in recent years? probably knight terroroverall? last time i was amazed by big event was like darkseid war or some shit
i guess hickman wars was ok too
Thought there was a bit of fatigue with Bats who Laughs, I enjoyed Metal and Death Metal too, just a wild ride. But I also wasnt waiting for the next issue with pure excitement.
The last one of those for me was probably Convergence, which ended up a bit disjointed and fairly mid because of the climax at the end, but I think I think its also a bit of an underrated event if you followed the main JLA and Earth 2 books, and then all the tie-ins, but for a casual it was a bit overwhelming.
The last one that I was super pumped about and actually delivered was either Flashpoint or Blackest Night. Blackest Night was also riding off the back of Sinestro Corp War, so hype was peaked for a good stretch on Johns run.

Honestly?
Missing The Walking Dead comic.
The superhero genre is fun, but it always goes back to the old status quo and nobody stays dead.

death metal and convergence was hated by most. i personally dont mind them. the good thing is they did expand a bit on the dc cosmology. but at the same time they are not good writing
I enjoyed metal, only because i love the design of all the dark knights, dawnbreaker and red death are dope, those origin books are the ones i read it multiple times
flashpoint as an event wasn't bad, and it did give us n52, but the whole thing left sour taste in my mouth because that reboot was so unecessary. after that dc took years to correct the reboot mistake because they dont even know what they are doing. which left us with the mess we are currently seeing now
blackest knight was the event that got me interested in comic book and it was during the days johns can still write a story or two

Same. It's been largely downhill from there.
Sure, there are moments of goodness, but on the whole? No event in a while has been particularly great.

Basically this. Can't think of any others, most of the ones I've read since then were garbage and a few were okay.

SCW might be the greatest event I've ever read. DC animating everything accept Rebirth, SCW and blackest night is a travesty lol
its too much of an animation for them to do
blackest night and scw both have the same problem
too many characters, too big of a worldview and too big of fight scenes.
they want to go with something simpler
sad but it is what it is
