From 2004 to this year , which have been the best novels , series etc that you can remember?
Batman
Character » Batman appears in 23635 issues.
Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
Best Runs/Graphic Novels of the last 10 years?
You know I may also have to say Grant Morrison, because really the only part I didn't enjoy of his run was Batman Inc.
@billy_batson: I think he just meant Batman since its the Batman forum.
I almost replied in general too, until I saw people just answering Morrison lol.
Morrison's entire run.

He means Wagner's Batman and the Mad Monk and Batman and the monster men.

Both stories are pretty good, you can check them out if you want.
Off the top of my head since 2004. I would say 'Joker' by Brian Azzarello.... if that counts as a Batman story. Snyder's work on the new 52. Batman: Earth One by Geoff Johns. And probably my favourite is The Black Mirror by Snyder. I would mention Morrison but his work always makes me think he and the artist are on LSD, and makes the work suffer, great stories just could be written and drawn better.
A certain scientific railgun Manga run is pretty cool. Not surprising though since it's based off on one of the highest rated light novel.
Suzuka has had an awesome run too , though it might be considered a more feminine series.
I wanna say Iron Man : The Secret Origin of Iron Man was pretty cool.
?????
@rustyroy: moral of the story , don't just check the title check the forum name too hehe
My bad =)
As far as Runs go, no one competes with Morrison. I can't think of anyone in the last 10 years other than Snyder that has even been writing Batman books long/consistently enough, and produced enough noteworthy stories, to qualify as having a significant run that could compete with Morrison's.
Don't get me wrong, there have been some great Arcs (Long Shadows, Heart of Hush) but I haven't seen anyone outside of Morrison put out a long running story. Snyder was doing a great job from Black Mirror midway through Death of the Family, but has kind of fallen short since the climax of DOTF. I guess you could sneak Gotham Central in there and say Rucka/Brubaker's run was up there but it isn't really Batman and it is two separate writers for the most part.

Totally forgot to see the forum title , just saw the title of the thread =(
Geoff Johns Green Lantern run.
Mythos was completely revamped into all kinds of awesome!
Batman forum
@the_tree: I can't quote but this!
Under the Hood could be my favourite graphic novel, I'm not sure about runs although it's not Grant Morrison. He never really captured my attention as an amazing writer, I've never been a fan of his work (although there are a few exceptions like Batman Inc.).
