I've got to know. And you knew that if I came here, I'd be right up in the comics forum.
At my place, we seem to be down for:
Demon Knights (Paul Cornell does an Etrigan Team-Up book in the Dark Ages)
Justice League Dark (Peter Milligan does a Constantine Team-Up book in the current DCnU)
Animal Man (Jeff Lemire handles the Animal Man mythos)
Sgt. Rock and the Men of War (Ivan Brandon writes up the new Sgt. Rock as the head of an all-new Easy Company, set up as a private military contractor unit)
I don't have much love for the full-on Geoff Johns GL Lucky Charms mythos, and Superman's never done much for me. I'm thinking of getting Batman, Inc. once it's done (sometime in 2013?) and in trades.

Assuming the Batman Inc books make it through unscathed, I'll probably stick with them. The rest of my DC reading list right now is mostly light-hearted stuff like the current Batgirl series, so if those writers carry on I'll grab their books, too. Everything about this reboot so far is leaving me cold, particularly after I browsed some stuff that's in Flashpoint and thought it was tedious fanwank nonsense.

I'm actually quite excited for Morrison's Socialist Superman even though the timeline makes no sense.
BTW, Flashpoint:Secret Seven appears to be a prologue to Justice League Dark, which actually seems rather promising. I found the appearance of Cyborg in it rather weird though - I know he's a big shot in the new DC universe, but to me he's got the looks and the name of a 80s action figure.

The Flashpoint Frankenstein book is the prologue to Frankenstein, Agent of SHADE, too. The War Rocket Ajax guys were talking it up last episode.

Might pick it up. I picked up a Batgirl comic based on their recommendation - and the information that it featured Squire from Knight and Squire and was basically self contained - and that worked out pretty well.

I am the mythical target of this whole relaunch silliness I guess; I haven't bought comics regularly basically ever despite being an obnoxious fan of Batman in particular and comics more generally. There's probably seven or eight books that I've been sort of interested in based on chatter on Comics Alliance and mefi -- Batman on principle, Action Comics cuz of Morrison and a likeable premise, Batgirl because I'm curious how that's gonna play out, and some of the Darky McVertigo stuff as well though I'll have to review a cribsheet come September to actually remember what.
I've dumped a small pile of cash into back issues of Morrison's Batman and B&R books in the last few weeks, and it's funny because it feels like spending crazy money since I have to poke each issue and say YES BUY THAT FOR $X but all in all the binge has cost me less than my average (infrequent) trip to an actual store, where I'll end up walking out with $100+ of graphic novels.

I'm now sort of toying with blogging all 52.
That's right! The absolute most crazy option!

I bought Justice League #1. I don't recommend it.
