This is true of almost everything Batman is in, though. The same with Superman.

They're better off as foils or sounding boards for the surrounding cast/villains.

Lazy writers.

Dark Avengers. I bought the first issue out of morbid curiosity and it blew me away.
Wolverine: Origins. The first 20 issues were garbage, but I kept buying them out of curiosity as to what it was leading up to. Then the Deadpool arc was decent. Everything since has been great.

I don't get how Barry's ANYONE's favorite Flash, but whatever.

Conan

Never had any interest whatsoever in sword and sorcery books. Bought the first Dark Horse trade on a whim and I have been hooked for the past year and a half.

I really can't think of anything on my pull list right now that surprised me that much. But if you go back a little bit..

The Order: Even more than Iron Fist (which, at the time, I mostly atributed to Brubaker), this is the book that made me a Fraction fan.

Young Avengers: Anyone who says they knew this book would be that good is either a liar or from the future, and had already read it.

Madame Xanadu is the series that really comes to mind for me.

So true on YA, when it was announced, it was a fucking punchline, and then... it was good. For the first 6 issues at least.

My only problem with Lovecraft was the art. At parts it was smooth and pretty and in other parts it was real scratchy.

Just got the Mice Templar sketchbook, glad to see the guy that's helping out on art duties is really good.

Same here, after their limited series from a few years ago sold so poorly, I didn't think I'd read another series about them again.

I'm glad I was wrong with that thought.
