What was your favorite "event" - not including COIE?

I totally get (most?) folks distaste for Millennium. The Staton art isn't to everyone's liking. The goofy stereotypes ("A Japanese technocrat! A South African racist! An indigenous Australian who lives in Dreamtime! A super-flamboyant gay guy!") are a bit much. And yeah, Wally West's dad, Dr. Jace, and Karin Grace turning out to be Manhunter agents is a little tough to swallow.

But the series caught me in a good mood, and made some big swings (eg the whole hippy-dippy issue where the framing device was the Guardian and Zamoran "explaining the universe" by counting to 10). The basic premise alone gets bonus points for at least attempting something other than the usual "Cosmic Dave Is Here To Destroy/Re-Write/Punch the Planet/Universe/Multiverse/Megaverse" stuff we've been getting for the last few years.

So yeah, it's a flawed piece (with a dumb ending). But it's different, self-contained, and (mostly) harmless. Considering most of the more recent events, it could've been a lot worse.

I have said for years Invasion was the perfect company wide crossover. It was short being just 3 months, but has long term effects. It also led to some great new books like L.E.G.I.O.N., Justice League Europe, and Morrison's Doom Patrol. Even all the tie ins were mainly bunched into one month.

Definitely my choice too!

Legends, I thought it better than CoIE.

Invasion would be my backup.

My favorite above them all probably doesn't qualify as it was all confined to Superman's titles: Panic in the Sky.

i enjoyed underworld unleashed , not a fan of howard porter stiff art though. unfortunately , neron has been nerfed greatly since.a lot of villains underwent changes thanks to neron.

zero hour tie-in issues were great fun , the event itself not so much . was just used as an excuse to forcefully killed off the jsa.

Infinite Crisis gets my vote.

**Factor** · 11-03-2020, 09:46 AM

DC One Million. Every tie-in I've read is great.

I only ever got to see that aftermath, and I was thinking the implied fight would have been worth seeing.
