Comics Code Atrocity

All-Star Superman is widely considered one of the greatest superman comics of all time, if not just one of the best of any character. This run, somehow, gives the readers a more perfect version of the character while at the same time giving him depth and realisim. Although he is an alien, he's more human than most that walk the earth. This comic defines a lot of rules in Superman's relationship with Lois, his rivalry with Lex, and his limitations as a hero. In true Grant Morrison fashion, the story is a bit all over the place and gets weird but it's the Superman all of us really need when we see the symbol.

Final Crisis is the DC event that destroys the comic's universe. The Justice League investigates the murder of a New God! Darkseid plans to unleash the anti-life equation on earth behind the the Justice League's back. Heroes travel through time, Green Lantern's betraying the corps, Supermen of multiple dimensions fight a vampire god, and Batman... well he's Batman. Grant Morrison gets weird with this one!

Batman Year 100 is a gritty and raw version of the character. This is a story about a Batman in the year 2039 and a conspiracy that goes all the way to the presidency. What does it mean to truly be "the good guy" when the police and government are full of fascism, capital punishment, and down right evil men. Plus the art is just phenomenal.
