Question:
A question for everyone who has been reading comics for at least a
decade. I've been reading comics for over 30 years, and I'm curious as to
which DC comics are considered to be the best and by whom.
I have a few on my list and I'd be interested in feedback on them.
In no particular order:
Kingdom Come
The Dark Knight Returns
Morrison's Sandman run
Morrison's JLA run
Morrison's Animal Man run
Arkham Asylum
The Killing Joke
Alan Moore's Swamp Thing
Watchmen
Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?
V for Vendetta
DC 1 Million
Black Orchid
Death: The High Cost of Living
Preacher
Garth Ennis' Hellblazer
Batman: Year One
There are many Marvel comics that would be on the list also, such as
Miller's Daredevil, Stan Lee and John Romita's Spider-man run, The
Lee/Kirby-Lee/Buscema FF run, Marvels, the Busiek Avengers
stories..etc...but I guess I should limit this to DC comics and approach the
other forum later.
Answer:
I think it's a no-brainer. Gaimain's Sandman series is easily the best
comic series of the past few decades, possibly the best comic series
ever produced. It was both a critical and a commerical success and had a
great amount of impact which reached well beyond the normally insular
genre of comics.
