^ I've always been more fond of original 5 X-Men. Great characters (some of the best in the entire X-Universe, IMO), and they fought some of the coolest villains between Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister, Madelyne Pryor, and the Celestials themselves. Always facing big villains and complex threats head-on.
I never like the tongue-in-cheek, never-quite-serious style of Peter David's X-Factor.
I don't have the entire series of the original X-Factor, but with the acquisition of X-Factor #6, I now have every significant issue and storyline in their run. Anything I don't have are just filler issues.

Yeah, after those major issues, the other issues can usually be obtained for about 50 cents a piece. X comics from the 80s and 90s are mega cheap.
I LOVE the tongue in cheek. :) One of my favorite X series is X-Statix by Milligan and Allred.

I'm curious to see what everyone's thoughts are on DC's New 52 now that we're this far into it? We're at a point where all the shiny newness should have worn off.
So, what do you guys think?

Can we go back to old 52 now?
Can we get Steph Brown, Cass Cain and kickass Jaime Reyes back?

I'm not happy with it just because it's not MY DC Universe. I am familiar with that world and those characters, and I liked that. I don't know these new characters. And while my favorite books, the Green Lantern books, were barely chaged at all, it seemed the stories weren't as good as they were before the change.
That said, I am still enjoying the Green Lantern books, nonetheless, even if they aren't quite as good as they were before. And I'm enjoying Earth 2. However, things seem a little slow-moving in Earth 2.
Justice League I didn't like. It didn't feel like it lived up the title. The artwork is absolutely phenomenal. But the stories just seem kind of simplistic to me. I expect bigger and badder threats with the JL. Superman is, well, average. It's not bad, but it's not particularly good.
I haven't been following Batman or Wonder Woman. But I did just start on Batman with the first issue to Batman: Year Zero, which wasn't bad.
Captain Atom and Firestorm I wish I had followed. But on the bright side, it won't be hard to track down the back-issues since those books were already cancelled. I did get the first couple issues of both books, but then cut them due to my budget and trying to limit my comic purchases.
