The best DC books to be reading?

**megladon8** · 10-10-2006, 05:27 AM

Let me start by saying that I know this exact same thread is posted by me in Marvel.

Basically, I have way, way too many subscriptions and I need to cut down on what I am buying each month, so that I actually have money for things like food and shelter, which render me able to enjoy the plentiful bounty of books I read.

What are the very best books Marvel is putting out right now, and how far back should I go with each title?

Also, great looking books coming out in the near future?

I'd really appreciate any help I can get.

And I'll also say that goddamn 52 hurts the wallet.

In no particular order:

All Star Superman
Superman
Action Comics
Batman
Detective
Fables

EDIT: Almost forgot Birds of Prey

How far back? I'd say start after the OYL stuff on Bats/Detective. There's some good stuff happening over there right now. For the Superman titles, if I had to read just one, it would be AS, but Action's pretty good right now too...

You might also want to keep JLA. It's a little slow building up, but well written. If you don't like it, I believe it gets a new writer issue #13.

In no particular order:

All-Star Superman
Manhunter
Teen Titans
JSA (coming up but looks good)
Batman
Birds of Prey

It ended but i'll say, pls support the Gotham Central trades.

**Joe Rice** · 10-10-2006, 09:13 AM

All Star Superman is all you really need.

**We R. Venom** · 10-10-2006, 10:00 AM

Green Lantern
Green Lantern Corps.
JLA

Those are definately worth getting.

**Ilash** · 10-10-2006, 10:02 AM

All Star Superman
Green Lantern
Justice League of America
Birds of Prey
Detective

This is excluding Vertigo and Wildstorm

If you're not reading 52 and/or Green Lantern, you're really missing out. Seriously.

All Star Superman
Jonah Hex
and when it hits the racks, The Spirit

**Guts/Batman** · 10-10-2006, 11:20 AM

The best books to be reading for my money are:

All-Star Superman
Manhunter
Firestorm
Birds of Prey
Batman
Jonah Hex
Legends of the Dark Knight

Screw Johns, Winick, Rucka, and Metzer.

**Magneto_X** · 10-10-2006, 11:22 AM

Birds of Prey
Teen Titans
Batman
All-Star Superman
Green Lantern Corps.
Legion of Super-Heroes
Secret Six
Catwoman

I actually realized going through Previews this month that there is very little in DC that I find interesting. It's pretty much down to Teen Titans and 52 for regular reads, with inquiries about other supposedly good mags. Maybe with the return of Mon-El, Legion regain some kind of good.

No one has said it yet??

Checkmate!!!! My new favorite book!

All Star Superman-Pick up all 5 issues.
Jonah Hex-A three issue arc that tells Hex's origin starts next issue(#13) a good jumping on point.
Batman-Pick up issues #655-657 and you'll be caught up.
Detective Comics-With the exception of #821 all the artists haven't been very good, but each issue is a stand alone so feel free to pick up whichever issues you like.

I agree with DubipR that you should pick up The Spirit when it starts.
