    Has to be All-Star Squadron. You can just feel the love Roy has for taking existing comics and history trivia as building blocks for his stories. And you can see how the loss of that undercut a lot of his Young All-Stars run where he tried to limit his focus to a bunch of characters with no real ties to actual prior comics.

    Arak, Son of Thunder. While it was uneven in places, it was always entertaining and had it's own story to tell that didn't devolve into continuity porn that only existed to explain other stories already told.

    All-Star Squadron is #1 in my book. So many cool characters and a wide variety of stories. This book continually kept my interest. Hopefully DC brings this book and Roy back at some point.
    Currently(or soon to be) Reading: Alan Scott: Green Lantern, Batman/Superman: World's Finest, Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Jay Garrick: The Flash, Justice Society of America, Power Girl, Superman, Shazam, Titans, Wesley Dodds: Sandman, Wonder Woman, & World's Finest: Teen Titans.

    I know All-Star Squadron was good but I have such a love for Infinity Inc. that I’m going to pick them.

    As one of the Earth-Two aficionados on this board, Arak was not in my running. However, I found All Star Squadron to be a bit too beholden to continuity. I know Roy LOVED making it all fit, but I much rather proffered Infinity, as the next generation of Earth-Two heroes was making their way into the world.
