The reason DC's doing poorly is they keep on changing things up, so there's less reader loyalty! Speaking as not-a-fan of the nu52 stuff, what they need is consistency and investment in the universe, not another switchup. There's a reason why Marvel is doing much better, and that's there's much more of a wider universe one can follow, not books-that-change-everything-each-writer.
I'm not sure what will happen, but in the latest JL solitcs, it states that the actions after Darkseid War will set the tone for the JL in 2016 and beyond. I doubt they'll reboot everything. Plus, there was that rumor of DC's flagship titles going bimonthly.
^ The only DC titles I read consistently these days are Green Lantern and Justice League. I've lost interest in pretty much everything else--and the reboots/relaunches are pretty much the sole reason.
...I can't even get behind any current Bat-books, ffs.

Everything Superman related is terrible, so I wouldn't recommend any of those. People are liking Superman: American Alien by Max Landis, but it's not really a good Superman book.
I liked Earth 2 somewhat before the relaunch, which is terrible.
Justice League seems to drag out a lot with this whole "Justice League are the new New Gods".
I'll get around to reading Martian Manhunter this week and get back on you with that.
But..yeah.
Sinestro I guess? Though I don't like the current storyline, either.
As for the rest, I really can't recommand any book. How sad is that?

I tried reading American Alien. Wasn't really a fan.
Tbh I'm only reading JL to see how the Darkseid/AM/CSA/Hero-Gods thing shakes out. I doubt very much that I'll continue reading after that arc has concluded.
Never checked out MM, but the artwork looked good at least. /shrug
Sinestro got dull for me. Green Lantern blows it out of the water, imo.
Very sad. I remember a time where I was reading several titles monthly because they were genuinely good. Nowadays DC has become a sad shade of what it was then.
When I said 'Bat-books' I meant series' that feature Batman as the primary protagonist. Grayson seemed good when I was reading it(I stopped following after issue #12), but it just didn't do it for me the way a good Batman title does.
Snyder's Batman run got lulz-worthy bad after issue #40, tbh. Up to that point it was fantastic, though... Should have stopped there instead of milking it.
