I've already put 46, 47 & 48 on my pull list.

Remind me again why you don't run DC Comics, Bully? Vote Bully 2012!

Siskoid said...

Awesome ideas, even the jokey ones. The only real stinker is #52, but you gotta let the proles have their fun.

Dave Carter said...

A list full of much awesomeness.

I'm totally in for #12, #25, #28, #39, #40, #42, #45, #46, #47, & #48.

And they can have their #52, as long as they keep that crap out of the other 51 titles.

Rainbird said...

OK, I want #47. I'm sure Sergio would be up to it too. And I loved #48. Sugar and Spike rule.

I really think this whole reboot thing is just a stunt. I mean 52 new books? Why not 43 or 29 or 56? Why the exact number for alternate universe at DC? I think it’s a fake reboot tied into a Crisis story. They’ll bring it all back.

Scott Bryan said...

Oh! And I want…
2,4,7,8,9,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,21,23,24,26,27,32,33,34,35,36,38.

I think you just solved the "Jimmy Olsen problem". He should be running or working for a PR firm that handles super-heroes and even villains. Lots of story opportunities there.

SallyP said...

Oh...My...God. I can't think of a single book that I WOULDN'T buy...with the possible exception of #52.

And may I just say that #10 would be the ginchiest!

These are all just fabulous.

Evan Waters said...

This fixes everything, as far as I can tell. Good show.

The Reverend Charles said...

You know, you could get a pretty good psych profile out of what a person would pull from this list.....

The Reviewer said...

This is the best reboot ever! I would buy all of them in print and digital. Seriously funny stuff!

Eyz said...

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Awesome! Great funny (and actual ideas).
DC needs to do that Aquaman title for real XD
