From Siegel, Shuster, Finger & Fox to Sekowsky, Fox & Kane to Adams, O'Nea & Wein to Wolfman, Perez, Stanton & Levitz, to Byrne, Moore, Dematteis & Giffen to Gaiman, Robinson & Jurgens to Snyder, Gleason & Tomasi, etc. What's your favorite run? Best artist? Worst writer? Speak up and be heard (or ignored - it's 50/50).  |

The original Blue Devil series from the 80s is one of DC's most underrated series.

Wolfman/Perez NTT, Levitz LOSH, Giffen/DeMatteis Justice League and the other related series are some of my favorite series/runs. Far as underrated properties go, Warlord, the Gemworld stuff, Challengers of the Unknown, probably others, I'll give it a think and come back here.

My first few years collecting comics, I was a Marvel Zombie. Oh, I tried a few DC titles but nothing stuck. With books only costing a quarter I soon was getting every Marvel book there was (minus Conan).
Eventually I was drawn to Batman Family which had Michael Golden's Demon inside. A house ad for the JSA caught my eye (Jay Garrick was cool - Barry Allen still sucked). Huntress was my first comic book crush. I found out why George Perez wasn't drawing the FF or Avengers anymore because I recognized him in some silly New Teen Titans book (which I liked by page 3 of my first issue).
From there, Gene Colan on Detective, Don Newton on Batman, Keith Giffen on Doctor Fate (which meant I had to buy Barry Allen Flash - which I ended up liking). Pat Broderick on Legion of Super-Heroes and...
Whoa there. Time out.
Why the hell did I ever think Legion of Super-Heroes was stupid? Those two Broderick issues turned my comics habit upside down. I was so enthralled. I kept a notebook trying to figure who everyone was, what their real names were, what their powers were, what planet they came from, etc. etc. They became then and still are the very apex of my list top favorite series (doing the impossible by besting the FF!). Ben Grimm dropped a place in favorite characters because of Brainiac 5. Quickly enough, Keith Giffen joined Levitz on the titles and well, the rest they say is history (or future - depending on your view of the time/space continuum).
Time in.
Anyway, I was sold. DC was as much fun as Marvel. But then came the Crisis (and ohhh that George Perez art). The Post-Crisis world was my favorite place in comics despite all the gaffes. By the end of 1986, DC topped Marvel on my favorites list. And they're still my #1 in 2019
Have some things been crap - oh yes. No more or less than Marvel (or First, Eclipse, Caliber, etc).
Have other things been great - oh yes! And in my opinion - more than Marvel (or Image, Dark Horse, Oni, etc).
Make Mine DC.

The bread and butter of the DC Universe is and always will be Wolfman & Perez' New Teen Titans run. There. I said it.

DC caught me with Crisis On Infinite Earths. Loved that story...and loved a lot of the books that came out right after that.

Honestly Ive been thinking a lot lately of the old Panic In The Skies story and how much I enjoyed it. Why, idk... read it so long ago. Seeing Deathstroke work on that level was really something.
If it had expanded (which just... wouldnt have been HIM, tbh) its insane just how things would have worked out with him as a strategic mind consistently working with or on the Justice League.

* the "idk" was for not knowing why it keeps popping up in my head lately, lol, not "why did i enjoy it" XD
