It's coming up on 5 years.
Which comic has had the overall best run since the re numbering began?
>>81722959
Aquaman only had one poor arc. So probably that imo.
Batman.
Swamp Thing at a close second.
>>81723025
Lmfao, good one
I know which one has been the WORST
>>81723101
Did Tec got even worse with Tomasi?
>>81723025
This.
The weakest arc in Snyder's Batman (kek, that's too strange a coincidence) was Death of the Family but that was made up by the Joker arc that led up to issue 30.
Court of Owls and Zero Year were God Tier arcs.
Yeah, the occasional filler comics with that purple haired Harper bitch suck, but they're few and far between.
>>81723197
>>81723101
The problem with the new 52 Detective Comics is it has no idea what kind of Batman comic it wants to be.
Default Batman is your go-to "I'm Batman" good stuff. Dark and mysterious with plenty of detective work but also good action and suspense.
Batman and Robin is more of the same, only featuring Robin, and a nice sense of compassion involved. The Damion death really should have been in this series, but either way it's a solid comic.
The Dark Knight is the world-building greater DC universe Batman comic, where bats has to constantly team up with other heroes.
Then you have Detective Comics, which STILL hasn't figured out what it wants to be to differentiate itself from the others. No matter how many creative teams it goes through, the problem persists.
It's a shame really, as this is the core original batman comic.
>>81723202
Are you even fucking serious? Granted, court of owls was great, but between the joker arc and the harper bitch fillers, like half of the first five years were shit.
By that tone, Wonder woman had it better because Azzarello wrote it for the first 3 years.
>>81723202
40.
I meant issue 40
Can we stop pretending the entire owls saga was equally great?
Yes, the first 7 were phenominal and a great start to the soft reboot, but as soon as it gets into the "NOW GO DECLARE WAR ON GOTHAM" shit it falls off a cliff.
The court is conveniently taken out off panel, and not even by batman.
And Don't even get me started on Bruce's "brother". What a plain and cringed finale to what what otherwise intricate and interesting.
>>81723378
There's really only like 4 Harper comics, and one of them isn't even bad
>>81723376
Rebirth Tec may treat but not cure that problem by having a supporting cast that is almost completely different from Tom King's Batman (Rebirth).
>>81723202
>Zero Year
Shitty Version of Year One can go fuck itself.
>>81723376
Damian's death was rushed and horribly handled.
I remember reading "Batman" and air finished the Death of the Family arc and was pissed because it went absolutely nowhere.
Then I got to issue 19 and was even more pissed.
More Harper shit.
I swear to God this has to be the most annoying forcibly injected SJW character in the history of DC.
Anyway, I finished the comic and was just dumbfounded.
"So wait, is Robin and dead?"
>decided to catch up on Batman and Robin.
Same shit, one comic he's fine, the next is batman just throwing a fit and breaking shit.
>Google it.
>Find out he dies in BATMAN INCORPORATED
Whose fucking idea was this?
What a fumble.
>>81722959
Green Lantern had 25 issues in a row worth reading.
That's more than I can say for any other post-Flashpoint book.
>>81723202
>Court of Owls and Zero Year were God Tier arcs.
Holy shit, there are people that actually believe this. I guess shouldn't be surprised, since there are "people" that actually like Hush but still, fucking Zero Year holy shit.
Batman and Robin (40/40), Action (44/50).
>>81723829
>21-25
>worth reading
>>81723821
Damian was Morrison's character, his death was planned from the start of the Batman Inc title pre-new 52, I'm sorry you weren't reading the best Batman title.
>>81723025
>Swamp Thing
Started out surprisingly excellent but I dropped it when they decided to make it impossible to follow what the fuck was going on unless you were also reading Animal Man.
I hate shit like that.
You can reference other comics, but don't make reading other ones imperative to understanding the plot.
>>81723909
>Batman and Robin (40/40)
Correct answer! Except for that fucking Frankenstein issue, fuck that comic.
>>81723930
First, it was telegraphed in both books from the start that they were companions
Second, you should have picked it up again after Soule started
What went wrong with all the Leigon of Super Hero related books?
Also Deathstroke before Lifeld took over was great.
>>81723966
It's too late now.
I can only buy 1st prints, I'm autistic about it, and doing so would require me to buy a big lot of comics for like 200 bucks.
>a thread actually discussing DC comics and their quality
Is this bizarro /co/?
>>81724028
Jesus christ man
(Also I'm guessing Midtown has them for less than cover price)
>>81724028
>being too poor to properly and righteously indulge in your hobby
Kill yourself.
One of my ikea shelves alone is filled with $5000 of shit.
>>81724028
>not using your tax return money to buy 30+ first print near mint comics at once
>>81724005
Levitz has done the Legion for too long, and they really should have gotten fresh blood for the series (which they didn't even reboot again)
Born to Kill was a really great arc.
>>81723930
>dropping it before the god level quality
Top dumb
>>81722959
Wonder Woman, before the Finches came on board.
I enjoyed all of red lanterns just because it was nice for them to get a book.
Also someone needs to die for there not being anymore cool GLs like the one in Threshold.
There needs to be more Threshold like comics period in this shitty line up.
Voodoo
>>81724158
He's a collector, of course he's a top dumbass
>>81724080
>Midtown Comics
You mean ItemIsNotCureentlyInStockPlaceOnWishList.com?
>>81724218
It fell off at the end
So I want to pick back up where I left off.
I made it to Batman #20ish and want to catch up.
Is there any way for me to get 1st prints without buying a huge fucking lot of comics from an eBay seller for like $300?
What are we on like issue 51?
>>81724110
I was in college.
I needed the money.
Comics are expensive man.
Are we only counting books that began at the start of the nu52, and went for a substantial amount of time? Or any series within the nu52? If the latter, then my choice is pic related.
>>81724371
The Man of Steel ad ruins it
>>81724371
If it's the latter my choice is Grayson.
I still have to read Dial H, the deluxe is on my unread section of my shelf. I've heard nothing but amazing things so I've been saving it for a rainy day.
Demon Knights, Sword of Sorcery, Wonder Woman (excellent comic but not a good WW story imo), Grayson and Midnighter are my personal favourites, though there is a lot I haven't read. Most of the good shit from the New52 didn't last long because either DC cancelled it or the creative team left due to shitty management.
>>81724405
>>81722959
Supergirl is up there.
40 issues and it never got truly horrible. Kinda dragged for a bit during the Superman crossover parts, but Red Daughter of Krypton and Crucible were especially good.
>>81723884
I loved FCO on it. He's the best part of that book.
>>81723930
>the rot literally takes over the world
I have a hard time believing between supes and Flash they would get away with that, with or without swampy's help
>>81723202
>Implying Endgame was good
>>81724422
Its raining right now. Get to it, faggit.
So it sounds like a lot of them ended at 40.
That's too bad.
>>81724319
Nobody buys comics anymore
>>81724632
Yeah that's when DCYou started so they cancelled like 20 books to make room for new stuff. At least half of those were 35+ issues
Was the New 52 a failure?
>>81724762
Sales went up and are still up from what they were before New 52, so no
>>81724824
I don't think they went up enough to make up for the financial woes they have experienced since moving from coast to coast
>>81724824
Then why is DC Rebirth a thing?
>>81724946
CW2 is going to rape them
>>81724946
>>81724940
DCyou was a failure.
They should have never done DC You.
