    Mostly the ones that are canceled, or will be canceled....

    I. Vampire

    Jonnah Hex

    Red lanterns

    Swamp Thing

    Nightwing was a really great title, every issue was great, extremely sad to see it go, but I'll admit that Grayson is also a great title.

    @saint_sophie It's good, it's my favourite dark title, and in my opinion better than JL Dark, plus it has an arc that crosses over with JLD so you might like that.

    You might not find it better, but I promise you you'll at least find it there on the same level as JLD.

    Wonder Woman (Azarello's best superhero work tbh)

    Green Arrow (Lemire)

    Justice League Dark (DeMatthis)

    Action Comics (Morrison and Pak)

    Batman (Natch)

    Batgirl (Simone)

    World's Finest (I read a fun issue as my first comic in a decade, and then got burned by Levitz)

    Batman, Batgirl, and Green Arrow are the only ones I would pay full price for on release.

    Green Arrow for the world building and character development.

    Batman for being one of the more intricately plotted titles.

    Batgirl for all the things she did with Barbara Gordon developing. And the implications implicit to her rogues' gallery made me snicker each time I read dialog for the new Ventriloquist. And the implications for her dialog involving Obscura. And I will soon drop this title when the depth of stupid that Cameron Stuart feels compelled to induce crashes down in the next issue. The art would have served Gail so much more. But, it turns out that she had very little control until she was brought back. It was editorial that pushed for super dark. then editorial that fired her twice. Once to go hyper exploitatively dark, then to go full saccarine.

    There certainly have been a lot of good ones. Too many to name. I don't disagree with people who say the New 52 has some good stories. I do however disagree with anyone who says it was necessary in order of DC to continue to put out good stories, that it was a "good idea", or that throwing all continuity out the window was necessary to boost sales.

    @senglord: Who is Natch? All of New 52 Batman has been by Snyder.

    @kilowog52: I meant Naturally. Snyder has the best monthly pedigree out of those writing for DC after Robinson and Mieville left.

    Batman has definitely been the best and most consistently good book since the reboot (atleast to me). Snyder has been doing an excellent job.

    EDIT: I forgot to mention Batman and Robin. It's up there with Batman in terms of quality and consistency.

    Out of what I've read, I'd say the following runs are some of the standout greats.

    Forever Evil

    Batman Eternal

    Earth Two: World's End (as well as several chunks of the monthly E2 series prior to the weekly)

    Futures End (with some exceptions)

    assorted Lantern arcs among different series

    especially Bedard's New Guardians

    Azzarrello's Wonder Woman

    Lemire's Green Arrow (though I feel it started out better than it ended and do also enjoy Kreisberg and Sokolowski's run)

    Lemire's Justice League Dark

    JLU

    JLA's Vibe

    Forever Evil: Blight

    Threshold

    Tynion's RHatO

    both Johns' and Parker's Aquaman

    most of the Flash, under both creative teams

    all of Demon Knights

    the Futures End month one-shot for the Phantom Stranger

    STAY TUNED FOR THE WORST OF THE NEW 52!
