10 Best Comic Book Series of DC

Let's get this out of the way first, so we can talk about this list. It's wrong. A top 10 DC list that does not include the Legion's Great Darkness Saga is wrong. It's difficult to fathom how one could write down such a list. Perhaps it's a joke. Perhaps the person took a blow to the head.

I agree that Dark Knight Returns, Batman: Year One, Watchmen, and Sandman should be on it. All absolutely amazing.

I'm surprised to see The Return of Barry Allen on the list. I love it, but didn't know it was necessarily regarded so highly by others. The introduction of Max Mercury alone is worth it. But also a good story. And I think the difficulties of time travel are handled pretty well.

I haven't read the others, so don't know which of them is the best candidate to lose for the Legion. And I don't care how good Hush is, it's not a better Batman story than the other two.

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
Watchmen
The Sandman
Wonder Woman: The Circle
Superman: Red Son
Green Lantern: Blackest Night
Batman: Year One
The Flash: The Return of Barry Allen
The Authority
Batman: Hush

I've not read the Wonder Woman.
I would swap Grant Morrison's All Star Superman for Ted Son.
I agree on the LSH needing to be on here.
Morrison's Doom Patrol and Animal Man are missing.

Yeah, All-Star Superman is kinda excellent!

I never read Doom Patrol or Animal Man regularly, but what I saw was great.

Any Grant Morrison is excellent.
His JLA was cosmic scale stuff.
His Batman embraced all their weird stuff.
His Batman Inc. Is a favorite.

I'm only a casual DC comic reader.

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns is awesome though.

Kingdom Come was fantastic.


And anything with Catwoman by Jim Balent. 8O :D

Can't imagine how difficult it would be to run and fight in that outfit, but I would sure like to watch her try.

Kingdom Come for sure.

Is Golden Age the one going on right now?
