What are DC's best comic stories?

[Jcogginsa]

I'm currently planning a poll thread to determine DC's Best stories, and I'd like the forum's help in filling out the bracket.

The stories you recommend can be in-continuity, they can be elseworlds, they can be show tie-ins, as long as they're comics, it's all good. Just give me the title of the story, and the issues it's told in. If you see that someone else has already recommended that story you want to recommend, be sure to give it a second. It'll help me narrow things down.

I want to do a 48 story bracket, and so far I have found 32 stories to include. Here's what I've already got.

How about LEGENDS?

It was the first big Post Crisis gathering of heroes, it introduced The New Gods into the new continuity, gave us The Suicide Squad and all new Justice League, had Wonder Woman officially meet her peers...

It had a good creative pedigree w. Ostrander, Wein and Byrne all contributing.

Batman: The Cult (#1 - #4)
Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia
JLA: A Leauge Of One
Green Latern Rebirth (#1 - #6)
