I just updated my subscription list & I'm sad to say (because of my wallet) that it's pretty large again. Here's the titles I plan to buy in either November & December or both.

DC
All-New Atom-loving it

Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis-#46 either better really tell Orin's story or have Tempest or I'm dropping this

Birds of Prey-I don't like Misfit at all or see the need for a new Judomaster when there was already Gypsy & Flamebird to fill these spots. But, I love Manhunter & Big Barda. I'm kinda torn but I'll keep reading because I love Gail's work

Blue Beetle-love the story & the respect they show for what came before but hate the art

Connor Hawke: Dragon's Blood-loved everything about the 1st issue. This is better than the regular Green Arrow series right now, IMO


Firestorm: Nuclear Man-hated the art in #31, but am enjoying the story right now too. I love Friehawk & wished Pozhar would've been Ronnie. But, still a little bitter about Ronnie Raymond's demise. I'm all for diversity in comics but not at the expense of my favorite characters. For example, here's some black heroes I like/could like that have either been killed off in recent years or are totally unused: Amazing Man II, Bloodwynd, Orpheus & Technocrat.

Green Lantern-very interesting story right now so I'm kind of overlooking the glossing over of the Parallax event in the last story for now

Green Lantern Corps-I love this book. Soranik Natu is one of my faves as well as Guy Gardner & Salakk


Guy Gardner: Collateral Damage-I can't wait for this. I've always really liked Guy.

Hawkgirl-The art & story were pretty much horrible for the 1st 7 issues, but now with #57 I'm able to read & buy this book.

Ion-still loving it

JSA Classified-just started buying it again w/ #19 (haven't read it yet though, but the solicit looked good), before that was #10

Justice-loving it, but still don't understand the exclusion of Firestorm at all especially since Metamorpho, Captain Marvel & Plastic Man are shown

Justice League of America-enjoying it, though the "Big 3" took a LONG time just looking at photos

Justice Society of America-hasn't come out yet, but really it's a big team w/ a bunch of members from the looks of it. I'll buy the 1st issue & see what I think but I'm also still bitter about Hector & Lyta Hall's demise. It was wrong & the Hector Dr. Fate was my favorite & what's going to be done with Dr.Fate is just ridiculous. And why is it so much to ask that some comic couples be happy heroes nowadays? There doesn't need to be just doom & gloom all the time.

Manhunter-love this book

Martian Manhunter-loving it

Mystery in Space-loving it

Outsiders-I recently bought & read the issues I was missing (#37-41) & decided I'll buy at least till the end of the upcoming arc that will explain what happened during the missing year. I have to say though that I have no problem with the Thunder/Grace relationship but I loathe Katana's new look. Why did she have to change? She looked perfect. And I hope that Supergirl is not really joining the team. I know I hated at least the 1st 8 issues of her book. Why can't Halo come back instead?

Secret Six-love this

Shadowpact-loving this

Tales of the Unexpected-very very interesting

Teen Titans-yay, Raven's back. I'm not really sure what I think of Jericho's return yet though or the upcoming Titans East story seeing as how the totally changed OYL Batgirl will be there. I loved her series but they killed her in Robin OYL in my opinion.

Trials of Shazam-so far, so good

Uncle Sam & the Freedom Fighters-Wow! I'm loving it. But where is Ray Terrill? He was an excellent character.

Wonder Woman-wow


IDW Publishing
Fallen Angel-#10 really almost made me cry. If a comic book does that, then it's definitely good.

Other books I will check out & see if the're worth purchasing are the individual upcoming issues of 52 as well as Action Comics, Batman, Catwoman, Detective Comics, Flash: Fastest Man Alive, Green Arrow, JLA Classified (the current story, "Sacred Trust" is semi-interesting) & Nightwing (now that Wolfman's writing it).
