Aw, I trust your assessments and reviews of the new books that come out -- if anyone does monitor the current DC crop, I wish/pray it were people who could interpret them in an intelligent and thoughtful way.
Me, I've got longboxes of embarrassment in the basement. I have multiple copies of the first issue of X-Force, for cryin' out loud. The very first one. And most of Ellis's Avatar run, and that's not the sorta thing you want someone reading over your shoulder. *shudder*
There are two more excellent essays that approach just what the hell is going on with the new 52, one by the ever-erudite Andrew Wheeler and one from Laura Hudson that approach many of the same ideas from mostly different angles. And MGK is a a bit kinder (oops HTML fail) toward the 52 than Alasdair in much the same way that a napalm drop is gentler than a tactical nuke. But I'm done with DC (even LSH, which is the one title more or less untouched by the reboot) until they seriously rethink their current editorial mindset or lack thereof.
Haven't given up on the medium yet, but it is a bit like trying to stay a Colts fan when Peyton Manning's neck is a pipe-cleaner.
