[Jim Lahey]

Just read Superman and Batman books

Action
Detective
Batman
Batman INC
Batman & Robin
Superman

[Mr. Holmes]

Action Comics, Detective Comics, The Flash, and Batgirl are the best so far in my opinion. Batman Inc is Morrison greatness, but it's getting delayed a lot. Not reading Thunder agents, but i hear it is good.

[IronMagnus]

--> Batgirl

[MattyB]

Currently: Action comics, Superboy and Green Lantern. Also some pretty good Bat-books.

[TonyStark1012]

Green Arrow, Red Robin, JSA, Action Comics, Detective, Batman and Robin, Green Lantern to name a few.

[Hulk_Is]

Secret Six is the best comic on the stands from any company. I still maintain this stance even only after reading 3 or 4 issues from last year. Maybe the quality has changed, but if it hasn't, then great.

[finfangfool]

IMO:
Secret Six
Rebels
Red Robin
Green Lantern Corps
Power Girl
Justice League: Generation Lost
Booster Gold

I can't even begin to tell you how sick I am of all of the green lantern stuff out, but Emerald Warriors is a solid book. I hate the current state of Batman, but I begrudgingly admit that Batman Inc has started well. Justice League:Generation Lost is good, as is Booster Gold. The Flash is always worth a read, too.

[HaroldAllnut]

It's a bummer to see that no one has yet mentioned Jonah Hex. It's DC's most consistently well-produced (both in terms of writing and art) book. Even if you don't like Westerns (I initially didn't), it's most definitely worth a look. The series is almost entirely comprised of done-in-one stories about a grizzled, badass bounty hunter named Jonah Hex. That's all you need to know, and you can jump on at any issue throughout the series. What's there not to love? Go check out Jonah Hex. You'll dig it.

Power girl. The first real comic book series that i got into. Im sure there are better comics, but ive enjoyed reading all the issues so far.

[Flashpoint]

I love all the books I buy, but here are my absolute favorites...

*Teen Titans
*Legion Of Super-Heroes
*Green Lantern
*Green Arrow
*The Flash
*Brightest Day

[Gameophile]

Green Lantern :tongue:

It's the only one I've read so far, will be reading JLA though after Green Lantern as that looks good

[Lord Bravery]

Secret Six is the best comic on the stands from any company. I still maintain this stance even only after reading 3 or 4 issues from last year. Maybe the quality has changed, but if it hasn't, then great.

Hmm how can you say such a thing if you have only read 4 issues from last year?

Although yes, S-6 is awesome.

[Hulk_Is]

Hey, it is what it is. I read them and it was the best comic book series I ever read. I've read other series for much longer obviously, but S6 stands out to me as being the best I've ever tried. REBELS was a one of the best series I've ever read after reading just 3 or 4 issues of that last year too. And, from previews I've read, Jonah Hex looks to be up there too.

[Skeets]

Current best by a mile = Generation Lost.

Does Jonah Hex count? If not;
-Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors
-Birds of Prey
-Batman Inc.

Fair enough. I don't disagree with you, they are both awesome.

Out of interest, what issues did you manage to read?

[Hulk_Is]

Fair enough. I don't disagree with you, they are both awesome.

The S6 issues were during 'The Depths' (or The Deep?) and the REBELS issues were, like, issues 1-3 or 4.

[NotSuper]

Green Lantern, the Morrison written Batman books, Action Comics, and LoSH.

[the4thpip]

Secret Six
Legion of Super-Heroes
Adventure Comics


and I have high hopes for Xombi.

[jason_w]

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents
Brightest Day

[gwydion]

Power Girl
Justice League: Generation Lost
REBELS

[Kunoichi]

Secret Six, Action Comics, and Green Lantern for me.

[SeritoNiN]

Green Lantern, Sweet Tooth, Superboy, and Thunder agents. (Enjoy thunder agents now, spencer just signed exclusive with Marvel meaning the series will get a new creative team for 6 issues and then be canceled in typical DC fashion)

[El Sombrero]

Detective Comics is the only one right now that I would call a clear-cut great comic with no issues holding it back.

Batman Inc and Flash are close. I expect Batwoman and Xombi to be there once those come out. Some other titles that I don't buy on a regular basis, but they're good: Action Comics, Generation Lost, Batgirl. I like Brightest Day but don't really count that since the different stories vary in quality and it's done in a few issues anyway.

[Christopher Cross Is God]

Batman Inc
Zatanna

[elbobbo]

Secret Six
Batgirl
T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents

All the Batman books I read are good but I wouldn't consider any great. Inc is well written but they idea leaves me a little cold, Detective is too early in it's new direction to tell, ditto Red Robin and B&R and Tony Daniels is still finding his voice as a writer so Batman is uneven yet

[shadowman79]

wonder woman detective super boy

[Shazam]

Secret Six

Wonder Woman

[Action Ace]

my current DC top 10

1. Batman Inc.
2. Flash
3. Green Lantern
4. Tiny Titans
5. Brightest Day
6. Superboy
7. All-New Batman and the Brave & the Bold
8. Action Comics
9. DC Universe Online Legends
10. Red Robin

[Desaad]

At the moment?

