So I decided to just buy the team books (JLA, JSA, TT, GLC)and the events(Countdown, Final crisis), cuz thats where the real deal always seems to take place
but a part of me wonders if this is a good idea, so I am asking for some input from my fellow comic readers. What would you do? What do you guys to do when it comes to a decision like this?
Mainly because I want to start pushing my comic funds for a while into buying:
Certain TPB to fillin my bronze age gaps
DC archives: Superman, Batman, JL, allstar, and GL ( I need a lot, plus, there are rumblings they might get discontinued)
Countdown is horrible, imo -- DC should pay us to read it.
Anyhow,
I'd focus on the Sinestro Corps War right now for sure, [it's extremely good] -- and of course keep up with the Final Crisis series when it begins as well.
I'll get sinestro corps on TPB, and countdown I'm really interested in the Jason todd-donna troy-bob story, and I like Piper and trikster's story as well.

Countdown is just too large. But in reality...it's not really essential. If you want to get the bigger picture and get acquainted with the multiverse. Then Countdown is for you.
Your list is pretty good. As long as you have Superman and JLA you've pretty much got a good source to what's happening in DC Earth. Try to balance what books you want to follow. You can always skip fill-in writers. Here is how you can break down what you want.
If you're into Cosmic Events....Stick with GL and GL Corps.
If you're into DC earth...Supes, Batman, JLA, JSA, TT.
If you're into DC Magic...Shadowpact, Black Adam mini, Countdown to Mystery.
If you're into DC Crimeworld...Batman, Birds of Prey, Nightwing.
I cover as much as I can. There are books I dropped either because I hate the writer or I just don't feel like following anymore. Like Catwoman and Flash..and WW.
JLA is a definite for me. I always looked at that book a the back bone of the DC universe.
Maybe I can do:
JLA
Superman
Batman
Green lantern
JSA
TT
Countdown
death of the new gods
See I'm torn cuz Ireally want to buy the rest of the archives,dvd's, and TPB I want to get, and that will be expensive and itl take a while.
My list for books as follows:
Archives:
JLA vol. 6-9
Batman vol.7
Batman darkknight vol. 2-the latest
Dynamic duo vol. 2
Superman vol.2-the latest
Action comics- all of them
Man of tomorrow 1-2
Green lantern 1-6
All star 1-11
TPB:
Superman for tomorrow
Superman time and time again
Cosmic odyssey
Batman war games 1,2,3
Batman no man's land 1-5
Kingdom come
Batman war crimes
Best stories by alan more( has killing joke as well as the last 2 stories of silver age superman)
Sale/loeb batman-long halloween, haunted knight, dark victory
Green lantern rebirth
soon to be coming TPB sinestro corps war
I would not recommend this one. I bought both vol 1 and 2 for this. The plot line is very 2d and bland. The only good thing about this is Jim Lee's fantastic artwork, there some beautiful pics in those issues, but unless you are interested in the art alone, I don't recommend that story
