Lastly, you have Batman: One Dark Knight by Jock. Not the best story either.

Thanks for this list! I have a lot of these. The OHC's were my focus and I neglected a couple (on purpose lol)
My favorite would probably be Wonder Women by Daniel Warren Johnson. That’s my favorite black label so far. Although, I haven’t read all of them. Great video Jess! You had some amazing reads on there! Green Hell and Aquaman by Ram V are some others I really enjoyed!
Happy to hear you enjoyed Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity! Thanks!
well damn, Tyler!! Your work is everywhere lol!! You do a great job!! I'm going to start looking for you first thing from now on!!
My favorite part of that book was the very handsome leg under a sheet in the case files
Great video ... After watching, I went and ordered Joker/Harley AND Harleen. These will be my first HQ books... I'm excited!! Appreciate your videos!
Great choices! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Ooohhh this topic is really nice. I’ve always been hesitant with these and didn’t realize there was this many of them
I'm glad I could be of help! I missed a couple and a couple of them I didn't really like. There are enough of them though that if you have a favorite character, you should be able to find something you like!
This was really helpful, actually. There's a couple of books I need to check out. Thanks, Jess
awesome!! Glad I could be helpful!!
Thanks for doing this video, I needed this, I also need to get around to reading Cat Woman lonely city
Thanks my friend! Lonely City is amazing, can't wait to hear your thoughts!
Only read rogues so far but Blaze is coming in tomorrow!! Excited to watch this
I hope you dig Blaze! It benefits from rereading, I should've put that in the video
You shouldn’t feel the need to apologize for ranking books of your favorite characters high! I always see people do that, and it’s never an issue. Of course a good book having our favorite character as the lead will make it better for us personality that other good books we’ve enjoyed, it’s normal. This is a great list, and I pretty much agree with it, though I would personally rank Historia & Lonely City Higher than Harley/Joker - it’s a great book but not necessarily my favorite. But Harleen is definitely #1 for me as well.
That's a good point, Bar! I always feel the need to explain my love for Harley so people know there's a bias there but these books go above my love for her and are just really solid
Need to get the Hellblazer one, always had me intrigued so i will get that soon
Nice list Jess! So the devil showed up in Constantine, hmmm... I was wondering when he'd pop up again after Johnny sent him packing from Georgia!
Not only did the devil show up, he .. um… yeah.
I love the middle Zatanna poster.
Thank you!! I really dig it too!
Awesome topic.... I have only read a few of these... sounds like I should be read more of them
I legit think the top 11 should be read by everyone!
damn that batman damned is in mint condition that's awesome, is that the variant invisible foil cover by Lee Inhyuk?
I love how you can't see it, really adds to the mystery of batman, and I bet it saves a ton of space!
HAHAHAHA!! Yeah it is a big space saver lol!!
@@OmnidogsVault glad you found it funny too man I cracked up typing that out haha
@@kawaiihaki2480 VERY clever lol!!!
Oh jeez, I did watch this but I bet I was dealing with critters and was distracted. Watched it again and got Catwoman coming this way :)
I thought you'd seen this!! Catwoman is a book you will love!
great show jess! dont ferget fantastic four omnibus 5 coming soon also peacemaker second season show! 😉👍
Always appreciate your thoughts and views Jess mate 👍🔥❤👍 Much Love from Australia Mate 🍻👋❤👍
Much love to Australia!! Would love to visit someday!!
Harleen is absolutely fantastic!
It really is!! It's extraordinary!
Great list and I have a lot of these books. I would also rank Harleen at number 1.
It's always good to see another Bragg in my videos!! I haven't met many!! Glad you love Harleen too!!
Nice video ! Agree with n°1 (ex æquo with WW dread earth)
Missing :
Batman one Dark Knight (Jock : Phenomanal A+)
Joker (Lemire : A-)
Superman Lobo (don’t have it)
Aquaman is on the way, i usually love RamV scenario.
I just addressed Joker: Killer Smile but I totally need to get the Jock book!
