What of the pre 52 runs are worth picking up? Is it just the original run?

I haven't read it yet, but I feel like there were a couple people here who liked it. And some others who didn't.

I can't fucking wait for Casanova to come back. Fraction is dominating with Sex Criminals, but dude's Casanova comics are pure passion, and they're his best work. Also, Ba, Moon, and motherfucking Michael Chabon.

It's all i can speak for, but yeah the original stuff is awesome. I haven't read the Giffen stuff or the From the Ashes mini.
It's a bit incomplete, though, not just in that there's only 50 issues but a lot of the titles that it crossed over with (and it crossed over a lot) aren't on Comixology
I quit it after issue 7. It started off strong but it didn't have a great second arc to keep me interested.

It's boring as shit. I tapped out after the first arc.

You could try an issue or two, i read the first 13 after having pre-ordered it from dcbs and let it stack up, i didn't like it at all. I forget exactly why, i think it was more "mysterious mystery" without being a good book issue to issue. I say Nay.

Read the first issue and it sort of had the same vibe as Morning Glories, which is something I'm not really looking for now. Thanks for the assessment.

What? You don't want a book that confuses the fuck out of you for 40 issues? Why ever not?
I actually did finally give up Morning Glories for good. I just can't deal with that book anymore. I read 38 issues and still know very little about what's happening. Ugh.

You may have worse taste than Messi, bet you gonna still buying Catwoman.
Messi dropped Catwoman, it's the Golden Age of ComicGAF

Look I'm just saying his war on straight lines may be misguided.
Besides, Gary Frank's work on the most recent Shazam was great. Get him onboard.

Prince Robot the 4th from Saga.
Edit: Did you meant the character or the video? Im confused right now.
Poor Messi reads one crappy book and he picks up the label of liking shitty books.
It's kind of like that girl who goes out on a date with a boy in high school and kisses him on the cheek. Then he goes back to school and says he went all the way and she gets called a whore for 4 years.

The video, I know who the character is.

alright, i'm gonna shamelessly plug the stuff i'm selling for a second. I'm unloading some comics to free up space and make some extra money for more comics to take up more space, anyone wanna buy some comics? I have some stuff. Some Snyder Batman (one is signed!), Captain Marvel, Remender Secret Avengers, X-O Manowar, Slott Amazing Spider-Man (a signed Ramos #700) in there, IDW GI Joe, Lemire Animal Man, etc. Check it out!
. Alright i'm done for now.
Anyway so I really love this Luke McDonnell page from Suicide Squad #10
He's pretty good at fight scenes. And drawing in general. Perfect fit for the book. Apparently nowadays he just does random color work here and there, which is too bad but at least he's still working.
free shipping too

As a Greg Rucka fan I like it. Those saying it is slow aren't wrong but I enjoy it for the world building and characters.
I stuck with Morning Glories until issue 36 and then it perished in the Great Pull List Purge. Different from Mind the Gap, i liked Morning Glories for the most part outside of always feeling like i needed to reread it from issue #1 to get what Spencer was calling back from. I'd like to know Spencer's thoughts as to how he got to the point of having to include a Morning Glories University study guide at the end of each issue.

My friend loaned me his issues of Justice League Cry For Justice. I don't remember why but I never read it when it first came out. I'm halfway through it so far and I really like the art work in it. The story is passable so far. I feel like the characterization of some of the players is off, even for the old 52, and it's reminded me just how much history and continuity the old 52 was dealing with. You also have everyone in the Superhero community knowing everyone else and their secret identities. It's such a stark difference to the N52 were not every one has met, or even knows everyone that well.
I had tickets and everything but didn't bother to go. I did get the survey right at 7:16 though. lol

More Batbooks are going to be announced soon, the wording used by Snyder in his latest CBR interview confirmed as much.

What's the exact quote?
What are the chances one is a Catwoman relaunch?
I don't even know what Bat books I'd like. I'm all full up with Batman, & Robin, Batman Eternal, Batgirl, Batwoman.

Didn't you complain about the art when it was previewed some threads back?
How about a book on the rise of Carmine Falcone? A crime drama with a few villains thrown in written by Brubacher as a NU 52 Spiritual Successor to Gotham Central?
