    Default Best DC stories of the past 5 years?

    Because of all the talk about DC being disappointing these days, I thought it'd be nice if we name some of the more recent stories people actually like. Can be in or out of continuity, an ongoing, a miniseries, whatever, just anything by DC recently that you thoroughly enjoyed. Get some positivity in here.

    For me I thought Man and Superman was amazing (a bit of a cheat, written over a decade ago but only released like last year).
    Harleen was exceptionally well done with gorgeous art, and I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel or spin off.
    Curse of the White Knight is good, inspired the whole Black Label.

    Doomsday Clock Part 1 (still waiting for Part 2)

    New 52 Justice League Vol 1 (going to collect Vol 2-6)

    New 52 Justice League Darkseid Wars Saga Omnibus (easily one of my favorite collections)

    Earth 2 Vol 1-5 and Convergence (loved seeing famous characters with a new spin, and Converg has a cool lead onto Lois and Clark)


    New 52 Action Comics Vol 1-3

    New 52 Superman Wonder Woman, Superman Doomed, Savage Dawn, The Final Days of Superman (even though Doomsday has been done before and a Death of Superman story as well... I for one loved the New 52 spin on old stories and loved how it all leads into Rebirth.)

    Dark Knights Metal, Road to Metal, The Totality (I gotta lot of gaps in my reading on this story but Snyder has my attention.

    The Flash Starting Line New 52 issues 1-12. Even though ie read vol 1 of Mark Waid and Geoff John's runs I was way more interested in New 52 Flash and it has caused me to collect a load or Rebirth Flash books ... which I've started reading

    Green Lantern Book 1 Geoff (not finished yet but loving it!)

    Injustice completes 1-4 (soon to collect 5)

    Supergirl Vol 2 Breaking the Chain (picked up used but wanna collect more around this story)

    Shazam from New 52. Will collect the yet to be released trades...


    Mister Mircle not usually the type of superhero comic I would read but its nice to have variety

    A lot of my collection is from 2010-15 as well as older stuff...

    Honestly I think the last 5 years has produced loads of books I've yet to get my hands on

    Well for your information, the future printings of
    Batman: Year One
    The Dark Knight Returns
    Joker one-shote
    Batman: Noel
    Batman: Damned
    will fall under the Black Label.

    In all the lists I only see:
    Batman: White Knight
    Harleen

    I haven't read the other new "Black Label", but they all see interresting.
