[Chiasm]

In regards to Swamp Thing - does anyone know where The Rot came from? Was it introduced in Alan Moore's run, or did Snyder/Lemire come up with it?

I only just read Brightest Day this weekend (if you haven't read it, then suffice it to say its relevant to Swamp Thing) and while "The Rot" wasn't specifically mentioned it did refer to "The Green" a lot which makes me think these are not new concepts.

[Retro315]

I've got to go with;

Batman
Batwoman
Wonder Woman
Animal Man
Swamp Thing

But I'd be remiss not to say that Flash, Aquaman, O.M.A.C., Frankenstein, JL:Dark, I, Vampire and a few others are strong contenders. The key thing is that O.M.A.C. was a top tier book and it got canned. Never going to let that one go.

[Cowtools]

Hard to narrow it down to just five (couldn't imagine saying that a year ago!)
So...

1 - Batwoman
2 - Wonder Woman
3 - Birds Of Prey
4 - Demon Knights
5 - Animal Man

[Paladin King]

Hard to narrow it down to just five (couldn't imagine saying that a year ago!)
So...

1 - Batwoman
2 - Wonder Woman
3 - Birds Of Prey
4 - Demon Knights
5 - Animal Man

Truth.

At this time last year, I was probably only picking up 5-6 titles from DC in total.

[sky dog]

1. Action Comics
2. Batwoman
3. Batman
4. All Star Western
5. Superman

[Alex Decay]

I only just read Brightest Day this weekend (if you haven't read it, then suffice it to say its relevant to Swamp Thing) and while "The Rot" wasn't specifically mentioned it did refer to "The Green" a lot which makes me think these are not new concepts.

I know The Green isn't a new concept, but I'm convinced The Rot is. I've just read all I can (without actually reading) on Alan Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing as well as the original creators' run, and The Rot literally shows up nowhere, in any of the info. Even Abigail Arcane is cited as a telepath/empath, with the Arcane family being evil occultists of a sort, as opposed to minions of The Rot, as they are in Snyder and Paquette's take.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

hmm...my personal Top 5, alphabetical order:

Action Comics
Demon Knights
Frankenstein: Agent of SHADE
I, Vampire
Swamp Thing

That's a lot of Dark... All-Star Western is the only other title I'd consider top 5 status, but that's obviously more than 5. :biggrin:

[SlightlyMad]

1. Swamp Thing
2. Animal Man
3. Action Comics
4. Batman and Robin
5. Suicide Squad

[Raye]

I know The Green isn't a new concept, but I'm convinced The Rot is. I've just read all I can (without actually reading) on Alan Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing as well as the original creators' run, and The Rot literally shows up nowhere, in any of the info. Even Abigail Arcane is cited as a telepath/empath, with the Arcane family being evil occultists of a sort, as opposed to minions of The Rot, as they are in Snyder and Paquette's take.
Both the Green and the Red are pre-existing concepts, the Green in particular actually goes back quite a long time. The Red was created to compliment it, and Buddy's backstory tweaked to incorporate it. But yes, the Rot is new.

Anyway. My top 5, though it's tough to pick... probably fairly predictable/popular choices, but oh well. In no particular order.

-Action Comics
-Wonder Woman
-Swamp Thing
-Animal Man
-All-Star Western

There are a few more that are very close contenders,a nd ask me tomorrow and I may change the list to include them :p

[Volkditty]

Of the ones I'm reading, and in no order...

Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E.
Batman
Wonder Woman
Flash
Birds of Prey

Really upset they're cancelling Blackhawks. I wouldn't put it in my Top 5, but it was really starting to hit its stride with this last issue. I think it would have grown into a pretty good book if they gave it more time.

[Teh m0nk3y]

1. Animal Man
2. Swamp Thing
3. Wonder Woman
4. Justice League: Dark
5. Action Comics

I'm kind of seeing a pattern in my current DC reading list.

Justice League Dark
Batman
Batwoman
Animal Man
Swamp Thing

[Miss Britain]

In order:

1 Batman
2 I, Vampire
3 Swamp Thing
4 Animal Man
5 Batwoman

[hawkflash]

My top 5 would be.
1. Aquaman (finally done right)
2. Justice League (Great interaction between the DC Icons)
3. All Star Western ( Best surprise. Great job of mining long DC western history)
4. Batman and Robin (By far the best Bat book IMO)
5. Green Lantern (Great opening arc)

[gma2darescue]

I always find it amusing when a noob poster comes in and creates a thread that is basically a dupe of so many that have come before.


And still get 5 pages of responses in just a day...very impressive.


Anyways, in no particular order
Batman
Animal Man
Justice League
The Flash
Green Lantern

And since I'm only reading six DC books, Action Comics finishes last.

[Parch]

I'll be snarky and say you need to go to the Vertigo board to find the top 5 DC comics right now.

