    Default Best DC comic runs/stories from 2010 and beyond?

    I've got some pretty good lists of good DC stuff from 80s, 90s and 2000s, but not a lot from 2010 up until today.
    What I have so far:

    • Jeff Lemire's Animal Man
    • Scott Snyder's Batman and Swamp Thing
    • Geoff John's Aquaman
    • Grant Morrison's Action Comics
    • Tom King's Omega Men



    Anything I'm missing?

    IMO, they're pretty few and far between. Just counting completed runs:

    For the Nu52:

    Jeff Parker's Aquaman

    Simone's Nu52 Secret Six (Rocky start, but really pulls together)

    Steve Orlando's Midnighter

    For pre-Nu52:

    Snyder and Higgens' Gates of Gotham (5-issue mini)

    Dini's Zatanna

    And going back 1 year to 2009, a run which ended in 2011, Bryan Q Miller's Batgirl.

    I'll second Azzarello's Wonder Woman, Morrison's Multiversity and the Williams/Blackman Batwoman for sure.

    And I'm utterly delighted that I didn't have to tell you how good Morrison's nineteen issues of Action are!

    Did you mean Priest's Deathstroke run, or do you really think that Daniel's run is among the best of the decade? Because that would be a first.
    It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?

    Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

    Seconding Grayson and Lemire's Green Arrow.
    I think Demon Knights under Cornell is objectively great too if you're a fantasy fan.
    Current Pull: Lazarus, The Realm, Seven to Eternity, Aquaman, Flash, Justice League Dark, Justice League Odyssey, Sideways, Black Panther, Captain America, Daredevil, Death of the Inhumans.

    Future Pull: Killmonger.

    Jeff Lemire's Green Arrow
    Gerard Way's Doom Patrol
    C. Priest's Deathstroke
    Cecil Castellucci's Shade the Changing Girl

    I think DC is releasing most of its best material from this decade right now.
    MARVEL - All-New Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men Gold, Thanos, Hawkeye (trade)
    DC - Doom Patrol, Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye, Shade the Changing Girl, Mother Panic, Bug!: The Adventures of Forager, Mister Miracle
    Non-Big Two - Forever waiting on another arc of The Umbrella Academy, I Hate Fairyland (trade)

    I thought the Tony Daniel and James Bonny run was highly entertaining and exactly what a Deathstroke fan like me wants.

    At the time it was the best Deathstroke stuff besides Marv Wolfman.

    Yupyupyup.

    Other runs I think are worthwhile - Genevieve Valentine's run on Catwoman, Batman Eternal, Robin, Son of Batman (only Gleason's issues).
