Just read 5 graphics, been trying to catch up on some DC stuff
Identity Crisis by Brad Meltzer, Rags Morales, and Michael Bair.

I thought this one was very good, and it brought to light a more complex character aka Elongated Man. I never thought much of this fella, but like Plastic Man, I knew that with just a little effort they could flush his character out some. I liked this one a lot, and the way in which it concluded, came out of no where(to me at least). I definately recommend this one.

Superman/Batman/Supergirl by Jeph Loeb, Michael Turner, and Peter Steigerwald.

I've seen/read a lot of stories/arcs that brought in Supergirl, and killed her off, and had clones/aliens replicating her, and this one is damn near the best "bringing her in the fold" story arc's I've read. I always like the inclusion of anything, ANYTHING from Apokolips, so seeing Darkseid, and Barda and the rest of the crew involved was entertaining. I recommend this one as well.

Infinite Crisis by Geoff Johns, Phil Jimenez, George Perez, Jerry Ordway, Ivan Reis, and Andy Lanning.

Okay, I'm a DC fan at heart, although I love Marvel a lot...but The Crisis of Infinite Earths(which spawned Infinite Crisis) was by far the worst comic story arc I have ever read in the DC universe...and Infinite Crisis didn't manage to salvage anything respectable either...Infinite Crisis reminded me that I should throw Crisis of Infinite Earths away, or use it as fire starter...I don't recommend this crap to anybody...I went through enough torture.

Justice League of America: The Lightning Saga, by Brad Meltzer, and Geoff Johns.

I thought this one was very good, I'm not a big fan of the Legion of Superheroes, but there inclusion in this story arc was very, very good. I don't want to spoil much, but I do recommend this comic, especially if you are a Flash fan.

Justice League of America: The Tornado's Path by Brad Meltzer and Ed Benes.

I enjoyed this one as well...I've always, always like Red Tornado, because he was so...well, cold, and calculating(much like Bats, or Wolverine) and this story arc was good. I do recommend this one as well.


I've missed a lot the past 10yrs plus, but I'm going to try and stay more current, oh and Red Arrow, is the damn shiznit...:D
