Absolut zu recht in der Liste:

WATCHMEN
THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN VOL. 1 & VOL. 2
V FOR VENDETTA
THE SANDMAN VOL. 1: PRELUDES & NOCTURNES
THE SANDMAN: ENDLESS NIGHTS
FABLES VOL 1: LEGENDS IN EXILE

TRANSMETROPOLITAN VOL. 1: BACK ON THE STREET

HELLBLAZER: ORIGINAL SINS
EX MACHINA VOL. 1: THE FIRST HUNDRED DAYS

Kenn ich nicht daher kein Kommentar:

THE QUITTER
KAMIKAZE KAITO JEANNE
SWORD OF THE DARK ONES

Naja bis was soll der Müll:

SUPERMAN: BIRTHRIGHT Naja
SUPERMAN/BATMAN: PUBLIC ENEMIES Total deplaziert
BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN Naja, eher nicht
BATMAN: HUSH VOL. 1 & VOL. 2 Nicht wirklich essentiel
IDENTITY CRISIS wirklich gut, aber muss nicht unbedingt in die Liste
JLA VOL. 1: NEW WORLD ORDER nicht wirklich nötig
GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH könnte rein, muss nicht unbedingt

Insgesamt sind mir da zuviele Titel aus den letzten, sagen wir mal 10, Jahren drin.
Dafür fehlen einige richtige Klassiker, wie Preacher, Swamp Thing und Killing Joke. Auch Planetary wäre eine Option, obwohl die Serie anfangs natürlich nicht zu DC gehörte.
