I read every one of the Sneak Peeks for the upcoming June titles that DC Comics posted this week.

STARFIRE: She's taking advice on a new place to live and it's a job for Superman. She's off to Key West! This looks like it could be a series like the original Kon-El Superboy from the 1990s. The art was good and if I had any interest in picking up a Starfire comic, this might do the trick.
DETECTIVE: Batman's been replaced AGAIN, but this replacement looks like a good choice and is a new one. I'm always up for the Bullock and Montoya show. It's the same creative team I enjoyed before, so I'll keep this one on the pull list.
SECTION EIGHT: This was...not for me.
PREZ: This maxiseries was a close miss as the central character gets a bit lost in everything going on around her. Lots of plots and mystery and a look at the future. It's a daft idea, but you can get some good comics out of that.
MIDNIGHTER: I thought the art was really good. The preview gave a good introduction to the character. That said, I won't be going anywhere near this comic.
DOOMED: It was nice to see the Alpha Centurion one more time. It was a well done introduction and I do like this type of story. However, this was another close miss as I have no confidence in Scott Lobdell over the long term to tell a good story.
GREEN LANTERN: I swear I saw this exact same story in an episode of Walker: Texas Ranger. Billy Tan is slowly getting better. I'll keep it on the pull list, but not with much enthusiasm for now.
THE OMEGA MEN: 9 Panel Grid! That was an "interesting" choice for a preview story. I don't think they killed Kyle though. No sale.
RED HOOD/ ARSENAL: I got through the preview without trying to swallow a bottle of Clorox. I'm not tempting fate again.
GREEN ARROW: Patrick Zircher is still in fine form. Ollie takes a few weeks off to play Peter Fonda. This didn't seem to be a good preview for what's to come, but I don't follow the character at all.
scorecard
10 previews
2 sales: Detective Comics and Green Lantern
Not a good start, let;s see if Week 2 is any better.
