The New 52 (also known as DC's Second Golden Age, the Kinotic Epoch, and That Which was Good) was truly a spectacular era in the publishing history of DC Comics, brought to an end to quickly. I fashioned this thread to delegate on such topics; why was the New 52 so great? why is it better than anything else published in human (and non-human) history? And finally what were your favourite stories!?
