2. Deadshot

Ostrander, Yale, and McDonnel are all-time greats. How they found time for this, I'll never know.

Done during their classic Suicide Squad run, this miniseries was about the darkest chapter of Floyd Lawton's life. When his son was kidnapped, Deadshot went AWOL from the squad to cover his own business.

It's frustrating that this wasn't collected in the gorgeous new Suicide Squad trades, because it was a vital part of the story. Without it, Deadshot's mental decline came out of nowhere. But with it, you had a greater perspective on the character. He was so interesting and well-realized, and this was his time to shine.

It was also one of the darkest DC Comics ever printed while still being good. The scene in which Deadshot blew a guy's hands off with his wrist pistols is still perfect. Great cover work on these, as well. Each issue was distinct, but still a part of the greater whole.