In no particular order...Batman Inc, Action Comics, Detective Comics, THUNDER Agents, Doom Patrol, Batgirl, Secret Six, Power Girl, Generation Lost, Legion of Superheroes/Adventure Comics, Jimmy Olsen backup/special, and Knight and Squire.

I've heard very good things about David Hine's work on "Azrael" as well.

[SpideyCzar]

Brightest Day & Batman Inc

Because, those are the only DC titles I haven't dropped

[Ari Gold]

Best of the best, in my opinion:
Morrison Batman
Detective Comics
Batgirl
Superboy
THUNDER Agents
Action Comics
LEGION books (Adventure Comics & Legion of Supe-Heroes)

EDIT:
Including Vertigo:
Scalped
Sweet Tooth
Unwritten

[Professor Arkham]

Green Lantern, Sweet Tooth, Superboy, and Thunder agents. (Enjoy thunder agents now, spencer just signed exclusive with Marvel meaning the series will get a new creative team for 6 issues and then be canceled in typical DC fashion)

Spencer has already said he is not leaving THUNDER Agents despite being Marvel exclusive. In fact, none of his current work appears to be stopping, so I assume the Marvel exclusivity only applies to new work.

[thinbalion]

Action Comics
Detective Comics
Batman Inc.
Batgirl
T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents

If we're counting Vertigo:

Scalped

Batgirl
Batman Inc.
Batman & Robin
Red Robin
Doom Patrol

So much goodness on DC right now, but to be fair I'm going to cite the worst too:

In some sort of rough order, my Top 10 is:

Batman Inc
Brightest Day
Teen Titans
Green Lantern
Action Comics
Batgirl

And as soon as Batwoman (re)starts, I expect it to go straight back to numero uno.

[Skib]

Detective Comics - Jock & Snyder are absolutely amazing!

I do not comprehend the love for Batman Inc. I thought the first 2 issues were so-so.

Other favorites:
The Flash
Batman
Secret Six
Sweet Tooth

[Perfection/Emma 2]

Birds of Prey

TITANS

Green Lantern "When it features Star Sapphire".

[teambff]

Detective Comics - Jock & Snyder are absolutely amazing!

amazing 2 issues.
favorite part is when they arrive in japan and catwoman is looking at a poster and book for tentacle rape hentai and then later she gets stuck in a tank of water with a giant octopus tentacle monster and the end picture of her was hilarious... cmon to capture a scene like that in a comic the way they did it was priceless.

the absurd over the top villain... batman channelling the coolnesss of james bond.

action, comedy, funk, style.... art.. japan.

what's not to love.

[Wulfmir]

Current Favorites

Green Lantern
The Flash
Brightest Day
Detective Comics
Justice League Generation Lost

I pull more but these titles are the ones that consistently entertain me.

Absolutely. It's the most fun I've had with any particular title in years. :cool:

Whereas I really (really!) don't like Jock's artwork and would have been picking up Detective with a different artist on board. So each to their own, huh?

[dupersuper]

My favourites, because I'm always right.

[Cowtools]

My favourite DC titles at the moment, in no order:
- Birds Of Prey
- Batgirl
- Batman Inc
- Detective
- Zatanna
- Action
- Teen Titans
- Wonder Woman

Of these, only Wonder Woman is something I wouldn't heartily recommend to anyone. But that's more about where this run started then where it's going, which is actually promising.

Of these, I reckon Cornell's Action, Snyder's Detective and Batman Inc will be remembered as modern classics, while Miller's Batgirl will be remembered with fanatical fondness by the small cult that read it (ala Young Justice).

Teen Titans is on the upswing, so fingers-crossed, and Zatanna is the best pseudo-Vertigo series set in the main DCU since Swamp Thing. It needs more love.

I also buy the odd Red Robin issue for Cass Cain or Batgirl appearences, and I borrow the new Superboy off a friend. I'll trade wait those.

So, yeah, I'm pretty happy with my DC books at the moment.

[JonQCitizen]

I love reading Green Arrow & Superman/Batman. Green Arrow has been great since they "rebooted" following Blackest Night, with JT Krul doing wonderful writing to completely change the direction and tone of the character...... Superman/Batman has fallen off the radar since Jeph Loeb left, but still has great writing, good artwork and very good stories. I know it's out-of-continuity, but a good story is a good story.

[Batfan71]

My faves:
1) Batman Inc.
2) American Vampire
3) Green Lantern
4) Legion of Superheroes
5) Batman: The Dark Knight

[Lynch]

IMO the best DC books right now are-

Green Lantern
Brightest Day
Weird Worlds
The FLash

In no particular order.
