Batwoman: Elegy
Sandman Mystery Theatre
The Extremist
Enigma
Gotham Central
Catwoman by Brubaker
JSA: Golden Age
Checkmate by Rucka
Wonder Woman by Rucka
The early arcs of the 1989 Legends of the Dark Knight series (e.g. Shaman, Prey, Venom, Gothic)
Animal Man (Vertigo and New 52)
New Teen Titans
Starman (Jack Knight)"It's not my Kate." - Greg Rucka

I thought about Waid's stint on THE FLASH but then I couldn't decide it or Johns (especially starting with #201 and "Ignition") was more new reader friendly so I didn't go with either! Originally Posted by Jekyll
