The Flash (beginning this March) Kid Flash (beginning this April) Green Lantern (until Johns stops writing...) my minis: Blackest Night (ending in March) The Flash: Rebirth (only 2 more issues left) Superman: Secret Origin (ends in March as well) Blackest Night: The Flash (ending in Feb) simple enough. Let the minis run their course and all I have left are 3 monthlies as of next April. (until the NEXT big mini I come across...:P) I’ve gone through my pull list and decluttered some more so now my top 3 are easy!

I will admit that I'm a sucker for GA and BC, so it will take a lot for me to drop it. But OTOH I can also honestly say that I've really enjoyed the last few issues. Mia has made a come back and I find Cupid very enjoyable (although lots of people hate her). My only complaint is Dinah tends to be drawn defying gravity. I've written reviews at my blog if you're interested, click my name for a link. As for Red Robin. It is pretty good but is not yet in my top 3. Give it time.

I only follow two titles, Blackest Night (only the main issues) and Flash: Rebirth. Though, with the current rate at which Rebirth is coming out, it's like I'm only following one title. Guess the biggest reason is the cash. Being a schoolboy, I ain't got a lot of dough to spend. And even if I did, I would likely spend it on trades, while following only these two titles.

On the other hand, it does make it easier to rank books by starting with only three, then only four, then only five, etc. Also: I can't believe I never noticed that World of New Krypton is abbreviated as WONK!

I just can't do it... Here are my current favorites... - Batman and Robin - Daredevil - Green Lantern/Green Lantern Corps - Flash: Rebirth - Superman: WONK - JSA When the Flash books come out, I am hopeful that they will good enough to replace the others. However, I think I would still have Daredevil up there just the same. What an incredibly tough question! I just can’t do it…

I would have to go with the Flash, Jonah Hex, Boostergold. or The Flash, Jonah Hex, and if Booster Gold wasn't avaible then Green Arrow. I would pick everything else up in trade at some point or other. Oh man.

I'd have to say, I'd keep: Supergirl Superman: WONK Green Arrow/Black Canary But when Kid Flash comes out that would replace WONK. I'm surprised I didn't choose Teen Titans - it's been a bit rubbish lately but I'm kind of addicted to it. Blackest Night is a hard one to drop, but it's not as neccessary as the 3 i've chosen.

All three are very well written, and Madame Xanadu (Amy Reeder-Hadley) and Detective Comics (J.H. Williams) have the best artists around, though I think their time on both titles may be ending soon. I know Williams is only on 'Tec for 12 issues right now, and I'm not sure how long Wagner and Hadley plan to stay with Xanadu. As for Batman and Robin, while I would prefer Frank Quitely as the permament artist, what I really read it for is Grant Morrison's scripts and the chemistry between Dick Grayson and Damien Wayne. I think if Bruce ever comes back (as Batman) I'll probably drop the title as it just won't be the same. Right now it would probably be Madame Xanadu, Detective Comics, and Batman and Robin.
