    Superman/Batman is by far my favorite DC comic series. I hate how Jeph Loeb's run was so popular because the later stories were even more insane.

    How did you guess??
    Have every issue of Flash since #105 (Barry's first run) and am a Flash nut.

    And who doesn't love the fourth Doctor??

    You like a lot of the same stuff as I do Jekyll. In particular, Johns' JSA and GL, Robinson's Starman. And Jay Garrick is one of my favorite DC characters.

    Totally brain farted and forgot that the OP said to exclude self contained minis or single stories. So with that in mind, my corrected list:

    The Sandman
    Wolfman/Perez on New Teen Titans
    Moore on Swamp Thing
    Golden Age Wonder Woman
    Englehart/Rogers on Detective Comics
    Rucka on Wonder Woman (both times)
    Morrison on Action Comics
    Morrison on JLA
    Johns on Green Lantern
    Morrison on Batman

    Jay has always been my favorite speedster. I love the costume, the helmet. I think he's the best Flash though because his spirit is pure.

    Well, when you put it that way, it's pretty easy. All I have to do is think of those titles I bought every month (in some cases every other month, if they were bi-monthly) and loved--as opposed to titles I later got as back issues or reprints. Ruling out comics from other publishers, sticking just with DC, and ruling out titles that ran for less than ten issues, those would be:

    1. DETECTIVE COMICS (in 1966-68, but then again from around 1971 thru 1983).
    2. SUPERMAN (mainly from 1971 thru 1978).
    3. THE NEW TEEN TITANS (from 1980 thru 1983).
    4. THE FLASH (1972 to 1979, but then again from 1981 to 1985).
    5. HOURMAN (1999 to 2001).
    6. SUPERBOY & THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES (1973 thru 1979).
    7. THE WARLORD (1976 to 1983).
    8. THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD (1972 thru 1979).
    9. JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA (1971 to 1977).
    10. SHAZAM! (1972 to 1978).

    Actually, this was harder than I thought it would be--some tough choices.
