In my opinion, though, JLD is easily one of DC's best books.

JLD seem to focus more on Swamp Thing and I don't like the character. Frankenstein is amazing though.

Flash has some amazing speed fts as well

Throne of Atlantis had a great start and middle, but a weak ending.

Infinity has been all right so far.

Superman Unchained is, like the rest of the Superman books, kinda meh atm. It's okay, just not great.

I was really impressed with Trinity War (partially because of low expectations), but the evil stuff has been mixed so far.

Indestructible Hulk has been solid; Mark Waid can't go wrong.

What are the best individual issues released this year?

The one where Superman kisses Wonder Woman, because **** Lois Lane.

There was only a few issues of JLD that even featured Swamp Thing-- aside from those issues, he hasn't been involved in the book at all. And yes, Frankenstein is awesome-- his DCnU incarnation is beastly.

Swamp Thing was only in a handful of issues, bro!

I know...he was in the later issues...issue 19, 20, and 21. I stopped reading it after that...stopped at issue 22 where an infected Superman broke lose.

Thor God of Thunder is the best of the best or one of the best from beginning to end.
Constantine I have been good what I been hearing
Trinity
Infinity getting their
Indestructible Hulk solid
Captain America

Single issues.

Justice League 16 (Throne of Atlantis - Reis on art pawns everything)
Justice League 22-23 (Trinity War - Reis again does blockbuster better than anyone else)
Aquaman 21 (Dead King arc)
Thor God of Thunder 9,10,11
Phantom Stranger 10
Suicide Squad 22

Phantom Stranger has been gold under JM Dematteis. He gets mystic realm and I'm definitely looking forward to the Blight arc.

Omg you guys reminded me I completely forgot about Thor God of thunder with the Gorr story arc. It was phenomenal all the way through and the ending was epic. I have to disclose, I always thought Thor was cool but he was never a character I truly cared for. This storyline has made me grow a new found respect for the character. The amount of punishment and pain that he had to endure when facing a foe who's sole purpose was to eradicate skyfathers. For me the one moment that made me become a fan of Thor was when modern Thor felt hopeless and felt that all was lost, then he said the bomb cannot be stopped what do we do. Then all-father thor replied. "Your Thor, you hit it with hammers..." Then he proceeded to dual-wield 2 mjolnirs. Lol I officially marked out at that moment. This arc was a textbook example of what can be done with a character if written in a delicate cohesive manner. I now look forward to more of Third journeys in the near future.

My pick.

Wonder how many other superfans feel this way. I'm one that agrees with you on this.

To me, God of Thunder with gorr was the best story by far.

Also can anyone inform me if Indestructible Hulk is worth picking up? Carver appears to like it. As a child Hulk was my favorite hero of all time, but I unfortunately grew out of love with the character. I was hoping that this title may revitalize that fire again.

Waid is focused more on fts than story telling. If you are looking for fts, that's the book to pick up, if you are looking for something great to read, that aint it.

As someone who absolutely hated the majority of Pak's work on Hulk, I can tell you that it made me love Hulk's books again.

Thor byfar was the best; especially issue 10 the 3 Thor's vs Gorr was phucking epic.

Imagine if Thor had gained possession of the Necro-Sword and the extra Mjolnir.

The Living Tribunal Stark found would have had two hammer shaped holes in his head instead.

You should have read the issues before that.

Best story? Hmm, I'd give it to Wonder Woman.

Infinity is pretty good but the build up was far too slow and thus comes in second.

God of Thunder is probably third.

Wonder Woman 23. Blows all others away.
