      Problem with MMH is, he's a legit Superman clone with some extra powers. Unfortunately that's always gonna be his downfall. It'll be better if they just took the powers similar to Superman away from him. That's how I like to envision MMH.

    I am a big Aquaman fan.
    I think Geoff Johns' run is the most iconic run given the influence on the films. And its great. Jeff Parker's run right after his was also good. Dan Abnett's run is particularly great. Peter David's run was classic 90s.
    One of my favorites is Will Pfeifer's run followed immediately by John Arcudi's run. This is the Sub Diego story and it's a great Aquaman story. It's got the feel of a Superman story in some ways. The way Aquaman relates to the common man but is also their protector. It shows how he is seen by those within his domain (the sea). It's awesome.
    I think Hawkman is a missing candidate in your league. Hes my second favorite and his most recent series by Robert Vendetti is the best jumping on point for the character imo. For me the original 7, plus GA and Hawkman are the ultimate league I prefer. Then Canary, Hawkwoman, Atom, Red Tornado and Zatanna. As added weight. I like Captain Marvel but I also would rather see Hawkman.

    Justice League Dark's John Constantine best story is Dangerous Habits by Garth Ennis, and Justice League's Superman's best story is the Death and Rebirth of Superman by Louise Simonson, Dan Jurgans, Roger Sterns, and Jerry Ordway. Another great Superman story is even though it has the Justice League is Kingdom Come by Mark Waid & Alex Ross.

    I wish they would collect Greg Rucka’s Wonder Woman run in the Rebirth era in an omnibus. That is my favorite Wonder Woman origin story. Wonder Woman Dead Earth is phenomenal and is how I discovered Daniel Warren Johnson as a creator.
    Wally West is my Flash so the Mark Waid and the Geoff Johns runs are phenomenal.
    For Aquaman, I love Johns run, but also love the Peter David run, which I believe is getting an omnibus soon.
    Green Lantern is my favorite superhero, and totally agree that the Johns run is the definitive run on the character.

      Love that Captain Marvel/Shazam! and Martian Manhunter made the cut ! Was hoping The Spectre would be in there, too, but maybe we get a part two some day !
      To each their own with a lot of these type things. I personally am not into dark, 'realistic, and gritty anymore, but that does seem to be an important part of the comic book journey for many of us. Regarding The Big Red Cheese, Superman/Shazam! First Thunder had me doing some ugly crying at the end. But, interestingly enough, not until after the 3rd time I read it. I also love, and fully endorse, Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil by Jeff Smith.

    Ironically, Aqua man is one of my favorite superhero's. I'm glad you talked about his new 52 run, it's one of the best parts of the era. The same thing can be said about Shazam New 52. Also, an amazing Martian Manhunter by Rob Williams was an amazing run on the character. He is my favorite superhero of all time. However, it's very short, only 2 volumes. Definitely worth reading.
