Injustice is a money grab. It was specifically made to get money from people who wnated to know more about the lore from the games. Luckily it was entertaining and action packed which is why people like it. But by no means is it intelligent writing. TDKR is intelligent writing at it's fullest. Its a dark deconstruction of a character at a time when Batman was known for the Kapow! Kaboom! Adam West stuff.

Flashpoint nor Books of Magic deserve to be on the list. Especially Flashpoint, that comic sucked, the movie was great because they got rid of all the incoherent plot points from the comic and streamlined the story. Books of Magic is fun, but if you're looking at a good Vertigo book, look no further than Sandman.

@ff3player: this could be argued - the premise and evolution was interesting to a point, but the conclusion is highly disappointed. I always found it as a sort of DC's "Clone Saga" from Marvel which started out great, but than lost its momentum and didn't really had an idea on how to deliver a good ending. Make no mistake - I can totally see WHY your mind goes to that story, but compared to the ones on the list it does fall short in my opinion.

@blitzvg9975 6 жыл бұрын
Mckenzie Morgan Flashpoint is beyond overrated and I am honestly shocked that so many people are talking about it. Any real Flash fan could tell you that Flashpoint wasn't intended to be a reboot and that editorial stuck it's grimy hands in and ruined everything for both the Flash and the DCU as a whole at the time. It's only being adapted to the movies because it's A) a very easy story to adapt into one without having to be loyal to source material. And B) it's really the only story Barry is known for since he was resurrected. If you want amazing Flash stories, read Return of Barry Allen, Terminal Velocity, Blitz, or Rogue War. That's where the amazing stories are. They star the true fastest man alive... Wally West

There is a major omission from this list... "Identity Crisis"! No other story has hit home as well... Rather than bigger and bolder villains, this one tackled the issue of the partners of the heroes being targeted. It also manages to get the reader to re-evaluate stories from the silver era, explaining why the adventures often seemed more simplistic or silly. This is surely not one to miss... if even only for the gut punch first issue.

Vertigo has always been an imprint of DC. DC founded Vertigo to have a different name they could put on anything too mature/violent/unconventional, everything they didn't want to or couldn't put the DC name on at the time. It has always been the same company though. V for Vendetta was originally published by some company in the UK that went bankrupt and DC picked it up and finished the series. They republished it under their Vertigo imprint later. So if you'd buy it now, yeah, it says Vertigo on the cover. I guess they just counted stories that say "DC comics" on the cover? And they probably didn't look into the history of all titles they considered to fnd out who originally published them etc. If they counted Vertigo titles, this list would have to look very different. V for Vendetta was great, definitely one of my favourites,but what about Hellblazer, Transmetropolitan, Sandman? (Yes, those are series, but all of them have several great stories you could pick) Maybe they are saving them for a Top 10 Vertigo stories list?

V for Vendetta was left out as well it is a product of DC and Vertigo. Omega men is a truly philosophical and original story from Tom King who formerly worked for the CIA in the middle east. You can definitely tell where he got his inspiration from.
