10 Best Comic Runs Of All Time

Batman always has some of the best talent in the comics industry working on his main title. Being the flagship character for DC Comics, the publishing giant hit a high point thanks to an ongoing Batman story written by Scott Snyder, and drawn by Greg Capullo.

This celebrated collaboration stands out for its deep interconnectivity throughout the entire run. Plot points are introduced in the beginning of this story that don't pay off until years years after their inception. Snyder and Capullo's Batman is a story that excels the longer it gets, weaving different elements together that all come together in a satisfying manner. Thematically, this run incorporates all the essential characteristics that make up Batman, most of all his status as the world's greatest detective.

Snyder and Capullo provide storytelling that feels cinematic in its execution, and the absolute height of this is seen whenever the Joker is involved. The story dives deep into the relationship between the Dark Knight and the Joker, while the art simultaneously shows some of the most gruesome scenes in Batman history. This run is defining for Batman, the Joker, and Gotham as a whole.

Nostalgia in comics has a way of making newer work seem less significant than stories from the past, but this run proves that the industry is full of life and modern classics are still being created.
