7. Batgirl: Year One

The Year One line of miniseries and specials was one of DC's most fun diversions, and it's kind of sad that they aren't around anymore.

Batman Year One may be the best story in the character's history, Green Arrow Year One was a reinvention of the hero, and even less notable stories like Teen Titans Year One and Black Lightning Year One were totally worth reading.

The Batgirl origin miniseries covered the first year of Barbara Gordon's crime-fighting career, and it did it beautifully. Marcos Martin, guys. Who said he was allowed to be this good? His art was the standout of the book, gloriously fluid and gorgeously bright.

Co-writers Scott Beatty and Chuck Dixon complemented each other and made up for each other's shortcomings, and the result was a truly special comic book. And for a nine-issue miniseries, it didn’t feel like it was dragging. In addition, the one-off issue where she met Batman and Robin was perfect.
