Everyone has their own starting point. If you’d never read Hal or the godawful story that made a villain of him, you wouldn’t know. I think only Spider-Clone comes close, for dividing fans.

^I got you. I was so wide eyed with comics back then. Consuming everything that I could. Now I'm so cynical about everything

^Silver Age Superman will be a good tonic for cynicism.

^you're speaking my language, man! The Silver Age stories are just so fun and wholesome

Its probably Infinity Crisis, mostly because of Nostalgia, it (and the follow up 52) was the reason i became a DC fan in the first place. A close second place goes to Crisis on Infinity Worlds

You mean infinite? Infinity is a Marvel word 😄

@Ham Brooks I know the whole watchmen as part of the DC Universe was very controversial but I really love Doomsday Clock. Even though I got into to comics on the backend of New 52 so I didn't have to suffer through the whole thing, I felt that Doomsday Clock made it worth it. I love meta storytelling (when done right) and it was cool to read a story that deconstructed superheroes without putting them in a negative light. Did you not like the story as a whole, or was it just that you would have preferred to keep the watchmen seperate.

@MasterOfTheMultiverse74 I didn’t read the story. I think Watchmen was meant as a stand-alone novel, and saw no point in the crossover. Gary Frank’s art doesn’t appeal to me, but I leafed through a few issues. Honestly, if there had been more than a glimpse here and there of the JSA, I might have picked it up, but as it is, I left it on the rack.

Infinite Crisis>

Infinite Crisis, 2005. Donna Troy was on her fourth origin: a combination of her first, second and third origin. And Diana has been in man's world since the 60's and Hippolyta was Wonder Woman of the 40's.
