52 reading question
Last year I started to get really behind on my comics so I decided to stop going to comic sites to avoid spoilers. I'm probably going to do a lot of catching up over the next month. One of the comics I most want to catch up on is 52. I've already read half of it, but I was wondering if I'd be missing out on any of the fun of OYL by focusing on finishing up with 52 before catching up with other DCU books.
Would you have rather read 52 first or is it better to read it concurrently with the OYL comics?

52 takes place before and sets up OYL, so keep reading 52

OYL was really a waste. Most of the new books that got started because of it are now either canceled or far beyond not worth reading (look at aquaman) so just stay focus on 52 which is so far beyond awesome in the writing.

Weren't most of the new books coming out of OYL limited series anyway?
Having read 52, I still don't get the big deal about OYL.... all it seemed to do was kill the momentum that Teen Titans had and make Supergirl even more confusing.

No every title went OYL. Some big changes I can think of are:

Here are the only "big" changes that happened in the books I happen to read:
Of course, I didn't pick up any of the miniseries or series that came out of OYL, so I probably missed out on a lot. Anyway, I wasn't too impressed with what changes they made to the titles I read.
