giving this title a try if you haven't already, even if you have no interest in it.
I also love the Wonder Woman and Marv Wolfman on Nightwing stuff at the moment.
Also a quick mention of the Superman: Up, Up and Away arc which was kind of a re-launch in it's own little way. Now that was great OYL writing!

What's your opinion on the choices given? I don't read any of them except WW,which has been a steaming pile. But I've heard good things about the new Blue Beetle,so I'll go with that |

Blue Beetle rocks. He represents for the latino reads.

Why aren't JSA and JLA on this list?

Why aren't JSA and JLA on this list? They weren't launched immediately after IC? I think that was the criteria, anyway...? |

Personally, I'm liking the Justice League and Blue Beetle relaunches.
I was a bit worried about the new Beetle (I once joked the new Beetle would be a teenage girl. I was half right), but I really have grown to like the new kid, and what Guy did for him in the latest issue makes me think the character would get even better.

Gotta go with the Beetle from the listed titles.
Personally, I've enjoyed Wonder Woman, but it's lack of a consistent release date (and story conclusions - Action comics as well) has thrown me off...

Blue Beetle and Justice Soceity. Both are fun for totally different reasons.
