1) The War between the Green Lantern Corps and the Sinestro Corps
With the Green Lantern Corps fully embracing their space policeman role, the Guardians of the Universe adapting with the times, and Sinestro at his most evil, this story arc delivered one of the best Green Lantern tales of all time while also planting seeds for future arcs. Hal 
Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, Kyle Rayner, Arisia, Ion, Ganthet, Sinestro, Anti-Monitor, Superman-Prime, Cyborg-Superman, the Manhunters, and more, this story rocked.

After the "5 Years Later" storyline of the late '80s, the classic Legion of Super-Heroes were never the same...and then they suffered through a complete reboot after "Zero Hour" and a new one just a few years ago.

But the classic line up (with a few changes and adaptations) returned in 2006 with the JLA/JSA team-up, and now they've teamed up with old ally Superman for their first case together in years. It's great to see Dawnstar, Wildfire, Night Girl, Polar Boy and others back along with the real Shadow Lass, Cosmic Boy, and more. THIS is the Legion as they should be and I can't wait to read more adventures with them.
3) Gail Simone writes Wonder Woman
One of today's best mainstream superhero writers is now on the title I think she was born to write. Only two issues in and already the title character has more personality than she's shown in the most recent reboot. After suffering through the horrendous "Amazons Attack" mini-series, Wonder Woman fans finally have a writer that can bring on the good stuff.
4) Booster Gold

4) Booster Gold
Who would have thought a new Booster Gold ongoing series would be any good...and yet, this one is brilliant. Written by Geoff Johns and drawn by Booster Gold creator Dan Jurgens, this series bounces all over the DC Universe's past, present and future. In 5 issues we've seen Flash (Barry Allen), Kid Flash (Wally West), Batgirl (Barbara Gordon), Jonah Hex, Sinestro, Joker, Ultra-Humanite, Per Degaton, the Justice League of America, Blue Beetle I (Dan Garret), II (Ted Kord) and III (Jaime Reyes) and more in addition to series regular the time master Rip Hunter. This title is fun, in the tradition of the original Blue Devil and Harley Quinn series.
5. A better backstory for Supergirl
A few years ago, DC brought back the real Supergirl (Kara Zor-El) and then promptly ruined her by making her an angry, edgy teenager who was sent to Earth by her sadistic father to kill her cousin Kal-El (Superman).
Over the course of the series there were examples of false memories and possible memory implants, which gave many readers hope that this backstory wasn't true and that we might get the real Supergirl back after all.
While it's too early to know for sure, Supergirl #24 showed a new backstory that feels like home. The evil father and the mission to kill Kal-El are no longer....Supergirl was sent to Earth by her loving parents because they wanted to save her from Krypton's destruction. If DC can continue to redefine Supergirl as the heroine she should be, this series may turn out to be good after all!!
