			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-7269" src="http://comigirl.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/greencorps1-195x300.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="300" />Now that the dust has settled and DC has announced all 52 comic books that will be rebooted and renumbered I am left trying to figure out what my new pull list will look like.</p>
<p>As I mentioned earlier I am not going to report on all 52 titles, just the ones I feel strongly about. Below is a list of what titles I am excited about, and a couple I am not too sure about yet.</p>
<p>Here is my pull list:</p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Justice League</strong> written by Geoff Johns art by  Jim Lee, and Scott Williams • Aquaman with Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis- Geoff Johns is one of my favorite writers and I love both Jim Lee and Ivan Reis&#8217; artwork. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Green Lantern</strong> written by Geoff Johns art by Doug Mahnke &amp; Christiam Almy- When you think Green Lantern you think Geoff Johns. I am not 100% sold on the other three Lantern books, but I am leaning towards giving them all a shot (Tony Bedard is a great writer so I am sure his book will be a good read).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Green Lantern Corps </strong>written by Peter J. Tomasi,  Art by Fernando Pasarin &amp; Scott Hanna</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Green Lantern: The New Guardians </strong>Written by Tony Bedard art by Tyler Kirkham &amp; Batt</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-7268" src="http://comigirl.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/flash1-197x300.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="300" />Red Lanterns </strong>Written by Peter Milligan art by Ed Benes &amp; Rob Hunter</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>The Flash</strong> story and artwork by Francis Manapul &amp; Brian Buccellato- I LOVE Francis Manapul&#8217;s art style and I am very excited to see what kind of writer he is. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Green Arrow</strong> written by  JT Krul artwork by Dan Jurgens- I don&#8217;t know maybe my love of Green Arrow has something to do with Smallville, whatever the case Olly has been a constant on my pull list and will continue to be. I know based on JT Krul&#8217;s run on Teen Titans that The Emerald Archer is in good hands.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">All Batman Books are always on my pull list, but this time some of them will be left off (Batwing?! and I am not a huge fan of Batwoman).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Batman </strong>Written by Scott Snyder art by Greg Capullo</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Detective Comics </strong>story and art by Tony S. Daniel</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Batman and Robin </strong>Written by Peter J. Tomasi art by Pat Gleason</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-7270" src="http://comigirl.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/justice1-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" />Batman: The Dark Knight </strong>Written by David Finch art by David Finch &amp; Jay Fabok</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Birds of Prey </strong>Written by Duane Swierczynski art by Jesus Saiz. When you think Birds of Prey two names come to mind Gail Simone and Oracle (will Wendy Harris be the new Oracle?), without either it will be interesting to see out this book turns out. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Catwoman </strong>Written by Judd Winick art by Guillem March. Selina Kyle is one of my favorite comic book characters, I am so happy she is getting another monthly tittle! </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Batgirl </strong>Written by Gail Simone art by Ardian Syaf &amp; Vicente Cifuentes. I am so exited for this one I wrote a whole article about it. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Nightwing </strong>Written by Kyle Higgins art by Eddy Barrows. Dick is my comic book crush and I LOVED him as Batman, so while I am exicted to see him get his own book, I am also a little disappointed&#8230;and </span><a href="http://comigirl.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/nightwing-red-vs-blue.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[7267]" target="_blank"><span style="color: #333399;">bring the blue back</span></a><span style="color: #333399;">!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Hawk and Dove </strong>Written by Sterling Gates art by Rob Liefeld. I have really enjoined reading and getting familar with Hawk and Dove during Gail Simone&#8217;s current run on Birds of Prey. Sterling Gates <img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-7273" src="http://comigirl.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/ww1-197x300.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="300" />is another writer whose work I enjoy, so I am really looking forward to this one. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Wonder Woman </strong>Written by Brian Azzarello art by Cliff Chiang. While I am not thrilled with the cover art, it is still Wonder Woman, and for me she is always a must read. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">As with  Batman, all Superman books are on my pull list, and (unlike Batman) all will continue to be.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Action Comics </strong>Written by Grant Morrison art by Rags Morales</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Superman: The Man of Tomorrow </strong>Written by George Perez art by Jesus Merino</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Supergirl </strong>Written by Michael Green &amp; Mike Johnson art by Mahmud Asrar. Supergirl is an interesting book. I have read the entire current run, but I haven&#8217;t always enjoined it. When there is a good team on the book it is a great read, unfortunately this book (more so than others I read) seems to get a lot of lack luster teams, sometimes the story is amazing with not so great artwork and sometimes both fall short. Hopefully Green, Johnson, and Asrar will do Kara some justice. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong>Superboy </strong>Written by Scott Lobdell art by R.B. Silva &amp; Rob Lean</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ae51ae;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-7272" src="http://comigirl.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/suicidesquad_cover_2498710928570987987asdfhjakjhskaf-216x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="300" />Suicide Squad </strong>Written by Adam Glass art by Marco Rudy. I had no intention of continuing to read the Suicide Squad&#8230;until I read that Harley Quinn was a member!  How awesome does she look on the cover?</span></p>
<p>There are other books that I am still on the fence about: Dc Universe Presents, The Savage Hawkman, Captain Atom, I, Vampire, Voodo are all maybes.</p>
<p>The Fury of Firestorm is a very strong mabye&#8230;if only because of Gail Simone and Ethan Van Sciver.</p>
<p>Red Hood and The Outlaws this book seems like the new version of the Outsiders, a book I loved when the team was led by Nightwing&#8230;we will see how this one turns out.</p>
<p>Well that is my list (I was really hoping it would be a bit shorter), what will be on your pull list?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3664" src="http://comigirl.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ww6.jpg" alt="" width="259" height="390" />I really wasn&#8217;t sure what to expect from this issue especially after all the publicity earlier today about  Wonder Woman&#8217;s costume changes, but issue #600 is a great anthology, with amazing stories from Gail Simone (pencils George Perez) , Amanda Conner, Loiuse Simonson (pencils by Geduardo Pansica), and Geoff Johns (pencils Scott Kolins).</p>
<p>The last few pages are a prologue to all the changes facing Diana, which I am going to keep an open mind about. While I hate when they try to create new universes and (in this case) timelines, I know that everything will be reconciled in the end, and I am hoping  it will lead to an updated, yet true version of the princess (which is what J. Michael Straczynski is promising), although I do hope we get the old costume back.</p>
<p>The book also includes pinups from some amazing artist: Adam Hughes, Nicola Scott, Ivan Reis, Guillem March, Greg Horn, Francis Manapul, Phil Jimenez, Jock, and Shane Davis. Out of all the pinups Francis Manapul&#8217;s is my favorite, and he is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists.</p>
<p>Even with all the wonderful artwork I have to admit that my favorite Wonder Woman image of all time still has to be Michael Turner&#8217;s cover to Identity Crisis #4.</p>
<p>All the stories are good, and show a different side to Wonder Woman, but my favorite is Amanda Conner&#8217;s. Lately I love everything she does, and this was no exception. Her artwork is wonderful as always and her story has the same light-heartedness as her and Jimmy Palmiotti&#8217;s Supergirl run on Wednesday Comics.</p>
<p>If you are a Wonder Woman fan this issue is a definitely an issue you should pick up, it even has a introduction by Linda Carter.</p>
