    I usually re-read something Starman related once a year, it may be an arc or several trades. I LOVE that series so it is easy to read again without getting tired of it.

    Several arcs of Wally’s run I will re-read from time to time: Dead Heat, The Return Of Barry Allen, Terminal Velocity, etc.

    Last, would be JSA related usually Prince of Darkness or The Return of Hawkman.

    Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's New 52 Batman run.

    The Green Lantern saga starting with Green Lantern: Rebirth up to Brightest Day.

    Batman/TMNT by James Tynion IV.

    All-Star Superman.

    Some Geoff Johns Superman stories (Secret origin, Brainiac, Last Son, Legion of Superheroes)

    Supergirl by Sterling Gates

    I also think Superman Smashes the Klan will be one I frequently revisit in the future.

    James Robinson's The Golden Age is something I usually read once a year; Priest's first thirteen issues or so of The Ray (with Porter on art); Grant Morrison's Animal Man run; the first few years of the Roy Thomas written All-Star Squadron.

    Lately I look over Abnett's AQUAMAN quite a bit.

    I reread FOR THE MAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING often. Moore's Swamp Thing. Veitch and Acala's Swampy, too.

    Are you me?

    Seriously, I re-read STARAN at least once a year and try to re-read Geoff Johns JSA. DARKSTARS is a series I re-read about every 2 years.

    I don’t do it every year, but I find I revisit certain things far more than others:

    1. Starman, which seems like a popular choice.

    2. Sandman Mystery Theatre.

    3. Green Lantern, from Emerald Twilight through the present.

    4. Flash volume 2, the whole thing. From Baron to Waid’s second stint.

    5. 90s/early 00s Batman. I have a nostalgic soft spot for the bombastic crossover era. I’ll usually start with Contagion and read through War Crimes. Even though it’s remarkably different in tone, this will also typically lead into a Morrison re-read.

    6. The Reboot Legion, from Zero Hour through the end of The Legion.

    7. JLA, Morrison/Waid/Kelly.

    As you can tell, I got into comics in the 90s.

    Did we just become best friends?

    Starman is my favorite comic series of all time. It had everything.

    I re-read Multiversity a lot. I love multiverse shenanigans and it's a nice contained story to boot.

    Various stories from the Legion of Super-Heroes like Superboy's Legion, the Universo Project, an Eye for an Eye, etc.
    PAD's Young Justice.

    As time goes on, I increasingly find the hopeful future of the LSH setting more and more useful in keeping sane.

    There are some really well known books I could mention like the Watchmen for example... but that's no fun...

    Less known books

    1. major bummer super spectacular
    The entire 15 issue series originally published by dc but cancelled fast as didn't sell well. Later released by vertigo.
    Easily my favorite comical and satirical superhero book. DOUG MAHNKE art and just amazing fun writing! I've read this many times.


    Superman Transformed
    Not just the tpb that led to the huge blue superman arc but the whole arc from final night to Millennium giants to superman forever. About 80 issues.

    Superboy Trouble in Paradise (90s Superboy)
    Number of years ago I reread the Death Reigh Return arc of Superman and was reminded how much I loved that version of superboy. I hunted around but seemed like no tpbs were made from super boys solo run in Hawaii... so I bought the first 13 issues of his run from mycomicshop. Fun nostalgia run and i wanna collect the whole 100 issue run but dont want all floppies... but dc doesnt seem to have plans to release more trades. Stuck rereading the first 13 issues
