What's the best DC run since nu52 started?
>>81382386
Green Lantern
Dial H
>>81382418
That's not Dial H
>>81382418
What? You mean the end of John's stuff? I heard post Johns Lantern is shit.
top five runs imo?
1. Dial H by China Mieville
2. Action Comics by Grant Morrison
3. Wonder Woman by Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang
4. Swamp Thing by Charles Soule
5. Green Arrow by Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino
I don't count Multiversity because its really its own entity
runner ups would prob be justice league and batman
The first year was pretty awesome. Morrison on Action, Swamp Thing, Animal Man, Earth Two when it was good. And those all came out the same week.
>>81382840
FIRST WEEK
BEST WEEK

>mfw I remember this
There are so few monthly series I follow now.
>>81382868
>>81382840
>>81382937
tfw only ever looked forward to 1st and 4th week
>>81382937
Last year third week was best week for a little bit.
Don't know what it is now, partially due to delays
>>81382386
Dial H.
>>81382937
>There are so few monthly series I follow now.
Remember when comics were good? Remember when cartoons were interesting? Remember when /co/ was love?
>>81383060
Remember when we weren't jaded, cynical fucks?
>>81382386
I, Vampire
Demon Knights
>>81382386
Dial H and Omega Men, accept no substitutes
Dial H is crappy through trades/torrents. It only really works on a monthly basis. The ending is rushed, and there are other flaws to it that are much more obvious when you read it in one go.
>>81383121
Those were the times.
>>81383141
>Demon Knights
Damn I forgot how cool that book was. Thanks for reminding me.
I've never seen this much love for Dial H in one thread. Can you guys give a short summary on why you love it?
>>81382868
>don't have that image with Jay, Swamp-Thing, Animal-Man and others with First Week Best Week sprawled out across anymore
I really want to hope that Rebirth pulls DC out of the cultural irrelevance gutter beyond "dude batman lmao!!XD", I really do. As someone who grew up DC, but loves other publishers on their own merits, it hurts me to see them like this
>>81384809
It played a campy silver age concept straight without shitting all over the idea. Inventive heroes, intriguing world building, and Nelson and Roxy were pretty decent protagonists.
Also, Open-Window Man.
Scary gay Batman
Curse of Shazam
Wonder Woman by azz
Action Comics by Morrison
GL by Cereal King
Batman when Snyder isn't writing fanfiction about his OTP
Grayson
Robin sob
>Animal Man
>Swamp Thing (consistently best)
>Wonder Woman
Those 3 were the best, I'd add Omega Men to that list as well.
>>81383141
>I Vampire
>Swamp Thing
>Animal Man
Man DC had some great fucking horror comics at the start. Hoping the Vertigo Rebirth follows through on what this started.
Midnighter, easily. Grayson, Batman & Robin, and Dial H too.
>>81382507
Don't know who told you that but for the most part Johns' writing is pretty strong. To the point where even as not a fan of Green Lantern or Aquaman I'll still read them as written by him.
>>81382622
>>81382840
Definitely agree on Action (best read as the three trades), haven't tried Dial H but willing to, especially since it appears a bunch of folks here are all suggesting it (unless it's all the same anon).
I liked stuff in GA, don't remember when I got lost and uninterested with it, so it may be a writer thing, but I remember the interest didn't last long.
Frankenstein Agents of SHADE was pretty good, I read the trade not the single issues.
I've just been reading Justice League Dark via trades, the Books of Magic stuff is pretty good, they start to lose my interest immediately after that with the Doc Destiny story line.

Fuck me I was just looking through my library trying to find that picture too.
>>81384809
It's a take on overarching concepts of heroes that has nothing to do with Grant Morrison, who normally dominates that particular conversation in the DCU. It's fresh, unpredictable and features a great couple of protagonists that keep you invested in the story even when it really starts to wander and get a little disjointed near the end where it gets rushed by the cancellation deadline.
>>81382386
Oh man, this picture.
Remember when they solved this problem by giving Wally to Venditti and Donna to Finch? God damn they hate those characters.
>>81382386
This image makes me want to vomit
I've seen rooftop sex scenes in so many comics
Starfire was always sexual
Liefiled is not an insult
Aquaman was written faithfully
Azz's run on WW was good
Valentine's run on Catwoman was good
>>81390463
>Liefiled is not an insult
It is when he single handedly tanked 4 books in a row at the beginning of the Nu52.
>>81382386
Swamp Thing and Animal Man
>Fight me!
>>81383984
>He will never be young again
>>81382386
Valentine's Catwoman run was my favorite.
Midnighter and Grayson have been good but highly overrated.
Most stuff has just been ok, not bad but not great.
>>81383984
Hands down best Vandal Savage ever!
>>81390694
>Demon Knights and DnD have both been ended for years now
>have nowhere to go for my swords 'n sorcery fix with a lovable band of fuckups
Not a run but i really liked Thunderworld Adventures.
>>81390968
The Convergence mini was pretty great as well.
>>81390851
No loveable band of fuckups, but check out Simonsons' Ragnarok, issue 8 just came out this past wednesday
>>81383060
>>81383121

>why did we have to grow up
>why do things have to change
Just get another hobby for christ sake
>>81390224
>Frankenstein Agents of SHADE
man, that started so strong, and then fell apart when Jeff had to smash a whole story arc into two issues before the tie-in to Rotworld, and then was cancelled probably because of sales
>>81391472
And was a pure fight scene all the way through.
Snyder's Batman.
>>81390968
Of all of Multiversity Thunderworld Adventuress is the title I would love to see become an ongoing or at least a full mini/maxi series
>>81383141
>I, Vampire
Glad this one was named. Ending arc was kind of shitty due to them trying to ram in every plot point possible, but it was pretty good run.
>>81383000
Was Fourth Week when Aquaman, Flash, and Deathstroke would all come out on the same day? Because that was always a good day for me.
>>81390851
You could always readDungeon Meshi
>>81392161
Get your sigils and start jacking off /co/
Maybe Grant will hear us out in the multiverse
>>81382418
>>81382507
once john leaves it becomes so terrible ive read gl for years but have stopped now
>>81382386
I choose Swampy.
But >>81382457 is second place.
>>81397433
Whoops, forgot Wondy and Shazam.
>>81386441
>My nigga
>That fucking amazing combo of Animal Man horror art and the beautiful plant based Swamp Thing art every month up until Rot World
Those were some fucking amazing times
>>81397687
This was a pretty awful version of Billy - there didn't seem to be any basis for the wizard picking him out of any number of other drones he checked out.
>>81398475
I wouldn't say awful, just different. The wizard picked him out cuz of some of the good things he did in the past (Like helping that little girl run away from presumed abusive foster parents), and he was desperate since Black Adam reawakened.
>>81397814
Rotworld may have been stretched out, but both books went back to great quality after the event.
>>81382386
Animal Man
Snyder/Soule Swamp Thang
Azz's Wonder Woman
I actually loved Red Hood & The Outlaws up until DOTF
That being said I think Azz's WW run is by far the best to come out of the Nu52
The issue with the New 52 is that the only good books are creator (mainly writer) driven, rather than having short stories and single issues from a variety of creators showcasing different storytelling and writing styles, something that has always made comics a strong monthly medium. Almost all the books worth reading are more worth trade waiting, which is a bad way to sell comics month to month
I think the best books are Dial H, Morrison/Burnham Batman Inc, Morrison Action, Azz Wonder Woman, SeeKing Grayson, Midnighter,
The best book that achieves any sort of multiple writer cohesion is Swamp Thing.
