what's your personal favorite dc comic ever?

52

Crisis on Infinite Earths will always hit a very sweet spot for me. There are better stories that have been published by DC looking specifically at the DC Comics imprint here, but CoIE captures so much about the universe and the unbridled scale and scope that comics can offer.

Really hard to pick one, but off the top of my head:
- Denny O'Neil and Denys Cowan The Question.
- Palmiotti and Gray's Jonah Hex.
- Ennis' and McCrea's Hitman.
- Pratt's Enemy Ace: War Idyll (and Enemy Ace in general).
- Jack Kirby's OMAC.

First arc to come to mind is LoSH's Universo Project so I guess that's my favorite. Superman Beyond 3D is up there too.

New Frontier is nice

Tossup between Starman and Jonah Hex

All of these except Enemy Ace, never read that. Also Moore and Bissette Swamp Thing.

...

...

Morrison's Doom Patrol.

L.E.G.I.O.N. It may not be the most well-written comic ever and it's certainly not the prettiest, but it's one of those comics that's just easy to pick up an issue of and read whenever.

DnA Legion Lost is a close second though.

Gotta be New Frontier babeeee

Probably 52.

I have a real soft spot for the following though:
The Spirit (2002 by Darwyn Cooke)
Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader (Gaiman)
The Question (O'Neil)
Serious House on Serious Earth (Morrison)

If you include Vertigo it gets more complicated too.

All Star Superman.
Runners up are Morrison's JLA, Morrison's Flash, Robinson's Starman, and Snyder's Swamp Thing.

LOTDK

is that fucking WATTO from the phantom menace in the bottom left corner?

Kingdom Come
also Lucifer if it counts

...

Superman For All Seasons
All Star Superman
Morrison's Animal Man

Green Lantern is my favorite franchise all together, but my favorite book bar none, is Moore's Swamp Thing.

-Tom Kings Omega men

-Tomasis current superman may make the list

Never cared for Morrison's books, outside of batman & Robin. ALL STAR. superman was okay , hated final crisis ,and JLA run was meh .

I can't pick just one, and I'll likely leave something out that I can't remember at the moment.

Final Crisis
Kingdom Come
Lucifer it counts
Sandman
Flex Mentallo
Sinestro Corps War
GL: Darkseid War single issue

>hated final crisis

Best thing DC ever published:
Justice Inc. By Kyle Baker and Andrew Helfer - twisted spy story with Baker in his spooky pastel textures phase

Best DC universe comic:
Either Twilight by Howard Chaykin and Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez (epic mini about DC's old sci-fi characters, feels more like a franco-belgian sci-fi comic) or Jonah Hex in The Last Bounty Hunter by Michael Fleisher and Russ Heath (the pre-crisis story of Hex's death, but it's more about what happens to his corpse after he dies)

...

For my list Imprints don't count unless it began as a main DC title

Moore's Swamp Thing with Bissette, Veitch, and Totleben
JLI by Giffen, DeMattei, and Maguire
5 Years Later LOSH by Giffen
All Star Superman by Morrison and Quietly
DKR by Frank Miller
Orion by Walt Simonson
New Gods by Jack Kirby
The Question by Denny O'Neil and Denys Cowan
Shade the Changing Man by Peter Milligan and Chris Bachalo
The Man of Steel by John Byrne

The Dark Knight Returns

Followed by Preacher.

Preacher and if that doesn't count it's either 52 or Morrison animal man

52 for best event/single title.
Johns' GL cause it was what got me wanting to read and keep up with ongoing DC and lead me to getting really into DC comics and heavy comic reading in general. Also cause it's a great run.

Ostrander had such a Midas Touch, shame he couldn't use some of that magic to make his checking account gold.
