I really miss 90s/early 00s DC, it felt like it was truly peak DC. What we have now feels like nothing but an empty hollow shell in comparison. Will they ever be this fucking based again?
I forgot to say that they still made crossovers with Marvel, back then.

I prefer the '04-'10 era myself. But the '90-'03 era had a lot of really good stuff too. All before Flashpoint scrubbed twenty years away. The worst thing being all the best New 52 books could've been done in continuity.

Also The Wildstorm stuff when they acquired that was the best its ever been, Wildcats 3.0, Sleeper, Planetary. Then there's Lucifer and ABC comics that are just amazing.
Resurrection Man Chase Chronos DC One Million Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E.

>Chase I was very disappointed in this. I ended up buying it after reading the first issue when it was storytimed here, and it just ends so abruptly. She's very underutilized, though I understand she popped up here and there in other books.

Added, thank you!

These years are looking a little bit empty. Any help, fellas?
'87 had that rad Doctor Fate mini with the ongoing follow-up starting the next year.

A part of me died when the New 52 was born

Is there an Omnibus for O'Neil's Question?
Noah Barnes
The loss of the old canon still sucks. So many characters and connections are either not around anymore or are completely changed.
It's not like they stopped publishing good stuff (and pre-Flashpoint wasn't exactly a high point), but there's definitely something missing. The DCU feels so much smaller.
Austin Howard
Hell no. Those bastards won't even reprint the trades.
