DC rebirth was freaking fantastic and personally for me my favorite series was superman and action comics and biggest one for me was Super sons with Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy as his little 10 year old self and Damian Wayne robin going on fun adventures made me so happy in my opinion.
Superman: secret origins was also a solid origin story written by Geoff Johns and I’m pretty sure is the current canon origin after the new 52 and pre-new 52 Superman combined in Superman Reborn.
2018... double page ads appearing that said Bendis is coming. Everyone said that's the beginning of the end of DC...it's like 2002 wwe Ric flair is general co manager with Vince McMahon and Vince is not happy with that so he introduces the NWO to the wwe. He says they are a lethal cancer. Ric flair= geoff Johns and rebirth. Vince= dan dideo. NWO = Bendis
Thanks for this very positive video, Wes! One minor quibble: Why not put the titles and creators on script on screen the way you do picks for the week?
The Flash comic improved greatly once after Jeremy Adams took over. He finally saved Wally West and brought his family back. The wrestling issue is one of my favourite stand-alone DC comic. It was fun and exciting. It is everything a superhero comic should be.
I completely agree with your take on Jeremy Adams’ Flash series. It was in my opinion the highlight of DC during that run. It made remember how much I appreciated the character of Wally West.
This is exactly what I needed! I wouldn't know where to start with actual, good comic books from, well, the past 25 years or so. I mean, you gave me Planetary and that was a brilliant gift.
This is great, Wes. I've taken my finger of the pulse since, lemme think... Dark metal, so this list is a bit of a godsend. Furthermore, it proves without a doubt that everything you is for the love of the medium and the characters, and nothing is personal. If Tom Taylor makes the list, how could it be otherwise? Thanks again, mate. Cheers!
The list is impressive Wes and true to heart. Still waiting to get that "SUPERSONS" Omnibus Edition. Also... "WORLDS FINEST" was the only unusual/new/interesting DC tittle for many many years which is worth having. As for "BATMAN METAL/ DEATH METAL"... in the same time there were short stories with 2 volumes called "TALES FROM THE DARK MULTIVERSE". I liked the dark twist for any previous crisis or singular hero's/team event that in one timeline went wrong. The art for all of them was good and worked as a nostalgia/rehash alternative. I'd like more of that and even continue them as a non-canon story.
Is Venditti's Hawkman a Rebirth series? Didnt it come out after Metal? Seriously my favorite DC series in last 10 years. I also really loved The Terrifics which was shortlived but spun out of Metal too I think.
Interesting video. DC definitly took a turn for the worse after rebirth. Personally, my favorite post-rebirth titles are Snyders Justice League, Superman: Up in the Sky and Batman: Three Jokers
Rebirth was DC realizing their mistakes with the New 52 and honestly the most recent time they were consistently good. Still they eventually botched that up. I really enjoyed Priest's Deathstroke run and how it revitalized the character and his entire family. The Defiance arc was an especially interesting story about Slade "going good" that should have ran longer than it did. Even though original NTT was still gone, DC was trying to bring pieces back especially with the controversial Lazarus Contract story. Looking back it wasnt a perfect era for Titans fans but it at least seemed to be trying to do more with Titans that were often forgotten for constant focus on the original NTT seven and maybe a few sidekicks which we seem to be back to with Taylor's Titans. Rebirth Titans brought so many forgotten Silver age Titans back and DS gave spotlight to others like Jericho, Ravager, and Terra. Rebirth TT however really lost track the quickest amd then there was Glass's run.
My list with no specific order (in continuity) - Crime Syndicate -Suicide Squad -King Shark -The Terrifics -Hawkman -Golden Age -Star Girl and the Lost Children -Wesley Dodds, Sandman --Jay Garrick, Flash
DC Rebirth was so good. Post Justice League No Justice and the arrival of Bendis DC has never been the same. Think of how good Superman was. Also we got super sons too which was outstanding.
I don't think DC ever recovered, from New 52. At least, I was never excited to read anything, or even check back for a trade, since then. Oh, there was a downward spiral, before then, with several books just hitting a wall, but across the entire DCU, it was just violation after violation, nobody felt like themselves, and it was truly like reading another company. Rebirth did some good, and some key players felt like themselves, after so long, but it wasn't a full break, from New 52. Some of the stench was still there. Since the time of Batman RIP and Final Crisis, I was never less excited, to see the next issue, and that's never come back. I still get more enjoyment, out of reading events and solo story arcs, from 30 years ago. Rebirth was like, "We're taking away some of the most reviled storylines, and making your heroes feel classic, again" *"We're still keeping some of the moderately bad, New 52 additions".
@@dantrudeau5332 A decent book, here and there, doesn't negate the DCU, overall, being dreck. And the books that come recommended don't hold a candle, to years past. I'm glad some people enjoy a few of the books, out there, but it's been a cycle, with DC. If there's a book that's not half bad, in a few months, it'll be as bad, as 90+% of the rest of the line.
