DC Before and even more before

Hey,

I haven't really read DC consistently since 1990, and I know some of you are avid fans, so could you please help me out:

Which of the MAJOR crossovers should I read, and try to limit it.

I think these are MUST reads, please correct me if I'm wrong and add/subtract to/from the list as you see fit.

Crisis on infinite Earths

Infinite crisis

52

Final Crisis

Blackest Night

Thanks in advance, cause I know you're all so cool and helpful

Blackest Night and Crisis on Infinite Earths....

That is all.

52, Final Crisis, Infinite Crisis, Etc were way to convoluted and hard to follow

if you want DC at its finest read Kingdom Come. Greatest DC comic Story ever written.

Id Also recommend JSA: The Kingdom . It was a wonderful story but you need to read it AFTER Kingdom Come.

THANK YOU!

Shave off the fat :-) I'll buy those two.

I have indeed read Kingdom Come (and loved it), I'll check out JSA: The Kingdom.

My favorite DC is DKR, Batman year One and The Killing Joke

I haven´t read much DC since the 90´s as well, but check out Identity Crisis if you want. Pretty good read if you ask me, but then again, it was reviled by some because of the sex element and darkness...Not a crossover per se but a good miniseries.

If you can find the TPB, try:

Superman For All Seasons
The Authority Vol. 1, or issues 1-25...just big scale writing, art and action...but more mature since it was a Wildstorm print

JSA: Kingdom was one of those stories where I thought "OH no, they Can't leave well enough alone *cough* The Kingdom *cough*."

I was pleasantly surprised, it was great.

Authority is great :-)

Superman For all Seasons was ok.

Thanks,

But I was looking for "need to read" DC major crossovers :-)

While we are at it, what is the best Superman stories? Batman has a lot, but has there been any good Superman stories? I mean like REALLY MUST READ good.