[Mizel]

Hah, wow this I harder then I thought O_o

1. Red Lanterns…. not sure yet where they’re going with this one, but Im hella excited to find out
2. Green Lantern: New Guardians
3. Swamp Thing… was *not* expecting this to be one of my favs, but Im really enjoying it
4. Batman and Robin… despite my urge to jump into the comic and beat the crap outta that little brat Robin, this one is really good so far
5. Nightwing

Also, Ive been seeing a lot of positive Aquaman reviews, which honestly blows my mind lol Is this one I should at least give a shot?

[mushroom2703]

Batman
Batwoman
Animal man
Swamp thing
Frankenstein

We should get an uber poll going. Can you have 52 options?

[crossbones]

in no order

JUSTICE LEAGUE
BATMAN
AQUAMAN
SWAMP THING
O.M.A.C.

[josh straightedge]

Animal Man and Swamp Thing are neck and neck the best DC books I read.

Followed by Batwoman, Batman and Action.

[Imraith Nimphais]

My top five...

1. Wonder Woman
2. Batwoman
3. Aquaman
4. I, Vampire
5. Batwing

[mudstar]

I always find it amusing when a noob poster comes in and creates a thread that is basically a dupe of so many that have come before.


I always find it amusing when someone on the internet determines another's "coolness" based on how many posts that individual has. Swellin' your ego by bashing others online? Awesome job, dude. Since when did thousands of posts on an internet message board discussing comic books qualify you to put other people down just for posting a simple and, judging from the responses, popular thread? Not all of us are as "cool" as you and aware of everything that has been posted. Ice cold, holmes.

To answer the question (in no particular order)

Animal Man, Swamp Thing, Batwoman, Batman, Frankenstein

[BeastieRunner]

Animal Man
Swamp Thing
Action Comics
Demon Knights
All-Star Western

[DaronK]

Just by give the posts here a quick look it appears that Batman, Batwoman, Animal Man and Swamp thing ARE the best 4 books DC is publishing, with a slight variation on the 5th

[Paladin King]

I'd say that's fair.

Honestly, if there were a metacritic type aggregate reviewer for comics, I'm fairly certain that those would be the top four as far as review scores go.

[Sour Grapes]

Pretty typical I suppose :

1. Animal Man
2. Batman
3. Swamp Thing
4. Wonder Woman
5. Justice League Dark

Very interested in picking up Batwoman and Frankenstein

[DemonsDanceAlone]

In no particular order...

1. Batman
2. Swamp Thing
3. OMAC (So sad to see you go :frown:)
4. Wonder Woman
5. All-Star Western

[liopleurodon]

In order:


Wonder Woman
Animal Man
Swamp Thing
Batwoman
Batman

[PsychoGoatee]

1. Catwoman.
2. Batman
3. Wonder Woman
4. Batgirl
5. Detective Comics

[joedoesstuff]

At the moment, my favorite since the New DC have been:
5. Batwoman/Action Comics
4. Swamp Thing
3. Animal Man
2. Wonder Woman
1. Batman

But Wonder Woman and Batman are close.

[maniacthw]

In no order:

Justice League Dark
DCU Presents: Deadman
Green Lantern
Teen Titans
Blue Beetle.

[Taliesin]

I'll say...

1. Justice League Dark
2. Batman
3. Action Comics
4. The Flash
5. Green Lantern

and Justice League a close 6th. It's hard to pick, really, I like different things about different books.

I notice GL titles and the Flash aren't very popular... I like 'em:redface:. Am I to be ostracized? :biggrin:

[direction9]

Swamp Thing
Animal Man
Action Comics
Wonder Woman
I, Vampire

that was tough, because Batman, Batwoman, All Star Western are all stellar and absolute must reads right now.

[FoxMulder2012]

I'm only reading Batman, Swamp Thing, Animal Man, Action Comics and The Flash. There's a good chance Flash and Animal Man are getting dropped in April in favor of trade waiting in favor of Earth-2, Batman Incorporated and Dial-H.

[Gladiator X]

Tried quite a few but these are the only ones making it past issue #5....

Batwoman
Legion Lost
Legion Of Super-Heroes
Huntress (to be replaced by World's Finest)
Justice League

[ajinkris]

1. Animal Man
2. Batman
3. Swamp Thing
4. Aquaman
5. Batman & Robin

I want to put American Vampire in here too, but it's Vertigo :(

[zvex]

5. Stormwatch - I'm really excited about the upcoming cross over and I consistently enjoy the art.
4. Green Lantern: New Guardians - Best Green Lantern book that isn't 'Green Lantern'
3. Action Comics - I've always loved Superman, but 'Superman' is disappointing every one at the moment. Story just isn't going anywhere. Yet.
2. Justice League - Love, love, love the art. Pretty decent origin story as well. I think everybody reading The New 52 should be reading this.
1. Batman - One of the best Bat arcs I've read in a while. Exciting, creepy and I cannot wait to see what happens next

May be obvious choices, but most of the books are pretty solid

Honourable mention goes to Aquaman

[kryptondude]

out of the 8 i am reading i go with

1. action comics
2. birds of prey
3. justice league
4. Suicide squad
5. Aquaman

The 3 that didnt make the list are batman, flash and red hood, all still very good reads though:smile:
