I picked up Superman #1 and The Savage Hawkman #1 earlier and I have to say I enjoyed them. I didn't think I would enjoy Superman based off of some of the reviews I had seen, but I was pleasantly surprised as it was very enjoyable. Not much really happened in the book, but it was a pretty good standalone issue I thought.
Hawkman I wasn't sure of at all. I haven't read or really even seen the title since the 90's so I have no idea how convoluted it used to be, but I have always loved the look of the character so I figured while I was there, and every other comic I wanted was out of stock, this would be a good starting spot to see if the character was worth getting invested in. I agree with Lock Jaw in that I don't really care for the "suit" coming out through his skin, hated it when Iron Man did it as well, but that's just a minor personal preference. Nothing amazing happened by any means, but it was just simple straightforward storytelling with an interesting battle scene. The issue did it's job, perhaps more so that Superman, it has me anticipating issue #2 and what will happen next.
I was looking into getting a few other books such as Detective Comics, Action Comics, Batman and Green Lantern and all of them were sold out. The guy behind the counter said he had more ordered and they were issuing a second printing for a couple of them and a few were even on a third print. So hopefully this will be a sign of good things to come and not just a sales spike for DC.
