Wow, I'm so happy to see all these New 52 arcs/runs that make your list of all time favorites! Sometimes these boards are really cynical and you get the impression every DC reader hated everything about the New 52.

A lot of stuff makes it into my "top 10 favorite runs of this title/character" from the New52.
Morrison's Action. At the very least the first arc.
Johns' Aquaman.
Azzarello's Wonder Woman.
Dial H.
Soule's Red Lanterns.
Milligan's Justice League Dark.
King & Seely's Grayson.
Black Canary by....whoever it was, if we can count DCYOU stuff.
Burnside Batgirl.
Lemire's Animal Man.
Much of Snyder's Swamp Thing and all of Soule's run that followed.
Probably a few others I forgot about. For all the mistakes and screw ups and terrible books, the New52 still had plenty of quality."We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe."

The vast majority of its controversial nature is just the reboot element. How so much history was erased (for the most part it didn't bother me, but that's me). There was quite a bit of quality though just in terms of stories told.

Superman and Wonder Woman both benefited from a reboot and suffered for it, because it was yet again another overhaul when they've both already had so many, and it was poorly coordinated at that. But on paper, a fresh star and breath of fresh air after being bogged down by bad contradictory continuity and bad stories for so long was beneficial.
The Titans and the JSA were screwed though.Last edited by SiegePerilous02; 12-07-2018 at 12:17 PM.

Make no mistake there was some real garbage in the Nu52 also. Stuff like Hawk and Dove, Legion Lost, Teen Titans, and really most of the book involving teen characters. The teenage heroes were the biggest losers of the Nu52. If you were a fan of younger characters then the hate of the Nu52 was competely justified. Originally Posted by tib2d2

Very true, but that started long before the reboot. And it has continued long after it. Originally Posted by SiegePerilous02

Oh definitely, there are a whole slew of problems for the Titans in particular. Originally Posted by Ascended

I really liked I, vampire. I was oddly a really big fan of Cains design.

The New 52 wasn't as bad as people made it out to be, honestly. Some of the hate was nothing but exaggeration. Originally Posted by tib2d2

I still much prefer Grell's run. Originally Posted by Rakzo
