There are characters that I like, but they have a bunch of different regular titles, and I'm never sure which one is the best to pick up. So, of the Green Lantern, Superman, Batman, Justice League, etc "family" of comic titles, which titles are you enjoying the most?
I jumped in to The New 52 with both feet, and am still picking up about half the titles. Of the Bat books, Batman is definitly my favorite, with Nightwing and Batman & Robin coming next. Of the Super-Books, Action is kicking most ass. I'm kinda enjoying Superboy too, but more for its Teen Titans ties. In the Green Lantern world, it's New Guardians that is the weakest link. Justice League is probably the best of the Justice titles, but Teen Titans (not technically a Justice book) is also really good. And being that he is in the Justice League, The Flash deserves a mention due to it's awesomeness.

From the bat family I have been getting Batman and Batman & Robin since day one. I have since added Batman Inc,  Red Hood and The Dark Knight (when Hurwitz recently took over). I will get Detective Comics when Layman comes on board because up to this point the writing in that book has been abysmal.

I am getting Superman and Action Comics. I have not been digging the stories in Superman and if they weren't having a change of writer then I would be kicking it to the curb.

From the GL family I am only getting Green Lantern. I haven't found any of the other GL books appealing. I like Peter Tomasi's writing on Batman & Robin but I find his dialogue in GL corps very cheesy and that turned me off that book.

The big highlight of the new 52 for me has been "The Dark" family of books with JL Dark, Swamp Thing, Animal man, Frankenstein and Demon Knights on my pull list every month without fail and they are frickin' awesome.

Agreed. So why does DC do the crossover with JLD and I, Vampire? I, Vampire is consistently not the best book from the Dark Family.
