DC Universe Classics - what do you think?

Michael Crawford has posted his review of the first wave of DC Universe Classics. I should be receiving my case from Cornerstorecomics.

I’ll freely admit, while I had a Batman period when the movie came out in 1989, I was never really that into the comics (until recently). I did have a pretty significant Marvel period around the same time, but DC comics were probably, on the whole, a bit too mature for me then. This is certainly not the first time a toy line has gotten me interested in a licensed property, rather than the reverse.

Over on Action Figure Insider, Toy Otter wonders whether DC Universe Classics is the true successor to Kenner’s 1980s Super Powers Line. I know what I think…but I’m curious, what are your thoughts on the line? It’s a bit under-articulated for many Marvel Legends fans, while the Horsemen’s unique style puts off some DC Direct collectors.

What are your thoughts? Could this be, as Michael Crawford suggests in his review, the best line of the year?