What a time it was. Superman and Action Comics twice monthly was great as it guaranteed me great new Superman every week! I even enjoyed the first few volumes of Red Hood and the Outlaws!
Jeremy Adams really didn’t pick up any pieces in green lantern… we should thank Joshua Williamson. During Dark Crisis he pretty much retconned Throne green lantern and Adams just went from there….😂😂
They could bring the REAL Jon Kent back and later reveal the adult one is from an alternate universe. Send him back to his universe and take his boy toy with him so jay won’t try to groom 10year old Jon.
@@SuperCam-me3mj The REAL Jon Kent is Hyperman aka the son of Superman & Wonder Woman from the Kingdom Come Universe. If we get that Jon Kent I would be satisfied. Not this fucking fraud we have now.
Fantastic video and really highlights the problem. Nothing great to read pulls you to buy the next issue in an ongoing series on a monthly basis. Dc needs great monthly writers and artists.
Re: swamp thing referencing earlier Alan Moore story. I wish people in the industry would take a queue from Alan Moore and not worry so much about repeating past stories, but creating new gems!
Some of my favorite stuff that wasn't mentioned are The Witching Hour event part of the Tynion/Ram V Justice League: Dark (which is as a whole very good), the Swamp Thing Winter Special, which is one of the few good Tom King reads, The Batman Who Laughs mini series (which was probably the last we should've seen that character for a while) and Mairghread Scott's Batgirl run. I liked Dark Knights Metal, but that book should've NOT been in continuity. Batman being puppeteered by a Batgod from the start ruins the character and makes absolutely everything about him insignificant. Fine as an alternate story, terrible for continuity. I thought they'd make Barbatos go away after being defeated, but there he is, back in Ram V's run.
Never forget, if this is OUR Superman & Lois, this isn't the Batman, Aquaman, Flash, etc. we grew up with. This is the Rebirth universe, so our Teen Titans, Doom Patrol, Challengers of the Unknown never existed in this universe.
I’m not much of a DC fan so I only read a few issues here and there but I had a friend who really love rebirth but after they pulled back from it he started reading less and less.
Read some Rebirth Batman, Flash, Green Lantern and DCeased and enjoyed them. Not keen on White Knight. Interested in that other Superman Origins. I have only read Superman Secret Origin 2009 by Geoff Johns so far. I liked that one for sure.
I can't stand White Knight. Cool art but everything about the characters and story are wrong. It is basically the meme "Batman is a rich white man who beats up poor people" with the story being about how Batman isn't a real hero , they need to follow the social teachings of Joker and become the REAL heroes (social workers basically.)
Begrudgingly, in Tom King's defense, he says that it wasn't his idea to screw Wally West. He was given orders from editorial. Not sure how true that is.
N52 ruined DCU forever to me but DC Rebirth had good titles.Joshua Williamson Flash,All Star Batman,James Tynion IV Detective Comics, Dan Jurgens Action Comics,Christopher Priest Deathstroke were the best title in the first year of DC Rebirth. Everything fall apart with Heroes In Crisis,Tom King in Batman and Bendis arrival In Action Comics and Superman and until today DC never recovered fully.
DC’s biggest mistake was aging up Jonathan Kent in the Superman books. Young, Super Sons Jonathan Kent should have been recruited by the Legion of Superheroes to the future, and adult Superman Jon should have come back. That would have left the door open for the younger Super Sons Jon Kent to return from the future to team up with Damian while he’s training to become Superman.
such a great time. so unexpected but needed and literally brought DC back from the brink. I was all but out entirely after a lifetime and they pulled me back with rebirth. cant expect them to keep the momentum forever, but still a shame it inevitably came to an end. Sadly they havnt been capable of anything nearly as good since and actually only keep screwing up worse. "Dawn of DC" seemed like really weak half hearted attempt to at least appear like they were trying to do another rebirth, but really not committed to it. it was all mediocre at best and just as quickly as it mildly improved, its started spiraling down the drain again.
Dan Abnett should’ve been the one to write the current Titans comics not Tom Taylor. Greg Rucka was the last Good writer for Wonder Woman. Now She has bad writer after bad writers and terrible event. Also too scared to leave Diana dead after End of Death Metal. Why can’t writer focus on Cassie Sandsmarks being to protagonist? 2:56 You only see Sideways that about it. Silencer was last seen in Wonder Woman. The other I have no idea. Dial H for Hero by Sam Humphries. It the only best comic out of Wonder Comics imprint. Humphries and Quinones put their heart and soul into this as it as a love letter to comics in General. And still baffles me that Superman never considered adopting Miguel Montez. I might gonna reread Humphries’ Green Lantern series and see it stills holds up. 7:31 l am confused are talk comics from rebirth or since rebirth? Cause Jeremy Adams’ Flash is post rebirth. You don’t anything say about Barry, Wes? *Superboy Man of Tomorrow by Kenny Porter.* A great coming of Age story for Connor Kent. He is a man out place as whole world changes. The art is fantastic. Supporting characters are good, villain 100% memorable. I just wish DC editorial respect that continuity that Kenny wrote and let Maggs Shat on it. Maggs is terrible.