Looks like ur missing: Swamp Thing Green Hell by Lemire, Joker Killer Smile by Lemire (i get it u got joker fatigue), Batman: One Dark Knight by Jock, Waller vs Wildstorm by Ackerman (newest i think). Just so u know what u might be missing ;). All 4 of those are the big magazine size.
I did cover Green Hell in this. I forgot about Killer Smile as I didn't care for it but I'll pin that as a comment
@@OmnidogsVault yea see i scrolled past Swamp, still got lots of these to read so just checked order (and what might be missing, so the Jock book and Wildstorm basicly) 😂😂
@@iekue I'll get the Jock book but may read the Waller book on the DC app first lol
I read some of them and I have others that I didn't read yet for example the Aquaman. I think that I liked Harleen quite a bit and the Wonder Woman Dead Earth was an interesting story worth reading. I read Blaze and it had fun or surprising turns however it was inconclusive. I was not satisfied. Have not read the Catwoman Lonely City yet or The Rogues.
Yeah some of these books don't have an ending that resolves everything. Some books are like that
Great video idea. I think all in all, DC Black Label has been a successful line.
I agree! For every Black Label miss, there are 10 good ones
Oh dang I’m excited for this, what a stunning idea 💪👏
Thank you buddy! I hope you enjoy it!!
Did you read Tom King's Batman Catwoman? I believe it was part of this line. Anyway, loved the video!
Yes but it was standard sized - these were the oversized ones! Thanks for watching!!
Your list of books you like is different from the books I like and this is the internet so I'm angry now!!!! But seriously, you've got Question way too low. That book reads pretty perfectly as a new Denny O'Neil Question book that takes place in 2020. Might be time for a reread
I reread it for this list lol! I liked it a lot, it's not like I gave it an "F" !!!
I have a quarter of the books on the list. Need to read Historia, and I assume you discount Frank Miller's Superman Year One. I loved Joker/Harley:Criminal Insanity which edged out Rogues for my #1. I believe Criminal Insanity got a softcover reprint with a extra issue. After I read Historia, coud change my mind on the list.
didn't know about the extra issue in Criminal Sanity! And yeah, the books not shown were books I wasn't interested in. I should have made that clear
I just realized when you mentioned Batman Damned that you were making it clear you were focusing on books in your collection. Some of us will happen to have the ones you don't. have.
@@MrTex-qy2mn yeah sorry Mr. Tex, the ones I don't have are ones I didn't really care for
Missing a few actually: killer smile, super vs lobo, waller vs wildsorrm, Batman one dark knight, and the other history of the DC universe.
Yeah I gave all those a pass, I should've been more clear about that!
How I would love an Oversized edition of Scalped...It is long overdue...
it's getting omnis which is great news
I agree with your number 1 but 2 and 3 would have been the WW books.
You shoudn't have to pre caution with a warning all the time with your opinions, just say them omni dogg! In fact if people hate your opinions and comment, more for the algorithim and more people discover your videos! Lol
A lot of people have said this to me! I will def keep in mind, thanks!
I had a serious cull after reading my copies.
I kept 10. Here's my order from worst to best.
10. Batman one dark knight
9. Joker killer smile
8. Swamp thing green hell
7. Catwoman lonely city
6. Suicide squad blaze
5. Rogues
4. Harleen
3.Wonder Woman Dead earth
2. Joker/ Harley
1. Batman Damned
Batman Damned!!! Well I'll be damned! Glad you love it!
@@OmnidogsVault yea but I must admit I'm a huge batman fan. I also love joker by the same creative team 😉
@@OmnidogsVault I really really liked joker/Harley. More than I was expecting to tbh
@@psi-judgesanderson6983 it was a surprise to me! The whole book was much different than I expected
No shame in keeping a book if it's got one of your favorite characters in it.
thank you! I guess I should stop apologizing lol
Loved the suicide squad story but hated the art. Couldn't see what was going on alot of the time.
yeah I get what you're saying and I agreed with you on my first read through. As I kept revisiting it, it became clearer to me. The main antagonist is purposely portrayed that way as it kind of "vibrates" as an entity but yeah- it does require some really careful "reading" of the art
