I'm probably being unfair to Animal Man, because I've never read any of his series, but when I first heard about it my reaction was "there are so many other characters who deserve an ongoing more than Animal Man!" =P
I'll prolly keep buying it because I'm a chump. :(
Don't feel bad. I bought all three issues of the recent Oracle and Batgirl mini-series, and they were pretty damn awful. At least this has a SPACE WHALE. =)
