I've got two words for you:
Booster.
Gold.
Wait, wait, hear me out. Geoff Johns took his story from 52 and gave him his own book to play around with the history of the DC Universe. They did stuff from Paralax and Zero Hour to Barbara Gordon getting shot. It's a fantastic read, and the first 12 issues are already out in hardcover. (Booster Gold? In HARDCOVER? It must be the apocalypse.) My introduction to Booster was the Justice League Unlimited episode "Greatest Story Never Told," and he quickly became my favorite underdog hero in DC's 52 series. The idea for this book is like Quantum Leap meets Sliders meets the DCU, and it's just a treat.
I'm a real Geoff Johns nut because my other favorite currently is Justice Society of America, which he also writes.