DC ain't really bad at all. There's been great books come and go. DC problem is they don't promote themselves. Then they let people who aren't fans promote them.
unpopular opinion here, i really like the Infinite Frontier relaunch too, the amount and varities of comics that came out during that period were staggering..
Why do you have to hype your post as something special by starting it with "unpopular" opinion"?! Can't you just state your honest opinion and let people decide if it's popular or not? Are you not confident in your opinion?
The whole Dark Metal event was garbage. Overhyped, overwrought and completely overdone. For me, Batman and Detective have never been the same since they killed off Alfred. More proof that Tom King is a garbage human being.
white knight is hugely overrated. cant believe its still going and is so popular. The first series was pretty good (the first half was great) but it was never as good as its first few issues and every series since has been nothing but diminishing returns.
Jon sucks and was forced as fuck. Rebirth was bringing back post-crisis, and in post-crisis, Kryptonian DNA and human DNA were incompatible. When asked why, all of a sudden, Clark and Lois could have a child we were given a "Some how Palpatine returned" answer with "That's comics!". Jon is boring and completely unessassery, Conner exists and is a far more interesting character than Jon will ever be. Jon should've just remained Clark and Diana's son in the Kingdom Come universe, being the watcher of Hypertime.
Jon does not suck. The kid version anyway. Adult jon was a bloody bore because Bendis . Kid Jon was fun and interesting. You only hate him because you are a cynical old man who hates change and wants everything to stay the same! Everyone loved Married Superman raising a son, so do not assume everyone hates Jon like you!
@@rachetmarvel931 I just wish they would be given a real chance and been explored in-depth. Nowadays all I see in the fandom is people bashing their relationship. It wounds me.
@@truespartan1000 Lots of people. If you're familiar with their history they've ALWAYS had a thing for each other. New 52 was a weak attempt since they were blank slates but it wasn't bad at all. We would have still gotten Jon because the ORIGINAL Jon Kent son of Superman was the son of Superman & Wonder Woman. Go read Kingdom Come. The modern Jon is just a really bad rip off. Clark & Diana had the better Jon. Lois & Clark having a kid doesn't even make sense since it was stated to be impossible for Kryptonian DNA and Human DNA to mix. So current Jon is just a forced retcon.
Rebirth was like going back to the 90's and it was awesome. They should have just stayed with Rebirth. The whole DC universe was on top for many of the super heros. But future state and this reboot sucks, trying to add new crapy characters and shrinking the universe all together! Take it back to Rebirth and stayed there!😊👍
Superman rebirth was great and heartwarming to see John and Clark relationship.
Geoff Johns Green Lantern Rebirth and Lantern Corp Wars and Blackest Night was some masterclass comic book storytelling. Such a good time.
The Sinestro Corps war and blackest night are 2 of my fav storylines ever. Jeff Johns is my fav writer of all-time
They’re before DC rebirth
Yeah waaay before @@kenlsten4651
Agreed but that was just green lantern rebirth not dc rebirth. Wes talking about a whole different thing.

We watched the animated
movie just yesterday… again!😊
oh supersons!!,such a great comic ruinned because certain mediocre writer doesnt know how to write kids (bendis)
@@cristiancamilocamachocombi9460 believe me I am still pissed off about that till this day.
Rebirth was perfect and Johns did his best. Dark Metals was good but it definitely ruined DC mainline and they haven’t been able to recover.
Dark metal was good, until they added the main universe to it. I only liked that story, for redeeming Superboy prime.
Superman: secret origins was also a solid origin story written by Geoff Johns and I’m pretty sure is the current canon origin after the new 52 and pre-new 52 Superman combined in Superman Reborn.
The downfall really started with Bendis
Definitely. Idk what did didio was thinking with bringing him in.

Clark & Diana had the better Jon. Lois & Clark having a kid doesn't even make sense since it was stated to be impossible for Kryptonian DNA and Human DNA to mix. So current Jon is just a forced retcon.
Act of God made the Lois Superman Wonder Woman relationship pretty messed up, oof!?
Rebirth= pure garbage.
Rebirth was like going back to the 90's and it was awesome. They should have just stayed with Rebirth. The whole DC universe was on top for many of the super heros. But future state and this reboot sucks, trying to add new crapy characters and shrinking the universe all together!
Take it back to Rebirth and stayed there!😊👍
