    Fun thread

    NEW 52
    Nightwing (even if you don't include Grayson)
    Justice League
    Green Arrow (only liked Lemire's run but it was better than Rebirth)

    REBIRTH
    Batman
    Detective Comics
    Flash
    Aquaman (this is incredibly close, both series are standouts from their era)
    Wonder Woman

    Most of my favourites from the N52/DCYou are the less popular series. Batwing, Demon Knights, Omega Men, I Vampire etc. I'd say N52 definitely beat Rebirth in those types of series (although I've liked Deadman: Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love and Mystik U in the Rebirth era.)
    Current Pull: Lazarus, The Realm, Seven to Eternity, Aquaman, Flash, Justice League Dark, Justice League Odyssey, Sideways, Black Panther, Captain America, Daredevil, Death of the Inhumans.

    Future Pull: Killmonger.

    New 52: I literally stopped reading DC Comics and comics in general from 2011 to 2014 because of it. I started again in 2014 when it felt like Snyder had gotten enough power to allow people like Tynion, Seeley, and King bring back the things I lost with the n52.
    Batman Eternal/Batman and Robin Eternal
    Batgirl from Future's End to 52
    Grayson
    Catwoman from 35-46 (Valentine's run)
    Wonder Woman

    Rebirth: I feel like it started brilliantly, though like many large endeavors, it's collapsing a bit under the weight of accumulated deviations from plan. I hope that May and June represent a new wave of creators/new creative assignments telling solid stories in the Rebirth tradition.
    Tec - artistically, Tec has been better than the Eternals, because it's only twice and not four or five times a month. Writing has been solid, but we're just now approaching the "endgame" so we'll have to wait and see if Tynion can pull of a stronger ending, always a bit of a weakness for him.
    Batgirl and the Birds of Prey - I loathed both Simone's run and the Burnside run, with the exceptions of when Steph was a major character. I'm not sure if that was character partiality, or if the book actually was better. The current Birds of Prey run is around the same level of plotting and characterization as the Burnside run, but I like the characters chosen much better, and the Bensons clearly love the history of these characters way more than any other team since Simone.
    Nightwing - I think Grayson was better because Seeley and King pulled the best from each other. And as a "casual" Dick Grayson fan I found the scenario much more interesting than others. But that's similar to the next book...
    Batman since I Am Suicide - I like King and Valentine's Selina's equally. They're both clearly people who struggle with responsibility in a very dark world. Both Valentine and King fall down frequently on the plot end - King, I think, because he's not suited for a twice a month schedule, Valentine because I think she was rushed in her ending (I think she was hoping for another at least one, if not two issues.) The art on both has been quite inconsistent - I adore Garry Brown's first arc for Valentine, but Messina, while not bad, was much less polished in figure work and consistency. I'm not a big Finch fan, and I think Janin's work on Batman has been much too rushed (backgrounds and detail have really been lacking on a lot of issues, though thankfully not so far in Everyone Loves Ivy).
    Wonder Woman - Azzarrello's run is one of the things I hate most about the n52 (tied with the erasure of Steph and Cass). Evil Amazons, destruction of the clay origin, and Diana becoming a supporting character in her own book (who ends it by becoming a trickster instead of a passionate and loving diplomat/warrior). Everything about it, I hate. So much so that I actually don't hate the Finch run nearly as much, even though it's likely much dumber. Rucka's run was amazing. Not quite as powerful as his first three years (which I'm still irritated that DC hasn't released the third volume of), but with the benefit of Nicola Scott and Bilquis Evely - one a longtime favorite artist for over 10 years, one a brand new talent who is truly phenomenal. Liam Sharp is also extremely good, though I don't like the way he draws faces nearly as much.

    The only thing's Nu52 did better than Rebirth were RSOB, Grayson, Batman, Midnighter and B&R. 4 of which have no equivalent in Rebirth and were really solid titles.
    Very sad to see them go.
