Stan Lee Boom Titles

I was wondering what everyones general thoughts are on these titles now that we are a few months in. I just sat down and read the first 6 or 7 issues of each series and overall I am enjoying them.
Traveler - While I originally liked this series I feel it is not really going in a direction that I enjoy. I though the first few issues really worked but this latest storyline with the space prison (Irredeemable anyone??) I though was pretty weak. I`m a big fan of Mark Waid but I`m not sure this series is really working for me.
Soldier Zero - I wasn`t a fan of this series at all at the beginning as I found the dialogue to be a little cliche. As well the whole I`m stuck in a wheelchair thing don`t feel sorry for me just didn`t work. But as we`ve gotten further away from that I feel the story has really picked up. Definitely my favorite of the three.
Starborn - I think this is a fun series especially with the recent twist even though I saw it a mile away. Out of the three it seems to be the most light hearted. It will be interesting to see where the series goes from here.
Also I believe that in July all these characters are crossing over into each others books so obviously there is a bigger picture to this universe. I did notice that Soldier Zero and The Traveler are connected as they have both featured the Split Second Men. I will probably give these titles at least 12 issues each before deciding if I want to continue with them.
