Great topic question. Almost impossible to answer with 56 years of DC Comics reading under my belt. But, I’ll give it a go:

  1. Batman: Year One
  2. Man of Steel (John Byrne)
  3. Watchmen
  4. Green Lantern/Green Arrow: Hard Travelin’ Heroes
  5. The New Teen Titans: The Judas Contract
  6. Legion of Super-Heroes: The Great Darkness Saga
  7. Jack Kirby: The Fourth World
  8. Crisis on Infinite Earths
  9. Kingdom Come
  10. Aquaman: The Search for Mera

This is one that has the stories that belong on a top ten list of DC in general. Injustice and the like are fine but they aren’t defining stories

I can only do Minis. I need a lot more brain power to think about full series runs. These are all 5 out of 5 for me for different reasons.

Batman: Black and White
The Dark Knight Returns
Superman: Birthright
Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
DC New Frontier
Batman: the Long Halloween/Dark Victory
Superman: Up in the sky
All Star Superman
Batman versus Predator
Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman: Trinity

A very hard choice! This is not in any order except for the first three, which are all clustered at the top:

Batgirl: Stephanie Brown
Batman: Year One
Batman: The Black Mirror
Deathstroke by Priest
Birds of Prey by Simone
Wonder Woman by Rucka (first run)
Batman: Knightmares
Batgirl Year One
Superman: Up in the Sky
Detective Comics by Tynion

(Part my criteria for picking these is that they have to deeply move me, and have to fundamentally shape the way I think and feel about a character)

@TheCosmicMoth I have to say, I love Naomi. I have the TPB of season 1, and really enjoying season 2. I hope that DC gives her a spotlight, she is such an interesting character.

@Jurisdiction I started reading comics in the late 70s because of The Super Friends cartoon, so that’s when I found the comic of the same name. That run ended in 1981, and that’s when I started with JL, LoSH & Green Lantern. Young Justice, the run that I read was when the line up included Cassie, Secret, Empress, and the attack on Zandia storyline. While it’s not a fave of others, I liked the reboot as well from 2019 on the Wonder label. I would love to see DC do more with Jinny Hex, I thought she was interesting.
