Poll Which Titles Had the Best Stories Overall In Villain's Month? (2 votes)
So I realize a lot of people are disappointed about villain's month overall and I can understand that to a certain extent. I also understand the money making scheme that it was. Still I found myself grabbing a lot of these books and reading them while for the most part enjoying them. There were very few that I bought that were outright duds (except Doomsday blech) but yes there were plenty of mediocre ones (Ivy). The ones that I liked a lot though were more numerous (Penguin, Two-Face, Zod, Brainiac, Arcane) and some of them were good stories to introduce me to characters I hadn't really known before (Man-Bat, Relic, Parasite).
Here is the question: Dividing each of these villains books into the sets that they were released into which was the best overall in your opinion. I also realize putting 4 books up against 1 is not necessarily fair but I figure people will vote on both sides of that so it will even out.
Personal Pick: Batman and Robin. Two-Face I believe is my pick of the litter (and I bought quite a lot of these books) just a great portrayal of the character and his nature. I haven't read Court of Owls yet as I'm not up to date with new 52 Batman (and my trend seems to be with these to get 3/4 of the titles). Ra's was a very pretty comic and while a little jumpy with dates it is to be expected with such an ancient figure. And Killer Croc which I just finished was great as well a little over reliant on the bad childhood crutch which Tony and co. have pointed out but the rest was great.
Runners Up: GL (Relic 4/5, Mongul 4/5, Black Hand couldn't get, Sinestro 3.5/5). Honourable Mention to Swamp Thing (Arcane was awesome), Batman (skipped Joker, was let down by Riddler, thought Penguin was amazing and Bane was great), Superman (couldn't get Bizarro, skipped H'el, but thought Brainiac was awesome and Parasite was beautiful) and Action Comics (haven't gotten yet Cyborg Supes or Metallo but want to just budget concerns, Zod was 5/5 great and Lex was a solid 4).
