7. Justice League
Long-time Batman writer Scott Snyder left Gotham this year, and brought fan-favorite artist Jorge Jimenez with him as they took over the DCU’s heavy hitting core team, the Justice League. Spiraling out of the equally impressive, universe-shattering Dark Knights: Metal, Snyder and Jimenez’s Justice League has gone for broke from issue one, and shows absolutely no intention of slowing down. Weaving in cosmic catastrophes with offbeat humor and charmingly quirky gags (seriously, Starro is a baby kept in a jar, nicknamed ‘Jarro’–it’s a whole thing), the Justice League finally feels like the heart and soul of the DC Universe again, after a long post-Flashpoint absence from the limelight. What’s more, the book has also introduced the Legion of Doom–yes, the team from those vintage Saturday morning cartoons–into the mainline DCU for the first time ever, in case you needed any more reason to give this book a shot.
